You'd be surprised. Back in our Championship days my daughter couldn't make our home game against (I think) Huddersfield. At the last minute my next door neighbour - lapsed Arsenal supporter who hadn't been to a game in years - decided he'd come with me. The game was a desperately miserable 0-0...

I already have lost out though. Before the new scheme came in, if my daughter couldn't come (I already pay for her ticket) then I would bring my wife or other daughter instead. Say daughter with the season ticket misses 2 matches in a season (which is standard for her). I now have to fork out an...

For quite a few though it's not the football that's the real issue, it's all the off field crap. Why am I 'entitled' to want to be able to just pass my ticket to someone else if I can't go? Is it 'entitled' to not want to spent the best part of £10 just for a pie and pint? Is it 'entitled' to...

I've had two season tickets since Withdean - one for me and one mainly used by my daughter but also by others as and when she couldn't make it. Up until last season if she couldn't go I'd usually bring either my wife or other daughter. Or if it's an evening game my neighbour might come. Or my...

World cup kick off times are always a bit screwy when they're not in our timezone - it is a worldwide competition after all. Regarding Qatar, I'll still watch the football but I will note who the sponsors are (probably the usual FIFA lineup) and simply not buy anything from them. That includes...

This is what have done a number of times in the past and will probably do this year. As a family we unanimously despise roast turkey with a passion

The relegation talk is natural if only because we've spent a lot of time down at that end of the table since we got promoted. The year Leicester won the prem their main target going into the season was to get to 40 points - Ranieri brought it up at almost every interview. For quite a large part...

Very much this. If I'm going to ride a giant firework I might as well go somewhere, even if it was only the moon

What's the difference between that and the fact that USA, Canada, Russia, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Korea and Japan (among others) all kill whales "for scientific purposes"? I haven't seen the petition to FIFA/UEFA asking for them to be banned. Or is it because only the dolphins were headlined...

Got bought this - or something very similar - by my kids for my fiftieth (so some years ago now). Went for the Ferrari, Lambo and Aston Martin. It was a fun day out, helped by the fact that it was on a gloriously warm June day at Dunsfold. Did the usual thing of haring round the track in the...

Though it does seem to mention the name 'Redknapp' on commentary

Agree with you re Sterling and Foden, but City haven't bought Grealish to win the title, they've bought him to stop their rivals from doing so.

Having now tried the 'online COVID pass service' on my mobile I was able to get a barcode which expires in 4 weeks which I could load into the Apple wallet where it now sits alongside my Watford ticket. Kinda makes the NHS app a bit redundant though - and now I've done that my COVID pass on the...

And what happens when the app doesn't play ball? I downloaded the app a while back and checked that it showed my vaccination status - all good then. Off the back of reading this thread I just went into the app and although all of the other services are working fine if I try 'Get your NHS COVID...

Had mine out in mid April via keyhole but got kept in overnight because of other issues. Despite doing a desk job I still needed the two weeks off work as I felt knackered a lot of the time but really started to feel better towards the end of the 2 weeks, so hopefully things will improve for you...

This is not new. A few years ago a very close relative of mine took a large sum in compo from West Sussex fire brigade but had to sign a non-disclosure agreement after being driven out by bullying and finally a farcical attempt at prosecuting him for a made-up crime. All because he questioned a...

It does seem a bit “lucky” that the pingdemic has coincided with this year’s sunny spell. Bit like the coincidence of a terrible bout of sickness striking railway staff on the day of the Euro2020 final

Very much this

I was there with my youngest daughter. An emotional day. On the park and ride bus from Mill Lane as it come down the hill past Coldean and the stadium came into view it went very quiet as everyone just took it in. It would have been my dad's 72nd birthday but sadly he'd passed away a couple of...
