What is your big sacrifice to qo and watch Albion......

[Puppet Master]

Two I have made but sure others have given up more...
1.Had a date with a gorgeous Danish model but went to Albion instead.

No offence but are you a bit insane?

Jimmy Savile said he will show me his personal awards but I said I was on my way to the Millenium Stadium. Never regretted that

Happiness

 

[SeagullSongs]

Moved and shortened a foreign family holiday to make the Doncaster Amex game once the fixtures were announced.

No sacrifice to me, a pleasure, but selfish over the rest of the family.

No regrets ... Will never forget the wall of singing noise as I entered the WSU concourse from the stairwell, and 2 incredible and calm finishes by William Buckley.

I wish we'd done the same, but I will have to live forever in the knowledge that I wasn't there for the first game. It was a very hollow day of sunbathing in the 50 degree heat by the pool.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Missed a very close family members wedding day
Very very awkward & guilty with the lying for that one.

 

[Woodchip]

My sanity.

I wish we'd done the same, but I will have to live forever in the knowledge that I wasn't there for the first game. It was a very hollow day of sunbathing in the 50 degree heat by the pool.

The strange thing about the game, was that we were heading for defeat, but it didn't matter just this once, due to relocating to this futuristic and colossal stadium, with 21,000 fans (compare and contrast with Priestfield and Withdean).

The surprise of the Buckley goals was the icing on the cake.

The wall of noise, was incredible. Brighton were back on the football map.

if true.......plonker

i know my mate a few weeks ago wasn't happy after we lost at selhurst and he turned down tickets for England v NZ at the egg chasing

Yes it was true....and her father owned the second largest independant brewery in Denmark....she ended up marrying a Swedish diplomat...1972.....

 

[nwgull]

Ended what could have been a promising relationship because i went to "too much" football. Thing is it was the champ season in L1 any other and i wouldnt have gone to as many aways.

You would never have been happy. Any bird that complains that you do too much of something that you always did before you met her is both controlling and needy.

Father inlaws wedding........

 

[Magic Sponge]

Missed a really good mates wedding to go to the cup final in 83, don't see that much of him anymore !
Missed my sisters 50th birthday celebrations for Cardiff at home last season, it's my 50th this year so she'll probably be busy!

 

[empire]

not taking any decent chefs jobs in london, i refuse to work weekends,meaning at present i earn about 20grand less a year,watching bha is a obsession

 

[Brownstuff]

got a disciplinary warning for not turning in to work on the night of the cup final replay. Had problems with the train back to Birmingham from London as well and ended up with a 10 mile walk home so pretty bad night all round.
Walsall a few yewrs ago I got an early flight back from Amsterdam but it was delayed. Frantic drive up the M6 in pouring rain - parked illegally and got there just as we went 0-3 down on a night when we played some of our most dismal football ever. Got a parking ticket too.
Leicester in the league cup away - missed the last train and slept on the station on a bitterly cold night before going straight in to work via M&S to buy a suit and shirt (jeans not allowed in those days).
That aside, every home game is a 400+ mile round trip and between 7 and 9 hours driving with evening games meaning an afternoon shopping with the wife in Churchill Square (never cheap) and getting home at 2am or later.

Missed the last train home too from that league cup game at Filbert Street, in them days never did any research into train times and it was a case of just getting the next available train at whatever time.
Ended up kipping in Birmingham New Street Station freezing my nuts off as only had a polo shirt on, spent whole night pacing up and around the station to keep warm.
Got earliest train back and went straight to work at 7-Eleven in Brighton stinking in same clobber ready (or unready) for a 12 hour shift.
Worth it though as was a good result and atmosphere at Leicester.
