Aug 6th Absentees

Are there any STH's not going to make the Donny game due to their partner wanting the annual family holiday at this time?

If so, MAN UP! I hope this is a short thread, LOL .....

Worse, I am flying out of UK on 25 September

Seriously contemplating coming back for just one day on 27th.

I will however make the game on the 6th August

 

[Pat McCrotch]

I'm not missing Donny but wont see Blackpool and Peterborough for this reason. Women huh?

 

[Sir Norman Gull]

Arranged 2 week hols during Wimbledon instead of the usual beginning of August this year-wise move!.Am going to Donny game but a bit of a close call,having to leave at the whistle to get to London to see Iron Maiden at the O2! leaving SNG jnr to make his own way home!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Quite the opposite; getting back in good time for the Donny game. May not have a ticket for it, but at least I'll be in country

 

[Jim in the West]

The family holiday starts on 6th August. Wife, kids, friends flying to France in the afternoon. I take the overnight ferry from Portsmouth in the evening!

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Thought most fans had wised up and looked to the future....never,ever book anything during the football season....seemples.

 

[HovaGirl]

Nope, even I'll be there. Flying in on 5th, flying back on 7th August!

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Flying back on the 3rd to allow for delays.

Me too.

Never been to a Palace game, and we book the holiday for then.

 

[JJ McClure]

I'm safe for the Donny game but like stoo and Icy I'm on holiday for the Palace game which is a tad gutting.
I'm meant to be at a wedding reception on the same Friday as the Leeds game, but have told the wife I'll see her there after the match...she ain't happy.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I've booked a holiday in Croydon....advice please!.........................................................................Ducks down and quickly signs off!

yes I have the same, however I am not all that fussed as we have a nice holiday booked. looking forward to the 6th immensely though.

 

[Nickols4]

Wedding in Northen Ireland over the opening weekend. I was one of very few hoping they'd stick the Donny game on tv on the sunday eve/monday night so i could make it back.

Words cannot describe how gutted i am.

 

[Elms]

Inexcusably booked a family holiday to Italy months ago with flight times that get us back to Gatwick the evening of the 6th. Completely stupid, couldn’t believe it when I realised! Luckily I have an amazing wife, and with her kind agreement I have booked an early flight home in order to be there…just.

 

[chesterseagull]

Two week annual holiday begins 29th July, however this year I have persuaded the wife that Eastbourne offers much much more than the South of France. Come 3.00 on the 6th of August I'll be enjoying the glorious sunshine of our lovely Amex Stadium.

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

After protracted negotiations I have managed to get my better half to agree to delaying our holiday by a week. This means I will miss the Blackpool game but will be back the day before the Peterborough match where I expect CMS to score at least 5!

 

[logan89]

My father is away on Holiday so i get to use his ticket for that day. i have already told my team, and cricket team, that i can't play that day.

 

[fire&skill]

Not only did we plan our holiday to keep August 6th free, but my delightful wife has arranged to return from her Mum's by train on the day of the Blackpool game, when I was supposed to be driving two hundred miles to collect her. It only means that I'll miss the P'Boro game as we're away camping and it's our wedding anniversary.

I love her very much

 

[Max Paper]

Worked out nice for me

We all thought we would be home on the 6th, so with that in mind we booked our weeks holiday the following Saturday (pride)
We miss the Gillingham game but I'm not concerned about that, and two away games at Cardiff and Pompy and then an early rise the next Saturday to make it back for Blackpool at home!
Slightly gutted about missing the Pompy away game but it could have been a lot worse
