Nah As soon as we’re back playing you’ll be there. Everyone will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2020 Depends. Not arsed in the slightest about not seeing Keith in his cap and trainers building fuck all with his blocks. Would be good to go and watch some cohesive football though.

Like the start of a new season. Saying that I can’t say I’ve missed watching it as much as I thought I would, I do miss work though. Missed it not going to the game. Not missed it being on TV one jot. Whereas previously I would have put the game on, Ive found other stuff to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the time together and the fact we have a common interest, but as I don't really drink much when she's around, it gets to be a bit of a drag sometimes. I'm spending upwards of £150 some games and being sober. We travel to most games on our own, so I'm not even getting into the camaraderie of being in a group often either.

Leyther_Matt Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I don’t think any of us are missing the actual football, but that probably only applies to fans of a select few number of clubs anyway. I never thought I’d be so glad to have gone to Wimbledon and, to a lesser extent, Burton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one good thing that has come from her being into it, is that at football she doesn't come across as the shy reclusive set in her ways autistic child that she is. And she now knows quite a few people on at least nodding if not speaking terms. Who knows? I might feel different when the option is there, but I'm certainly not missing the actual "football" When daughters flights home for easter were cancelled, she wrote this season off Think shes getting an idea this summer could be a brucie bonus Id better start saving up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted April 9, 2020 Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 If you stick with it now Traf in a few years time she’ll be driving then it’s a free lift 😁 When we found out we were having a girl I was ever so slightly gutted because I just envisioned taking my son to the match but my daughter is almost 3 and her favourite thing to do is run around the garden blocking the ball or sitting with me whilst I watch games. It’s slightly killed my wife because I think she envisioned a pink pony riding little girl and at the moment she’s just not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was highlighting why I'm not missing going full stop, as I don't enjoy the other benefits that most do. Partly because of my own reservations about getting pissed with a 14 (now15) yr old in tow.

I’ll be honest i think it’s the fact I’m not desperate to see our relegation confirmed and any end to the season will be shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
