and the team win /lose /draw
on saturday i prolly could have gotten to the game at a push but took the peaceful option of not desserting the family and stayed at home sorting out fireworks and chuffing around with the kids
i find defeats easier to take when i'm there (wibble) so part of me was glad i hadn't gone and part of me was gutted as well (crackers)
reading people on the millwall thread saying you'll be gutted if you don't go and we win , is that really true i mean if you're not there would you rather we didn't win ... surely not
i remember years ago missing newcastle away and thinking good decision when we were 3 down and then we went on to win 3-4 courtesy of mr pardews last minute winner i was well pleased but there was a tinge of i wish i could have been there , so i suppose that is what people mean
foook me that was boring , how do people write those long winded articles out

Someone is just mearly stating they would be gutted to miss the victory not that they would want us to lose if they are not there
Glad I didn't go Saturday, but going tomorrow, and will surely regret it by 10pm!
Only exception I can think of is I didn't actually want us to win at Carlisle last year, as I was away on a stag and didn't want to miss out on being there when we clinched promotion, and clearly as that was inevitable by that point anyway I just wanted it to be delayed for a week. I was still buzzing that night though.
Though I think that comes from years of going to away defeats more than anything else.
It's character building.
I wonder how many people wish they had got themselves up to Carlisle last season after whining about how tough a game it was going to be and how long the journey was.
Very strange feeling walking up Harvey Gardens while the match was on.
Made every effort to get to a game I could (some might say should) easily have ducked as I was the best part of 200 miles away with my baby grandson.
However we drove home, arriving in the small hours of Saturday morning, and I went to the match with the lucky charm who has now become the unlucky charm for two consecutive home matches!
I probably subconsciously knew that by making an effort to get there I was putting the mockers on a decent result!
Sorry about that!
on balance, a decision i haven't regretted. listened to the 'morts in the snow' match on a walkman, wandering the streets as couldn't face being with people after getting the early lead.
If i am not at the game, like on Saturday when i had a wedding, i find it very very easy to brush off. Which may explain when in defeat, if you look at the post-match threads why the ex-pats are normally a lot more calm and measured than those at the game.
I shouldn't admit this but I felt pretty low after promotion at Carlisle last season. Like an earlier poster I had bought a Preston ticket thinking we'd win promotion there or the week before at Wycombe. We were inevitably going up so I was gutted it happened at a game I didn't attend.
