I could avoid altogether but the wife has the tickets. She'll have to get out of Mickleover but is geographically challenged on her own. I said to her, go to Hilton, join the A50 Eastbound then up the A514 into town. She said "I don't know that way" You would think, after 2.5 years, she would have a handle on these things? Maybe i'm expecting too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfambo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 My boy stuck at a school footy match in sinfin. They've been waiting for 2 hours for the bus up to now to take them back to his school for their bags and so on. We'll grab him from there and try and get there but cant see it happening at the minute given we would still be 30 odd minutes from the ground. Changed all my work schedule today to be local for this one as well. Left the house at 3.00am to be back mid afternoon. Bloody typical on the day we all desperately want to get behind them. Had the boy in tears. Life ain't easy as a ram these days thats for sure but sincere thoughts and best wishes to anyone with loved ones involved in the carnage. It's only a game for us.

Ramfambo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Made it after missing first few minutes. Sang ourselves hoarse. Clapped until our hands hurt. Didnt want to leave at the end. Great support and what an effort by evetyone associated with the club. Proud rams tonight.

Carl Sagan Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: How much of an impact did the traffic issues have? Do we deserve a club if so few go in our hour of need? I didn't go but I don't own a car and can't get back to London after a midweek game. But I feel guilty. Will more come if these battling performances continue? Yet the crowd, when reduced to these numbers as in times gone by, is at their most supportive of the team. As gates swell, it often mutes them, and the moaners return. Is it better right now to have the hard core players and fans in it together? Us against the world.
