Scow Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 I'm likely to be late for tomorrow's game - what's the latest you've arrived for a home match?
dandannieldanok Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Can't remember ever being late for a first team fixture. I remember being 10 minutes late for a FNF fixture at Filbert Street and missing the only goal.
Matt Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 I'm likely to be late for tomorrow's game - what's the latest you've arrived for a home match? Erm probably 2.55ish at home, not really sure. No, actually Forest away this season, We got there about 3.05pm, because the Police were slow escorting us from the pub to the ground and we missed KO. I don't mind the odd person, on the odd occasion, but it does piss me off when the same people are always late, coming in at the same time most week at about 3.05pm, end up blocking your view while they stand on the steps dithering about looking for their seat, bearing in mind the people that do it around me on a whole are season ticket holders and sit in their seats every couple of weeks, yet they still have to look/check their season ticket book as to where they sit.
Koke Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 I came late for the Chelsea cup game few years ago at Stamford Bridge, and I missed McAuley's goal.
Guest Bilo Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 I regularly miss the kick-off but never more than the first couple of minutes. I can honestly say I've never missed a goal or anything or major importance anyway.
Daggers Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 While you were all enjoying the 4-0 thumping of Posh, I sat in Sainsburys petrol forecourt waiting for the recovery truck. I seem to remember me and Nick being stuck in the bar for some match this season and missing almost all of the game. Buggered if I remember which, far too pissed.
Tommeh Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Rolled up at Yeovil away last season 20 minutrs in, that was special. Was also 5 minutes late at Hillsborough due to a tram mix up and missed KO against Bristol City for staying an ambitious length in the pub. Becoming more frequent certainly.
andyh1884 Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Turned up to Wolves for the 4-3 debacle just after Sir Les got his 2nd.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Made five minutes late once by mother Also I've had my car registration number read out over the tannoy at Filbert St telling me that my car alarm was continuously going off and could I go and turn it off... it was parked in Wilberforce St
LCFC-ARAB Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Making the kick off at away games is a rarity for me
Ozwin Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Made five minutes late once by mother Also I've had my car registration number read out over the tannoy at Filbert St telling me that my car alarm was continuously going off and could I go and turn it off... it was parked in Wilberforce St I've always wanted to shout 'THATS MY CAR' like the advert a few years ago when that gets called.
lildave3 Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 For the first home match of the season the other year against Ipswich. Was just coming through the turnstyle as Kisnorbo scored.
jonthefox Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 against reading years ago, i slept in so late, i made it at half time. it was embarrasing asking someone the score .
Fosse Boy Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Making the kick off at away games is a rarity for me I think we're just too pissed the remember the start of the game most of the time. Only begin to sober up about thirty minutes in...
Guest Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Bristol City at home this season. arrived just in time to see their first goal go in after finishing work in London at 5 and legging it up the M1
Guest Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 I missed, I think, the first 9 minutes of the Preston game earlier this season. I was in London during the morning, and it was touch and go whether I could make the earlier train, so had booked the later one knowing I would miss kick off. As it happened, I got to St Pancras with plenty of time. I tried to get my train back to Leicester changed to an earlier one, and despite my Oscar winning performance, the heartless tossers wouldn't go for my sob story of my dying, elderly relative. And yes, I did try it.
Head Honcho Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 When I was about 10 we all used to get down there at half time to get in for nothing...............couldn't afford the 2 bob to get into the east stand
dandannieldanok Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Bristol City at home this season. arrived just in time to see their first goal go in after finishing work in London at 5 and legging it up the M1 Ouch, bet you wish you hadn't bothered, I live just outside Leicester and left home at 7pm and wish I hadn't bothered turning up to that game.
The Doctor Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Couple of minutes at most. Erm probably 2.55ish at home, not really sure. No, actually Forest away this season, We got there about 3.05pm, because the Police were slow escorting us from the pub to the ground and we missed KO. I don't mind the odd person, on the odd occasion, but it does piss me off when the same people are always late, coming in at the same time most week at about 3.05pm, end up blocking your view while they stand on the steps dithering about looking for their seat, bearing in mind the people that do it around me on a whole are season ticket holders and sit in their seats every couple of weeks, yet they still have to look/check their season ticket book as to where they sit. You missed the entire match because of a police escort?
Corky Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Can't recall missing the start of a match before. Will be late for the Reading home match though, probably by 15-20 minutes.
samlcfc Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 bout 35 minutes against plymouth when we lost 2-1 a couple of seasons ago
Guest DavidJCW Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 2:45! I ALWAYS make sure I turn up well before the start of the game and just 15 minutes was quite late for me! Hehe!
Guest Posted 12 March 2010 Posted 12 March 2010 Ouch, bet you wish you hadn't bothered, I live just outside Leicester and left home at 7pm and wish I hadn't bothered turning up to that game. What made it even worse was that I had to be in work again at 4.45 am the next morning
