Blackburn away. Can’t remember why I couldn’t go, but I watched it in the now defunct Terry Neill sports bar in High Holborn in London. Missed the Goat’s equaliser as well cos I went for a wizz. Came back upstairs to find the bar, which was full of Blues, bouncing!
In direct contrast to “Chris in London” I also missed the Huddersfield game, but in my case it was because I went back home to Exeter for the weekend from university oop North. I think it was the only home game I missed all season as well!
Also missed the crucial Everton away game in the 2014 run in, cos Mrs Exeter had booked me a “surprise” trip to Venice for my 50th. I fell on my sword well and truly that weekend, cos as well as having to give my ticket away, I heroically sacrificed watching it on TV out there as well, cos I knew I’d be in a vile mood if we lost, and it would spoil the weekend. Turned the phone back on later that evening in St Mark’s Square and did a one man happy dance as the texts dropped in!
I was there at Terry Neill's Sports Bar that day; used to go and watch City a few times there. Great day - pub was full of City and singing for an hour after the game - covered in champagne. Left to go home and stopped for another hour on that piazza thing outside where there we loads of Blues - great day..............hoarse the next day.............
