Being Forced Into Booking An August Holiday - Help

Sun May 12, 2013 3:55 pm

I have tried my damnedest to hold out until 19th June and the PL fixtures but it ain't washing anymore as holiday options get booked up.

I can be home on the weekend of the 17th OR 24th but not BOTH.

Who reckons we will get a home game on the first weekend?

We could play on a Sunday or Monday. Not nailed on for a Saturday fixture.

Tell the kids you're going to teach them to be thankful for what they got then take them to a caravan site. After a few days they'll get tired of shitting in a cupboard like a Swansea fan and cry to go home. You can then tell them thats how Swansea fans live and how lucky they are to have a nice bathroom at home in the lovely house you have. Give the money you have saved to your wife to enjoy a luxury spa somewhere else then you can sneak back with the kids, drop them off at your mothers and go and watch the game.

:old:

I think this is gonna be my choice. Be home for the opening weekend and hope for a home game first.

I wouldn't mind a mid September holiday, just don't want to miss the FIRST home top flight game in 50 odd years.
