    I saw Charlton lose FA cup 3rd round on 19th Feb 2005 against Leicester the day after my wedding. Now separated!

    I boxed clever and got married the closed season of 2005 - not even any conflict with a World Cup or Euros, let alone Charlton.
  • Derek Hales' wife married my son, we all missed a home game, dunno what Killer was up to.

    This doesn't read well (I was finishing the Christmas whisky last night).

    The registrar at my sons wedding realised there was a large Charlton contingent present and said 'My surname is Hales and my husband Derek used to play for Charlton - you may have heard of him ... funnily enough ...

    It would have to be an away game, not a penny more... :wink:

    I'd have loved to, fortunately I got married on a Friday giving my guests an early start to the weekend and leaving no risk of fixture clashes

    Yep i done that against spurs years ago.
    When Flanagan scored his hatrick.
    Went to the wedding then drove to Charlton missing a sit down meal at the Bromley court hotel.(pissing off girlfriend).
    Then back for pissup in the evening.

    It crossed my mind in October, then decided to settle on mentioning missing it and checking the score in my speech. Was all written and happy with what I was going to say and then it was called off due to international call-ups!
  • My parents got married on the same day we played Millwall back in 1970.

    You will all be shocked to know we lost 2-0

    Thanks for the clarification - I was curious on what you meant !

    When the wedding was being booked I said there is no way we can marry during the football season as I couldn’t miss a Charlton game! So we married in June and divorced 10 years later!
  • Nope, no chance. When the Almighty sees fit to bless our sceptered planet with a being worthy of espousal to me then there isn't a sporting event that could possibly distract me from my nuptial day. Certainly not the pissant stumblings of a half-cocked, mismanaged, fucktard led, third division disintegrating football team, however much longer my relationship with it has been.

    I wish I had gone to Charlton instead of the church. Maybe then I wouldn't have seen all my money get spunked away by some one who after twenty five years managed to destroy everything we had built up over that time in a ridiculously short time frame just because she decided that what we had wasn't really what she wanted.


    oh, hang on perhaps it wouldn't have been that different.
  • Who books a wedding during the football season? Seriously poor planning.

    Slightly adjacent though, the MD of a company I was working for came to work one morning, took an extended lunch @noon to get married and was back in the office by 2. Who says romance is dead?

    Dear o dear, followed match thread during brand new in laws speeches at my daughter's wedding (a glance followed by quick word or two), got caught too... no rehab...

    That’s the day I got married 4pm in Greenwich , score updates coming through on phone before serivice and as soon as I got in car afterwards I got informed of Dion Dublin’s last minute winner , oh such joy .

    We’re still together it’s been a painful journey and I’ll be honest at this moment in time I hate them and would definitely have a trial separation if it wasn’t for the kids .
    As for the wife all good , so far......

    It sounded like he was saying Darek Hayles was his son.

  • Not a chance. Played Blackpool at home on my wedding day. One of the bridesmaids gave me a filthy look just for checking the score.

    Why are so many people here arranging marriages on Saturdays in the football season? There are literally hundreds of other days to choose from.

    Very good point. Tudorbarn Eltham ( the only venue we considered) had a lot more expensive rates throughout the summer, which is probably why we went for one during the season.
    Anything come of it?

  • I sometimes wish I'd gone to an away game, say on the moon or some far flung outpost.
