.. and the mother in Law's after me.
I've just heard from my old friend in England that he has failed to get tickets for the City game against Hull next week.
Apparently all 20000 tickets were sold out within 20 minutes ( the rest going to season ticket holders).
I'd even managed to wriggle out of the Mother in Laws' 80th birthday party, which has now caused an awful lot of grief here for absolutely nothing.
It would have been such a good weekend. I haven't seen my friend for 5 years, but when we were kids we always went together to Ashton Gate and didn't miss a home game for the whole time they were in Division one. We also travelled all over the country following them away.
When we were 18 we both moved away but I still always saw them whenever they played in London, during their dive to division 4.
Whenever I go back to England I always go to a game if they are at home.
I'm sure there are far more deserving cases than us who haven't got tickets either, but I am really gutted. The difference between going and not going is huge. It would have been such a great weekend, and a brilliant way to get back in contact with my old friend.Just getting back to London would have been fun (I haven't been for 15 years).
Why do they sell up to 4 tickets per application in these firesales? Surely it just means thousands of them end up on Ebay or with the touts? 2 would be so much fairer.
I can't afford to pay over the odds for the ticket, not with the travelling on top.
So it looks like I'll be drinking coffee and eating cake with about 50 other people who haven't got a clue about the significance of this game? I going to have a job even trying to hear it on the radio.
I'm not expecting any real sympathy or solutions here. I'm just letting my frustration out, after getting my hopes up and making all my plans.
