Going to Barnsley this Sat?

I wanted to go but cant as ;

1) No-one who will travel over 3 hours to see Swindon play - being female doesn't help & most men I know would rather support Arsenal and Chelsea even though they don't ever go and watch them

2) Already spend 40 a week on petrol driving to work so thats out of question.

Just wanted to know if there is going to be many listening to Radio Swindon this sat and feeling sorry for themselves missing the action like me!!!

May have to be a day out at Walkabout watching Soccer sat all afternoon!!!

I'm not going!

We have a walkabout in Edinburgh, it has about a million tv screens!

I'll be chewing my nails watching Jeff Stelling/watching townend.com! :-))(

Ours has lots of TV's too.  I love watching Gilette all afternoon if I cant get to a game.  

Hopefully i wont be doing that as much this season because will be going to more!  Just hard nowadays to find people who are willing to pay and go and like I said, most girls do NOT want to go!!!  I have managed to convert a few fans of other teams though so gives me more options this season!!!

 I'm sure there are a few regulars on this site....who would be glad to accompany a lady to football.

 Sign up here boys.

Just drive.....its the opening day.....every one should make the effort and as Reg said. I'm sure plenty of the lads would be glad to accompany a lady to football

Sign up here!!! I wasn't advertising!!!

Just saying lads have a general interest more so than women so its easier for them to find people to go!  Home games are normally ok to get to because people don't have to travel but away is the problem.

Whits did offer before actually but I think that was the game his car (I think it was his? Got done in)

He did say he would have sat but it would mean sitting in between Spacey and Yeovil (no disrespect) and I thought not a good idea for their comfort reasons of course!!

cant afford to drive and also cantread a map and drive at the same time!!!

When i move house in Sept closer to work will be easier to drive as wont use petrol in the week but at the moment a 6 hour round trip is just not affordable.  I always normally make the effort but this is proving difficult!

 I thought Yeovil was built for comfort.

I can't honestly say I know.  I think Whits was joking more than anything as he did mention he has a 3 door which I imagine means smallish car!!

Im not going because of:

a)I finish work at 5:30am.

b)My mate wants to go by Train which is going to see us basically live on a Train all day Saturday.

c)I want some sleep.

d)I went to last seasons first game Away to Wrexham and we were fooking awful.

Typical woman then! Wahey!!

i'm not going as i have a mates 21st on Saturday night.
Going out in a Limo at 4:30 so i'm gonna miss final score :evil:

I miss final score :cry:

We have Sportcene results service which is presented by Dougie Donnelly!! (I presume you folks in Engerland know who this is? :roll: )

im not as i can't get to the cg to get the coach.  :(  also im playing cricket instead.

Yes as we get BBC Scotland on Sky.

And do u have any reason to watch it?  :roll:

Whenever i was down i used to watch the highlights of the Scottish National side. :mrgreen:

hey, I'm going as well! although I'm sat in the front cos I'm coolest.

I think a townend minibus might be required for some games this season. Can anyone drive one?

p.s. Spuddy, Yeovil finishes work at 6am and he's still coming.

Yes but my mates want to go by Train and im not forking out for that and i need at least 2 hours sleep before going.

you can sleep when you're dead

i'm going and i'm going to buy sonic a pint

is yeovil coming cool we can have a wrestle

Can i?, thanks. I dont want to get a Train to Barnsley though cos i'll only get Train Rage. :evil:

Poor STFCLady :cry:

I'll go on a diet.

No need I'm sure!  We def need minibus driver though would be right laugh! Tried talking my mate whos a Man U fan to drive me but he has to work!!!!  The funniest thing is that he would have as well!!!  Idiot!!!

I'm not going but thats simply 'cos I hate Barnsley! Its a long drive to a fairly impressive ground yet like City has no atmosphere at all. The away end is huge and everyone spreads about making it near impossible to get a good sing-song going! Got there about 1pm last season and the local stewards/plod made us go into a local leisure centre complex for a beer.  It was dire and so was the beer. Been there twice now and its just one of those places that is un-inspiring as a whole. Barnsley really is a ****hole and I will give it a miss this season. The next away game I think I will test the Sat-Nav in my new car! :mrgreen:

 So on Sat for me it will be Radio Swindon with Sky Sports on with the sound off!
Have a great day to all that are going!

I am being driven up there so i can have beers en route.  8)

Good shout.... 8)

Depends on the dimensions of your passengers!!! :D
