Saturday games are completely different, we treat the ground as the Betty Ford Clinic, keeps us off the ale for a few hours!
I've missed a lot this season. I will renew my season ticket again though. But yeah, evening KOs aren't great if you've got mobility problems even if you live close like I do. Combine that with sh*t weather and the trash football and I've found myself just not bothering so much since January. But, there's the social side, and it DOES force me out of the house...even if it is guilt that finally motivates me!

But football's not cheap. The social side is not cheap. We're all different types of supporters and our style of support changes as we get older. There's no one-size-fits-all. Away matches need Schakelton-style planning these days for me and Mrs. C! If we get it wrong, we're stuck somewhere like St Andrews for a year until the rescue boat turns up.
