Missed my first home game last Monday in 8 seasons (Exeter) due to being at work in the US.

Guess what I am now stuck here.........Was sponsoring the game tomorrow and have had to pass on my seat.

Missing my family like crazy and missing you all. The thought at 3pm tomorrow is going to hurt.

Please cheer for me tomorrow........

Flights are crazy here. The earliest one I could re-book this Morning was to Paris next Tuesday and into London 11.00am Wednesday. If it continues could even miss next weeks Wycombe game.

Iceland..........Now what decent things have ever come out of the place........apart from Tiger Prawns at £2.99 a bag.

Take care everyone and 3 points would at least help me smile.

Mex and Paul D - See you soon I hope.

My dad is also stuck in the US. Has to fly from Miami, to Philadelphia, then Phily to Paris, then eurostar from Paris to London. Then London to cambridge.

Going to be travelling for about 30 odd hours.

Wow you poor thing xx

Well Duke I will miss you going past me up the steps.   When you go by it is a bit like knowing all your mates are here even though you don't all know each other.

We will give the boys a cheer to victory for you.

How long does a boat take back across the Atlantic (in time for Wycombe?)

it could be worse, you could be unemployed and unable to afford tickets :)

Bugger. Was just discussing this with the missus and wondering whether you'd be able to get back. Guess not then. Gizza bell when you get back mush

My friend is stuck in Dubai and someone this morning there who had a cancelled flight was given a return date of the 12th May!

excuses excuses, just plain lazy.

Magic carpets are even more badly affected than jet aircraft by volcano smoke

 :D

Still, all that said, after their banks collapsing and all, nice to see Iceland actually exporting stuff again :)

America's a fucking big place home boy, whereabouts are you??

Chicago at present but have been working in Milwaukee.

Say hello to the Fonz for me :)

My cousin is stuck in Barcelona - he's over the
moon.

Aren't there flights into Scotland from the US starting tomorrow

Yeah, the Duke's looking into it, but they're from the coasts (JFK, LAX, SFO) not Chicago and even if they were from Chicago he's not going to make it back for the game

Continental fly from NY to Glasgae and Edinburgh, he must be able to get an internal from Chicago.

Ah, the Windy Apple...oh wait...that was Capital City in The Simpsons ::)

Chicago...a fine sporting city if ever there was one. At the moment you've got baseball, basketball (play offs) and ice hocky (play offs) No, I know nothing could possibly replace the Theatre of Dreams that is the County Ground but you might as well make the best of a bad job. This weekend you have a choice of the following fixtures:

Basketball:
The Bulls are out of town unfortunately, they are playing Cleveland in the NBA play offs.

Baseball:
The White Sox are out of town, however, you have the following options available:
17th April Chicago Cubs v Houston Astros  (played at the famous Wrigley Field - very nice, historical ball park)
18th April as above

Ice Hockey:
16th April Chicago Black Hawks v Nashville Predators (play offs - tickets could be expensive)
18th April as above

I just checked for tonight and there are still tickets available..cheapest one will set you back 181 yankee dollars and 54 cents. Ouch! Check out a sports bar would be my advice. Are you 'in town' or stuck out at the airport?

Go to the scalper just before face off and try your luck, they may have some single tickets they can''t shift. 

If you can't get one then drive 106 from Chicago, fill the car up, buy half a pack of cigarettes and take some sunglasses.

I think the problem is more going to be every other bugger trying to do the same

No go anywhere. A colleague has just been turned away at NY flying into Scotland.

Looks like it will be a match thread tomorrow.

Will be heading off to Chicago Centre tomorrow to enjoy the day.

Even worse the women love you here and I'm married.
 :doh:

what she dont know wont hurt her

I think you will find your marriage licence applies to the UK only, not the USA. In the USA, you are legally single ;)

It looks like the weather is pretty nice there, I suggest you get yourself down to Wrigley Field and watch the Cubs v Astros and have a few beers. Game starts at 12.05pm your time. That actually sounds pretty damned good to me right now 8)

Cheers OST - How ironic that Mr Coy now has my Corporate seat for the day !!

Just tried to see NY options but all booked and advised to stay put. My colleague however got lucky and landed earlier into Scotland.

Will head into Chicago and take in the sights.

COYR's

The duke just managed to get a seat on a direct flight from chicago to heathrow arriving at 7am tomorrow morning! Hooray duke see you at wycombe!!!

Horray!!

You training it out of Marylebone KOT?

not sure, might be getting a lift, what time you going?

oi sutton answer your phone you fag

I have no idea where it is, that's a bit of a worry. Getting the 11.20 out of Marylebone, but i'll probably get there a bit early and have a beer/fry up, otherwise i'll end up cutting the grass or other likewise crap.

11.20!!! you early freak, see you there then
