Huge Dilemma

wehatepalace · Apr 13, 2017

So the date is April 29th 2017, it's The Albions last home game of the season and in all probability a promotion party should be in full swing............but it's also my rugby team (of which I'm captain) finest hour as we feature in the County Cup final, and at my age possibly my last chance to lift some silverware.
I'm also top scorer, and have helped coach the team all season, a team created out of nothing at the start of this season from a load of complete newbies and some seasoned old vets, to say I'm proud of what we've achieved would be an understatement.
So what do I do ? I love the Albion but a cup final is a cup final ?
NSC help me decide !

Got to be your cup final, very different of those who have a choice between watching a rugby match or two blokes hitting each other.

Is it local enough to win the cup and then shoot down to the Amex as its a late ko

sparkie · Apr 13, 2017

5:30 kick off at the Amex. Is both do-able ?

You play the cup final, don't let your team mates down and pass your ticket onto a deserving Albion fan. If you miss out on the promotion party. it's your own fault for playing with the wrong shape balls.

You have to play!!

You are asking this on a Brighton & Hove Albion forum, the answer from the masses is obvious. Much like if you asked the same question on a rugby forum...

For what my opinion is worth, and that's generally not much, I'd go to the football. The cup final will be great but pale into insignificance as the years go by in comparison to the final home league game of this campaign.

You have to play the final. I coach a rugby team and would love to be young enough to play again. Take your chances while you're young ... the Albion will play other big matches, you may not.

You HAVE to play!

FatSuperman · Apr 13, 2017

Play. And you'd better bloody win it and report back here!

This does rather smack of a "look at me I'm marvellous" thread.

Of course you should play. You'll be letting nobody down if you miss the Albion.

Good luck in the final.

It's being played at Uckfield 2.30 KO provided no extra time is needed....it's possible, dependant on the length of time the official stuff after takes.
But if we win there's a lot of drinking to be done, in keeping with rugby tradition ....plus the club have layed on a coach to take us there and back.

You have to PLAY.

Can't let down your team-mates.

TEAM.

(then rush down the Amex after)

In my experience, if you lose there's lots of drinking to be done

Marshy · Apr 13, 2017

Play and get to the AMEX asap is what i would do.

Ah, right - so actually there's NO DILEMMA whatsoever.

If you'd genuinely like to do both, then you take your own car to the rugby (or wife drives you), play the match, rush to the Amex when you can, then re-join your rugby mates in the evening.

Don't play = letting down your team-mates hugely.
Not drinking after, with good reason = not letting down anybody.
