Personally, disappointed to be at home first as I fly back from hols that day so won't be able to make it.

MS, I thought you were far more comitted than that!!  Bit of a rookie mistake for a man of your experience to be making!!

We were booking two weeks in Florida to come back on the Thursday before the season started then my daughter discovered that if we stayed an extra two days, it worked out cheaper plus we got two extra days on holiday.

Missed two matches last season (Norwich (h) & Brentford (a)) while I was in Vegas so not the end of the world.

Usually go in October & coincide it with an International break so I only miss one match but my daughter can only go July/August.

One year manage to only miss one match (Leeds(h)) but it was on TV anyway - the one where Bothroyd scored and another where the only game I missed was Charlton (a) & that was on TV as well.
