“Oi Jono, I’ve got 4 tickets for the West Brom game mate, knobhead let me down after I got the tickets, y’am fancy coming?”
Hell yes, how many and how much?
Two days and £98 later the tickets arrive, West Brom v Liverpool five days before my 41st birthday. My wife pays for an early birthday treat and my boys get to watch their new hero for the first time; the Egyptian King Salah and my Mrs gets to swoon over Jurgy.
My last game was Rubin Kazan, October 2015. Living in Mid-Wales and not part of any supporters group, getting tickets isn’t always easy, it’s always been easier getting midweek European games than weekend league fixtures – usually as my mate lends me his season ticket. My last Premier League game was a 2-1 win over Blackburn in October 2010 – the week the club were saved by NESV. If I remember correctly, Skrtel played at right-back and the legendary Paul Konchesky left-back – whatever happened to him….
This is also my first game watching as an away fan and have a slight nervousness about it as I don’t really know what to expect, I have no idea where we park or what the atmosphere will be like. Luckily Bob is an LFC supporting Brummie, so knows the area well.
