Working Your Life Around Fixtures.

It's fucking hard these days, when i was younger you could get loads in home and away, so many things in the way now, still get to a good few matches though during a season.

I was, on behalf of my mate, got shut of it in the end but mithered a load of folk.

yeah thought so was in corner near pool table

I don't know how I did it years ago. One season I went to every game bar one. Even preseason friendly's. Walsall away was the one I missed. So close to a perfect attendance record. Still pisses me off now when I think about it.

 

I did that the season we played Tranmere at Wembley, think I did 54/55 games. SLF had reformed and every man and his dog was going to see them at International 2. I missed our 3-0 loss at Blackpool in the SVT. Was gutted to miss that one game, but at the time didn't realise I'd get close to a full house that season.

 

Definitely stopped caring about fixtures now though when booking gigs, holidays, etc, etc.

Its my main priority. Id like that to change but cant see it though

My dad cancelled a family Holliday as it clashed with FA cup semi final weekend as we were bound to beat Oldham.

 

We enjoyed watching Oldham v DMB/Luton v Chelsea in our front room instead of sat by the pool in las Americas :-)

 

When I was at 6th form it meant working weekends at JJB and having to miss Bolton. I fucked it off one Saturday to go Blackburn away then quit college on the Monday to get a full time job so I could watch the whites.

Why didn't you go and how far into the season was it?

 

Think my best season was 2002/03 when I did all home games and about 14/15 of the aways

 

Last season only did 1 away and missed about 7 homes, some out of choice, probably my "worst" since uni days

 

Was second half of the season. March/ April time iirc. Had an operation to rip my adenoids out.

Had an arrangment in my old job to have every Bolton game off
