In a similar boat, I’ll miss the York game due to an annual 4 day bike ride we do that weekend - and my other half’s organised it this year so no chance. Will have headphones in while riding on the Sat. Back for play-offs though. However I’ve negotiated an early return from Easter on the IoW so will be at the Wrexham game where our destination may be all but decided one way or the other.
It’s amazing how wives/partners see it as unreasonable, it’s like them really wanting to see a good film at the cinema and 10 minutes from the end you say “we’re off”.
