I was once ready to leave the house to go to a match at Headingley when my wife reminded me that the carpet fitters were arriving at 9am the next morning and that she had been nagging me all week to nail down a couple of loose floorboards before the carpet went down.

Went and got my hammer and a handful of nails, did both boards, was just knocking one final "one more for good luck" nail into the floor when I heard a hissing noise.

Yes, nail through central heating pipe time.

So what would you have done - gone to the match or fixed the pipe, when I lifted the floorboard there was a new water feature in our bedroom with a fountain at least three feet high icon_lol.gif

In 2003 when Bradford played Saints I had to work til 7.30 and it was an 8.00 KO

Managed to get changed at work, and set off from Steeton to Odsal, drove at some illegal speeds all the way to Bradford, parked at the bottom of Manchester Road, and sprinted up the hill to Odsal Stadium, went to my normal turnstyle, shut, had to run round to the late entry one, got in the ground about 30 seconds after Kick Off,

Then watched Robbie break his arm and Saints muller us 35-0

Yeah

He was terrible.

So in true form we sold him to a Pommie superleague side for big bucks where he turned out to be one of their best players icon_lol.gif

2006 harlequins v hull fc, left hull at 9am to get to stoop for 3pm kick off, travelling in car, all going well, stopped off at watford gap around midday for break, giving us plenty of time to get to twickenham, rejoined m1 and 500 yards on there was a accident meaning we didn't move for nearly 2 hours!, managed to arrive at the stoop just as the half time hooter went!

The only time I've ever been late for a game was Leeds in the play off final eliminator 2007. Bad traffic on the M62 meant we only arrived at 8.20, twenty mins after kick off.

My maites was going to be late for a Cas versus Wire game at the old Wire ground so they phoned Wire club shop claiming to be Eddie Ashton the Cas chairman asking if they could delay the kick off but it did not work. even though the wire shop beleived they was the chairman they would delay it because of the police and was very sorry for not delaying it.

We were once late, or it was just about KO, when we arrived at the old Wire ground v Cas. I pulled up to the car park at the ground & for a joke said 'Mike Gregory, Warrington Rugby League'. The old bloke on the gate said 'Alright mate, come in' & let us through.

I had to do a Friday job down in Trowbridge. Set off late and underestimated how long the journey would be. Normally i would mind missing a match but it was Leeds vs Saints on the 4th of september to decide who finished top. Got off site at 5ish and drove like a bat out of hell.

Got to the ground just before second half was about to kick off and was refused entry at the cricket ground side, so had to go down near the club shop. Let straight in only to find someone sitting in my seat. Luckily there was an empty seat behind them, so i didn't have to kick up a fuss.

Where is that user that travelled down to a Harlequins game, missed the whole match and decided to drive around London instead before returning home? Believe it was a Bradford supporter icon_lol.gif
