Birthday party / football clash...

[16bha]

Mrs 16BHA has booked my daughters 5th birthday party at the same time as Hull City at home. Slightly problematic in itself.

She then says "don't worry, you go to the football". What the hell should i red into that? Is it an open offer or a veiled threat?

Should I be a bad dad or bad supporter?

bad dad...

Your daughter will only have one 5th birthday.
The Albion will have at least 26 home games this season.

Good call

Football all day long!

Plus, if you go to the party rather than the football, you pass her test and get brownie points

... Is it an open offer or a veiled threat?...

Well that's pretty obvious innit!

You'll find out when/if you get home

If her birthday is actually on that Saturday then you're stuffed - you ought to go to her party.

However, if her birthday is not on the Saturday and the Mrs has booked on Saturday for 'convenience', then make a fuss of your daughter on her birthday and go to the game guilt-free with your wife's blessing.

I think it should be your daughters birthday. It is only hull after all. I was shitting myself until the fixtures came out, I did a huge sigh of relief when Donny was the day before my daughters birthday. If it had been moved to the Sunday for TV, I'd have been screwed.

priorities surely daughter. i love the albion but if it was a choice family comes first with no second thought.

im lucky that my girl will be 6 on 26th november when we are home against Coventry, oops, but she wants my misses to come along to watch (if can get another ticket) and go for a birthday meal in east stand restaurant. party will be the sunday then with all her friends. promise, she had the choice to miss football and have party but she wants to do both lol (plus wants to get her name read out at half time lol)

No brainer. Just to clarify IT'S YOUR DAUGHTERS FIFTH BIRTHDAY!

i booked my sons 6th birthday party on the peterborough game, i am a season ticket holder and only have been once

ignoring what your wife says, it is your daughter's 5th birthday. You would need to be a pretty poor father not to go to that. You should get some perspective and go to her birthday, it will mean the world to her.
