Why not have the internationals at the start of august? I imagine I'm not the only one not caring one iota whether we win or lose to whichever insignificant European country we play as it'll make no difference if we get to the world cup anyway.

I do care, very much, but just seems nonsensical to have three premiership games and then straight into an international break. Would rather they had one early December when attendances are traditionally lower anyway.

Similar position to my wife and myself, no kids, but do have nephews to stay in the summer, being near London, the cost seems to be hyped up.
Worth every penny though :)

Yeah......we are looking forward to it, in all honesty, first time we have done the Adult only hotel thing, but the reviews on trip adviser are amazing, #shouldbegood :)

They seem to opt out of international tournaments quickly enough.

Not seen a game yet this season, and not sure when I will get to one either.

You've been playing cricket, I see. That's even WORSE, as excuses go.

Nottingham Forest and Rotherham at home, Newcastle away for me. The ever so slightly expensive one was Newcastle with the cost of train, hotel, and considerable amounts of . . . . . :drink: :drink: :drink:

I am now recovering at home.

I doff my hat sir... mean it, not being sarky.

Kind words dear sir! Apart from the result, the trip and stay up in Newcastle was a wonderful experience. The Geordies that I met were generous and friendly, and great drinking buddies. They were full of praise for the Albion, and especially for Chris Hughton.

It was defininetly up there with the best of football's away trips! :cheers:

Due to an ill-timed holiday (although, I had very little choice about when we could go this year), I've yet to see the Albion play bar watching the second-half of the Forest game on my laptop.

Getting home yesterday, one of the things I was looking forward to was going to a game this weekend and getting back into football mode properly. This morning I take a look at the fixture list to discover it's a sodding international break and I have to wait until nearly mid-September for my first game.

Anyone else yet to see a game this season?

Call yourself a fan? ???

You've failed the written English test. You're out. Tommy Robinson's arresting officers will come a knocking soon. #fascistcleansing
