Once you're over 21 and / or married Feb 14th is a 'please can we have football' day.

[Albion] Are you going to the Chelsea Cup game?

- Start date
I wonder what on earth the supporters of other teams think when they read this board right now... and before someone says "but you've never been here!!!" - well, thats true, but at least I want to be there...

8pm KOs at The Amex are a massive ball-ache as we all know, and two in a row is rotten, and two in a row against Chelsea is as bad as it gets. But I actually loathe Chelsea way more than I detest Palace and so I'll have to go to both, though I'm a bit worried about how I can sustain a "BOOOOOOOO.....!!!" if Cucurella, Sanchez and Caicedo all play...

Going but need to wait until members can get tickets to take the grandson.
The best one is 'it's dead late' like going out between 6pm and 1am is completely unheard of on a Saturday night.
Or the even more bizarre 'I'd be tempted if it wasn't chelsea'.
I don't dare to ask why people in every other country are able to go to games starting at 20.00, 21.00 or even 22.00 without it being seen as some sort of crime against humanity. Could you ask for me?
Champions League games start 8pm and are played on weekdays. People must be on their knees praying we never get there.
Are you really saying that your working age son is unable to find the time to buy his own ticket between this morning and Thursday morning?

With the same concern I tracked down YouTube tutorials by vocal coaches on how to hold notes for a very long time. My aim is to get a kind rolling, perpetual motion booooo by 2027.
So speaks the people’s champion.
The fact that this grand old competition has been sold to multiple bidders and had replays (that could earn the poorest clubs fortunes) replaced by extra time and penalties (that mean London based Chelsea and Brighton fans might not make it home) hasn’t gone down well with exactly the same set of supporters you’re trying to ingratiate yourself with.
8pm on Saturday with the possibility of extra time and pens, given the public transport in this city, is an abomination. But at least it means you’ll be able to stream it in your cave

It’s utterly pathetic. Should just rename that thread “are you a wrong ‘un?”

Lots of people want to be there. But your missing the point.
Thread wouldn't be here if it was a 3pm KO.
I'm going because car sharing allows. Not everyone can.
Surely it's an opportunity to treat the other half to a night out at the Amex and kill two birds with one stone?
I'm genuinely considering this you know.

I'm taking my wife up the Amex on the Friday, just like I did last time it was on 14th Feb, which was quite a few years ago now, v Millwall

Perhaps the matches you mention are in cities with better transport links? I used to live in Liverpool, and whatever you say about the city, it has great public transport (or at least used to) along with the most black cabs outside London. Getting to and from Anfield was waaaaaaay easier than the Amex primarily as the location was in a spot that whilst not central, was still decent and people disperse in all directions. Most of the Amex traffic moves east to west and it is highly reliant on the trains which have gotten worse over the last few years.
