Cancelling for Wembley

6 months ago, many of us probably only dared to dream of making the playoffs, let alone the final. My daughter is gong to be on holiday with her new boyfriend so misses the final (not sure I like his attitude towards lifes priorities) 🙁

I wonder who is having to cancel, postpone or apologise, for prioritising Wembley on Sunday.

Who wins the prize for the biggest other event being missed?

    So is it via London Bridge or Via Farringdon this time? Expecting the Liz line to be banged out with both us and Orient supporters

    We booked our holiday three months ago and I told my wife we couldn’t go until the Monday. That’s blind faith.

    As soon as you use the term operation, I am picturing a secret palace fan wearing a Charlton/orient half and half scarf

    I was going to enter a 10K road race that finishes in the Sixfields stadium that morning, but I might just give that a miss if I can get a ticket. If not, I'll enter but might have to run a PB to get home in time to watch it on TV.

    I missed 2019 due to being in Madeira with the in-laws for their Golden wedding anniversary. I've never been so ungrateful for such a beautiful holiday.
    The sedate pensioners and unsuspecting locals were not prepared for this solo hooligan going absolutely berserk in a peaceful near empty pub.
    Safe to say I've not made the same mistake this time!
    Wembley here we come!

    True fans never book holidays or events during the play off window 
    I agree. I never have done. 

    However, in 2019 my wife arranged a surprise holiday in Norway / Sweden to see the midnight sun. She arranged it for May ‘after the football season’. I can tell you Narvik in Sweden is virtually WiFi - free on a Sunday!

    So you couldn't get hold of your wife to tell her the score?

    Off to Majorca next Thursday with mates. I’m in two minds. I have been a crap fan and only been a few games so I can’t really get upset about it…

    On the other hand, they don’t come round very often. Tricky.

    Awful ain’t it. The peace talks I had broke down.

    Apologies to all, and I repent to the footballing gods!!

    What on earth was I even thinking. 

    I went to 'Surgical procedure' Blackburn, and it is forever in my memory of games with a a depressing outcome. Pretty sure I still have the t-shirt with Pardew's mug on it.

    Thanks to the mods for correcting my faux paa.
