.....
Turns out she has them annoying fans in her family who have season tickets but never go anyway,
Good news for me though!
Uhmmm, yeah, you're probably gonna' hate me now .....
My seasonie has been 'out on loan' for the past 5 or 6 years.
Still in my name (had it since '87 and couldn't bare to lose that connection with the club); but it works for me from a multitude of standpoints. Started when I got totally disillusioned under Rafa and his teadius *** style of football. Sat there bored to tears most weeks thinking 'what the **** am I doing here when there's no excitement?' It was like going the match every week just because it's what I'd always done. So with that, and that other troubling thing called life, and getting older and commitments changing; I dropped out and started picking and choosing games. Luckily, I'm that well connected through different avenues made over the years I can invariably get a ticket for any match I want to go to. Plus the lad who has the benefit of my S/T right now only goes the homes, so we still have the use for all the aways within our group and it's fully stocked up on credits continuously. Just saves me shelling out the £725 by mid May I think it was this year which is ridiculous and a real bind. (Although there is the payment option now so at least that makes it easier.). I'm more away's and Europe and the home games that take my fancy at present. Like I say, I'm fortunate that I do know a lot of different people I can turn to for tickets who look after me and vice versa but I hear you on how impossibly tough it is without those connections. People just don't appreciate how hard it is to follow a major club from all standpoints.
Made up for you guys dropping on those tickets for those games. Won't be there on Saturday (my next is Utd), but I certainly will at Goodison. You shouldn't have a problem in among them, but suss the lads around you first. The derby has become more and more ugly (particularly there) the more and more bitter they've gotten as we are all they really have to look forward to now. So just have your wits about yer. Least with the half 1 kickoff nobody will of been hammering the ale.
And yeah, she sounds a total 'keeper.'
