To all those romantics....

[shrimperian]

We are scheduled to play Brentford away on Tuesday 14th February 2006. If like me you have a Wife who expects a special evening on that date, a beer and a sandwich at Griffin park is unlikely to suffice. do you think that Brentford will switch the game to the Wednesday...or am I being a hopeless romantic?

I can't imagine anything more romantic than a beer and sarnie at Griffin park on what is sure to be a cold damp evening and a 3-0 loss.

Already broken this news to my better half, luckilly she works in Brentford so i can meet her after work for a quick pint before the game.  And seeing as i have never met her from work before the evening will be special.

Happy Valentines Darling i am taking you for a night out in London & you don't have to drive.

Babe we are getting a coach to Brentford to watch Southend United, if you don't like it you'll be spending Valentines on your own.

Oh which one should i use

 

[Olisadavey]

if they dont understand, split up with them. i find the best way to do this is to come home and say "darling, i have just had the most wonderful news. i won the lottery. quickly! pack your bags!"
with a bit of luck, she'll say "oh wow, where are we going? shall i pack for the mountains or the beach?"
to which you say "i don't care, just get the **** out!"

yes its stolen but it works awfully well. mind you, if she chooses not to go to the footy you have to ask yourself if youre right together

That is pretty shocking!!

Then again, you clearly have managed to sneakily keep that particular ace hidden well til now so fair play!

O the joys of being single!

It'll be my wedding anniversary on valentines day, do you reckon the missus will fancy a romantic cuddle and cold sausage roll in Griffen Park?

Just do what I do - turn the bint into an Orient (in my case

) season ticket holder

That must have taken some serious persuasion!

 

[Firestorm]

My wife has became a season ticket holder about a year after I met her, but I still think Brentford away on Valentines day might be pushing it.

But If I took the day off and took her out in town before popping over to the match in the evening it might swing it....

Hint hint Gary - there's some lovely restaurants in nearby Chiswick. It's a compromise that might just work!

Controversially... I'm going to write to Brentford and ask them to switch it to the Wednesday.

That's the trouble with women today. Want, want, want.

Women have to know where they are in the pecking order but it's all your own fault for not laying down the rules from day one.

I don't suppose she'd compromise on a romantic ruby in Southall after the game ?

So true

Already told my girlfriend i wont be about that night, she's fine with it

 

[Guest]

She said she will meet one of her other fella's that night instead Littleman.

Only kidding

Doubt I'll get to it, shame was one of the biggies I was looking forward to.
Along with Blackpool away, was gonna stay up there for the weekend but she won't let me away for new year.

They just don't understand
