[Albion] FA cup final Day May 18th 2019

[swindonseagull]

Just happens to be one of my nieces wedding day.......I have told them I cant say yes or no until at least after March 16th....Today stressy mother of the bride phones and says..' You need to say yes or no this week or your seats will be given to someone else' ( sounds like Paul B)

Tried explaining but to no avail.......

I did tell the groom to be 6 months ago it was FA Cup final day and if BHA are at Wembley I would not be able to go to the wedding......he was gutted ( not because I cant go) but he had booked a wedding on cup final day......Bride has also said ' there will be no TV's at the wedding' wedding KO is 4pm!!!!

As Simon Cowell says ' its a No from me.


Anyone else have the possibility of a double booking? if so whats your outcome?

I got married on the 28th May 2016, which would have been the play off final date had we beaten MASSIVE, luckily we didn't as I don't think the missus would have forgiven me not being at my own wedding.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

It's my 51st Birthday... but no plans

Hopefully I will be celebrating in style.

No double bookings, but it's my birthday.

Suffice to say, I've been playing over an increasing number of scenarios in my mind since we beat Bournemouth.

Long way to go before then though, especially if we get Man United away...

That's three of us with birthdays on the same day.

Going to be some party when we beat Palace 3-0

Just say you are going

If we make final you are struck down with food poisoning 24 hours before - then go in disguise to Wembey

I’m flying off on holiday on 17th. [emoji849]

 

[big nuts]

Just say yes and **** it off if we make the final. Regardless of when you say no it’s going to go down badly, so say yes and deal with it, if and when we’re through.

That is bad planning perhaps I say that as I always consult the calendar and fixture list before booking a holiday but the one day to another is no different for us. We are flying out on Sunday after Newcastle and returning in the early hours of Man City at home, no hold ups hopefully.

So are you flying out on 28th April or 5th May?

 

[BensGrandad]

Out on 28th April back on 11th May the only game between the two is Arsenal away which I wouldnt go to anyway and I know a bar where we are staying that shows every Premier game so will watch it there. The same applies if the Chelsea game is fitted in that week.

If my niece or nephew was married on that day I would go to the wedding. End of.

I can watch the match later.

When football comes before your family it's time to stop going.

I booked a crazy trip I’ve wanted to do for years. I leave on Thursday 16th May. It never occured to me that the cup final would be so late. As fate would have it also, I will miss the semi if it’s on the Sunday (or pos spurs at their new stadium).

First time I’ve ever booked a trip over cup final weekend before we’ve gone out. Don’t know what to wish for.

 

[ChazzyBHA]

Heading off to New York for Tyson Fury vs Wilder II, which is set to be the same day as the final. With most things booked already, I would never forgive myself!

Depends on your family.

Depends on your family.

In fairness, I won't argue with that.

Sure the New York Seagulls will all be in a bar somewhere........

I'll be running the Trail Menorca Costa Sud 85k on that day.

I assume it's a 5pm kick off ?

Event starts at 6.30am, I'm expecting to take about 12 hours to finish, so with the time difference I might catch the second half if I'm able to walk to a bar.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Society golfing trip to Harrogate that weekend. Already paid the full amount. Won’t hesitate to cancel if we make the final.

Sorry, this is not a conundrum worth a thread. At the moment, the wedding is much, much more likely than a Wembley appearance. Accept for the wedding, then deal with it if Albion get there.
