Ah ok. Not much difference in price to a uk pint then. Ill raise the hammarby idea but I suspect other plans will be made for me on the Saturday 😂 Thank you

My swedish contact at djurgarden came through! Tickets officially transferred to me yesterday through the clubs app. Fair play to him. He didnt have to help me but he did. Flying out tomorrow for the derby game v aik on sunday. Cant wait. Just taking out a loan to buy my contact some beers pre match 😂 And to think.....i could have been at city v Southampton 😂

Nail. Head.

My first job at 16. I worked with some older lads who i wanted to "get in with" being young and impressionable. One of them said to me, can you drive? For some reason i said yeah, course, even though i had never been behind the wheel ever. Good he said, do us a favour and move my car away from the entrance before we open. F*#k knows why but in my head i thought this would be easy. I had a vague idea of what i was supposed to do. The reality was a sh*t load of revving and the car shooting forward through the boundary wall and ending up in the neighbours garden. Ill never forget an old lady at the bus stop opposite who had seen the whole thing just shaking her head for the longest time. Luckily for me my boss eventually saw the funny side even though it cost him a bomb to rebuild the wall. He actually blamed the lad who told me to move the car!🤣

Ah ok. Yes of course. I do remember him saying that......and of course the rain. A lot of these old games and seasons merge into one for me now

Blast from the past . Coming back to me now. Zenith data cup in the rain was it?

If you aren't wayne rooney undercover, then perhaps we should compare tinder matches. Your post sums my inbox up 😂

One that lived up to the billing for once . Weren't 4 rounds in it for me. Wouldn't have argued with a draw . Fair play though they gave it all. Boxing when its that's raw is unmatchable as a spectacle

I relate to this. My elder cousin took me to my first game. Very early 90s v wolves. Toward the end he said come on we better go. I said, very excited "why is it gonna kick off".......no he said, i want to beat the traffic 😂 I dont condone violence and i take my daughter to matches these days so i wouldn't want her caught up in anything but there is some truth in the fact that part of the attraction and excitement for a young lad in those days was the possibility of trouble .

I had a similar thought

Listen i dont know why mummy makes me wear a scarf in april Or.....more sadly...... The crowds dispersed as the owner carried the corpse of leicester city, not wanting to watch as he laid it down.

That really is the top and bottom of it. Its the reality. "Do they increase our matchday income and cause minimum fuss and not ask awkward questions?" "no?" "f*#k them then" Its not just us either. I think if you ask anyone who has attended games at any club in the top two divisions for more than 15 to 20 years they will tell you the game is almost unrecognisable both on and off the pitch. That said, well done to the trust, ufs, osvaldo and anyone else who is trying to make a difference. I fear it is in vain the way the game has gone/is going but as they say "if nothing changes, nothing changes "

We haven't had much to laugh about this season granted. But we all know the problems and likely most of us have had our rant/ moan about them at some point. Remember we do this supporter thing because we (supposedly) love/enjoy it. This thread has made me smile and its a welcome relief from the sh*t

Behave!

The cup game against QPR. Havent looked like scoring for the vast majority of the season and the day we score 6 we couldn't see 3 of them 😂

Thank you. I did suspect that tourist areas would be fine. The media does tend to scare monger at times. Its good to hear that from someone who has been. Ive been many dodgy places when i was younger and got out of any potential scrapes. Its a bit different when you have your child with you, so thank you.

Sounds like you had a great time. Im off to stockholm in 2 weeks for djurgarden v AIK and 3 days in the city. Its me and my 15 year old daughter going and your last paragraph got my attention. Sweden gets some bad press these days for violence and gang related stuff. My thoughts are that its probably overblown and because historically sweden has always been so safe and that its probably restricted to some of the suburbs between themselves. I suppose my concern is for my daughter as we intend to explore Stockholm too. I cant imagine stockholm being any more dodgy than London or even Birmingham or Manchester. What would you say?

This time around is probably best chance of getting one as a member. Possible high amount of non-renewals, lack of interest from some members after a terrible season. If we do well next season interest will probably grow for season after. But the thing is with matchday prices as they are, i wont and i imagine many more wont, accrue many more points to catch up with some, if they are charging 50 odd quid a game to watch distinctly average teams in the Championship

I wasn't going to go political on a football forum

Im struggling to think of two people id less rather meet.

Yep 👍👍 Get your stats, all of them except goals for and against, get your xg, get your automated b0llox and stick them firmly and roughly up your anal passage. Oh yeah.....and your VAR

For all the hatred of digital tickets (i usually prefer paper myself) on this occasion its handy. Nice weather, last min decision to head down for the night, few hours on the beach, a beer in the sun and watch us get beat!

I shouldn't laugh, i have visitors from the states for the Ipswich game. I've tried to put them off but im gonna have to go

Put that in the mercury for next season.

Football wise.....going to london on my own for the first time for play off final. I had a childs ticket and was smoking at wembley Park station. This absolute c0ck of a copper loved pulling me aside and telling me i could either keep the half fare ticket or keep my fags but not both!! W@nker!! He was properly smug!! Obviously i kept my half fare ticket!! Non football wise....."amusing" myself over Madonna, Whitney houston, kim wilde etc posters in smash hits....or if i was lucky, finding my dads real mags !!😂
