Pin the fixtures list up on the fridge and highlight most of them.

Avoids the usual for fucksake you din't say you were going and also try not to book away games that coincide with wedding anniversarys like i have for this weekend.

We better fucking win now.

As above really...make sure the fixtures you intend to go to are firmly booked in your wife's diary!!

In all seriousness though, married life is fantastic - and its a whole extra family you can try and convince to become town fans if they aren't already!  Cool

 Lay down the ground rules early doors, that's if you haven't already....namely some things are non negotiable eg I will go to football, unless it's the most the most important of occasions...

 eg weddings and funerals on her side....friends don't count.

 I will go to the pub at least a couple of nights a week....in order to talk about football, cricket, music etc.

 I will wear the clothes I like and have the hair length I like....even if you don't...

 Some things are just best done by women....eg sewing, changing duvets etc....however I'll pay for bog and bath cleaning.

.If we have a new fitted kitchen or bathroom etc.....it will last for more than 2 years.

 If we have a girl.....the name wont end in ee like Kylie, Amy, Lucy

 If we have a boy....he wont be called Kai....

 Old mates are important to men....even if they throw up on the new carpet....

 I only lasted 20 years mind, so probably not the best advice giver.

Make sure She is a Town fan before you get married.

So if She isn't already, you had better get your arse in gear. Wink

Seriously, it's just a case of give & take.  You give, and She (you can guess the rest).

Genius Reg, genius. I can't think of a married friend, or even an unmarried friend, that has rules even remotely close to those. I think most of my mates' rule books consist of a few simple rules.

1. I will do as I'm told

2. You are always right.
- In the event I believe you are wrong,  I will immediately realise, mainly due to rule 1, that I was mistaken or had misheard.

3. I will always attend inane functions, mainly of friends not seen for years, to make small talk and get bored. If I do happen to find a mutually bored man to have a few beers with, I will be recalled to ensure I can join you in awkward laughter over vague memories, with someone you knew once.

4. When I have made plans to go out at some point in the future, it will be my poor memory that will mean I end up cancelling with my friends and we end up attending one of your joyous aforementioned functions at seemingly short notice.
- I am fully aware of all functions, as I have been reminded countless times. It's not your fault I'm forgetful.

Don't get married during the season, thereby avoiding the inevitable "But you can't go to Walsall, it's our anniveeerssaaaaaryyyyyyyy (sob, heaving shoulders)" contretemps of future years. Oh and resign yourself to the idea that ironing board covers do apparently combust/implode entirely of their own volition and not due to any form of user negligence, oh no.

hopefully you will have carried out some of these
1. Season ticket in place for the next 5 years
2 Skysports installed(the way to sell this is to highlight how many cooking and diy channels there are)
3 only carryout diy during the close season also cooking
4 your mates are not trying to keep you out every night
5 your mates are fun
6 any children you have you take them off her hands every other saturday wen the lads are at home wait until they are about 6 for an away game
7 do not get married during the season!!!!! if you are going away ensure it is a country which will have live games in the seedy bar with cheap drinks
