6th August 2011

[Barrel of Fun]

Is anyone else otherwise occupied on that date?

A Bath wedding ensures that Barrel of Fun will not be at the first game at Amex (assuming we do have a home tie that day - 99.9% certain?).

Drat and damnations

It better be your own wedding. Or one of a partner who thought she'd pushed you to your death down a scottish mount, now living a second life and intending to marry a rich jew, that you have dreamt of administering revenge against for the last 6 years with the collapse of her wedding and cudgelling her crooked head in.

It's my parents' golden wedding anniversary that day, up in Harrogate. But we've managed to convince them to celebrate it a week early

nice work ELS

[Everest]

My daughter's wedding the week before.
I gave her strict instructions not to marry on my 50th b/day (6th Aug) otherwise she'll have to find someone else to give her away.

It was touch and go for a while, but she saw sense in the end.

6th Aug 1961 was a good day, ELS!

I have to attend a wedding that day but luckily for me its a sikh wedding which means everything has to be done before 12 midday. Still its not the kind of build up i wanted before our big day, as its in f***ing Southall so hope all roads are clear.

 

[Martinf]

You're getting married in a bath?

 

[Martinf]

Bollocks to that. Still I haven't had to negotiate my way out of a wedding so it's easy for me to talk. All I had to do was convince Mrs F to move our holiday to France to late August. I will miss a game or two but not the SACRED FIRST.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Poor guy.

Shirley you can get out of it? Mysteriously you are taken ill the night before? ...you nobly and courageously entreat all significant others 'go on without you'?

 

[pottert]

If we are promoted this season a strong possibility our first game at falmer will be televised,as the premier league. does not start until a week later that could mean the first game may be on Sunday the 7th.Before the charity shield

 

[Bean]

I'm bound to be on holiday on that date as I am every year until late August

 

[KneeOn]

The third week is likely to be me away in edinburgh but i've made it clear i'll scrap that holiday, i'll scrap everything to be there on that one date, that one match.

 

[Perkino]

I'm coming back from the holiday early just to get there

 

[16bha]

I will be sitting at Malaga airport, totally pissed off, and looking for some link to the game. I will be one of the few pleading for an away game on 6th August!

 

[16bha]

I'm coming back from the holiday early just to get there

You're a better man than me!

 

[Easy 10]

They can always get married again.
But there will NEVER be a first game at the Amex again. Ever.

 

[Bean]

Anyway, what makes you so sure that the first game of the season will be home?

 

[Easy 10]

Its been arranged. Even Pride has been bumped.
