I’m undecided Sith. My Wembley/Rams record is appalling…P4 L4. One Anglo-Italian and three play off defeats to Leicester, QPR and Villa doesn’t inspire confidence. 100% fail…and the one I didn’t go to - because I was out of the country - was West Brom when we won!
Don’t suppose for a minute that there’s any rhyme or reason to it but I might choose to not ‘tempt fate’.
On the plus side…by not going you save a lot of money, see a lot more on TV and don’t have to put up with moronic Forest fans hanging flags off bridges over the M1, or idiotically confrontational fans at Wembley tube station…on the other hand there’s no substitute for the real thing and being able to say, ‘I was there’.
Difficult decision…some of my happiest memories of my Dad, who died an accidental death 46 years ago, are of watching various sporting events together and for you the memory will be precious in the years to come…well, it will if we win!
Hopefully you won’t need to decide and Derby will do the job with no need for the playoffs.
