Well. I travelled 340 miles round trip today.

Paid about £40 in petrol.
£6 for parking.
Paid £38 to get into a football ground
Paid £4 to get a programme.
Paid £6 for snacks. (2 cups of tea and a Hotdog !)
Watched my team get beat 3-0 playing the [i]worst[/i] football i think i've ever seen !
Got delayed coming back because i was pulled over by Police for a 'spot check' near Cambridge and they went through just about every inch of my car......(?)
30 miles from home.....accident so detoured.

Could have spent the day in bed and have it cost me NOTHING !!! 🤬

If you had cable TV you could have had all of that at home and gone to a cleaner bathroom as well

@Picklebobble2 Its your life and you should live it how you want. (In spite of what anyone else says) But you do seem unhappy with the result.

@whowasthatmaskedman I was merely pointing out that on those occasions where you DO make the effort, everything else seems to conspire against you

@Picklebobble2 Better luck next time and I hope your team wins in a thriller😉
Or you could have supported your local team, still seen a live match for, I’m guessing, much less cost and much less travelling time and hassle.

@Discotheque Could be i suppose. I was just kinda hoping for something a little nearer the sea and a lot further south by the time i'd reached this point in life.
@Picklebobble2 move to Walcott ?!

@Discotheque Too many other influences at play. Work; caring for my elderly Mother; Grandkids of my own i like to see now and again....

Yes but.. where's your spirit of adventure.. you didn't know your team would lose, you hoped they wouldn't.. you can't have known and had they won, you would have wanted to be there to see them win...
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
@Picklebobble2 because hope is eternal.. and faith in the team we support is unending..
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@Adaydreambeliever Hope is what'll kill you ! 😖

You had a rotten day.

STOP calling it football. We play football here in the US.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Picklebobble2 I am on your side of this one.. Although to me the US brand of game seems more like Jousting, with the players the size of draught horses and the armour they wear as they charge each other. The ball seems like an afterthought.

@whowasthatmaskedman If simply having more foot contact with the ball is your rational for a name why not call it "headball" since that is used quite a bit.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@worksforme2 Now, you know I am right. You are just being silly. The head and chest or other body parts come into play rarely, simply because the hands cannot be used.

But think of the adventure you would have missed and the stories you'd not have to tell if you'dstayed home.

Carryover from Britain to the US> William and Kate took their children to see a "soccer" game, Ashton Villa vs. Norwich City.
