Can't get time off work? Just go anyway and worry about your job later. Can't afford a ticket? Just borrow some money from somewhere, that's what Wonga are for. Blimey.
To be fair, I once very sneakily cut our holiday in Ibiza short by one day in order to get home and watch Barnsley v Donny. The missus twigged what I'd done and was mightily unamused, especially considering how insanely inconvenient the new flights were. When I got back from the match beyond pissed off that Uriah Rennie had sent two of our players off and we'd lost 2-0, she just laughed. But not in a jovial way. More in a "that serves you right you sly tw@t" way.
Should have claimed on my travel insurance for having the last day of my holiday ruined. Does Uriah Rennie reffing count as a force-major?
