In Australia, games are usually on at 10:45pm followed by 2am.
She is a junior doctor, so she is usually in bed by 9:30pm.
Works really well for me.
 
It's got to the point with my mrs that I don't even bother going anymore, I have to argue the toss to watch us on the internet. Hoping somebody in my family gets me a ticket for my birthday against Norwich, she can't stop me going then. It's so hard for me to go to the match and it shouldn't be I live exactly 5 mins from goodison road. Last game I went to was incidentoy Norwich at home last season.

This is exactly the scenario in which it is socially acceptable to use your kids as 'pawns.'

"Anything you forgot to put on your Xmas list kids ? "

"Yeah Dad there is...... HALF SEASON TICKETS, ALL the other kids are getting them."


Time to wise up to this parenting lark.

This is not right

I'll knock for you on Boxing Day lid
 
I don't live with mine so none, but I know my Dad gets absolutely zero.

He laid down the law early - used to do every single away there was - so my mum just got used to it, and she actually went to most with him. She had a season ticket for about 10 years as well.

Nowadays she can't wait til we get out the house. About 4 hours before kick off she always says 'why don't you go down early for a drink before the match?' which soon becomes 'why haven't you left yet?' and 'get out'.

Be arsed with that.

Why's she this way?
 
Its a 300 mile round trip for me, so I'm away for the night out on the lash and she does not mind unless its a family party or wedding.

I've not had a season ticket for this season and last though, I threw my dummy out and said I would boycott the game till the current board went ( Had a season ticket for nearly 20 years ) but went to my first game is ages last month. Going to get a season ticket next year, but I have to pay for the wife to have a Spa day as part of the deal. I'm happy with that.
