If you can't afford it, or can't make the re-arranged date, I can understand you staying at home.
However, I really can't understand those fans that are not going because they think we've got no chance.
What happens if we get a premier league team in the FA cup next season, would you stay at home cos you expect us to lose? Imagine if you'd missed the Man Utd game because you stayed at home expecting us to lose.
If the match had still been going ahead last night, I'd have gone, but the person I was supposed to be going with can’t make Saturday. Which means I’d be on my own. I tried to convince The Current Mrs Gers to come, but I’d have had more luck getting her to listen to the entire Fall back catalogue. She’s not a fan of the beautiful game, or indeed the post-punk Manc’ wonders.
So I’d be on my own. Couldn’t sit in my usual place, with mates, as those seats have been sold to someone else. The place will be packed, and the bars will be rammed. Those bars will be staffed with fucking morons who’ve never poured a pint in their entire lives. I wouldn’t be able to have my usual halftime pint with the aforementioned mates because we won’t be able to get served as the service in both Lewington’s, and especially The Cowshed Bar is going to be fucking stupid.
So those that are going on Saturday, more power to you. I’ll be sitting at home watching from the comfort of my sofa, and if I want a drink all I’ll have to do is walk from the lounge to the kitchen. I have a big house, but it’s not that big, so it’s not going to take me all that long, unlike for you.
So you'll be sitting at home on your own watching it instead of on your own in the stadium?
I never drink in the stadium anyway as regardless of how big or small the crowd is, it still takes forever to get served.
