The only thing affected for me so far is beer time at the earlier kick offs, post-match are a must for those.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There's no way I'm going to a pub at 10am, not for anyone. Post-match only on those.

 

[Boozad]

Me neither. I don't mind a couple at 12:00 for the Burnley game but fuck it for the City game.

BOO!!!

Not even the 1.30 game?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Depends on the state of the trains on a Sunday (they mess about with that timetable a lot, it's Arriva Trains Wales who run it rather than West Midlands Railway). I'd say probably not, I'm not breaking my neck to have one pint when I've got hours afterwards.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Seeing as by the time I get to Wolverhampton for those games (esp the City one) then I will have been up for half a day my food & drink clock is going to be well out of sync - so anything goes really

Thank you for pointing out that it's on a Sunday!! - this I may struggle with as trains don't start that early down here (& having had a quick look at options there are so many changes that I might never get there)

My ticket may be available for the Burnley game then - usual arrangements will apply & a pm to me will elucidate. Anyone interested needs to bear in mind that mine is an OAP discounted seat so if you are not of the right age you will need to accept liability if anyone checks at any point

Post match not really my bag, at least no more than only one. Pre-match absolutely essential so I will be somewhere from as early as I can on each match I am attending.

 

[Kenny]

at least no more than only one. .

Your one after the games lasted a while last season...

PLF sounds like you could really do with teleportation being invented mate.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Each to their own and all that, but for the City game in particular that isn't too difficult a choice (if it's either/or):

Pre-match: Get there at 10am or whatever. Do this in the full knowledge that you're in a pub at 10am. Hardly anyone you know will be there, if anyone at all. Some of the better pubs aren't even open at that time so there's a chance you'll end up some absolute hovel like the Moon.

Post-match: Back in town for what, 2.45 or so? Watch the scores come in while everyone is there, have a good laugh and a chat about the game. Leave whenever you want.

For 3pms then pre-match is probably better, but we only have two of them scheduled now until the end of October. For 5.30s then pre-match is definitely the best option, by definition.

As long as it rearranges the molecules in the right order that would be useful!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I will go to the Western Pre Match on those early ones. It will be open and I love the joint.

 

[Tredman]

Double booked myself on the 25th and Im supposed to be on an all dayer for my mates 40th. This might work out quite well and I'll turn up at 3.30 when everyone is already well on the way, no chance of me lasting all day any other way.

I know you do mate. It's still 10am in a pub on your own.

Ah, you do whatever you want to do.

 

[Pablowolf]

I'll have a couple before the 13:30 game but not the 12@30

I go in there on my own every day so not a big concern.

It's not the "in a pub on your own" that's the problem! (Although in a straight choice, "on your own" or "with your mates" seems a pretty clear call). It's the "10am" bit.

I'm not going to tell you what to do FFS, enjoy it if that's what you want to do.

This is going to need some research now re travel!!

1st one will need an overnight stay as no trains late enough to get me back & don't fancy a three & a half or four hour partially in the dark drive afterwards

1.30 KO should be doable by train, but the 12.30 one will be tight - at least if I drive then it will still be in daylight.

(as for driving licences gets worse as you age - when my current one expires I am on 3 yearly renewals!0

Earliest possible on a Saturday gets in at 10.48 I think. Time for a pint or two.

Sunday is tighter, first available train gets in at 12.15!!!
