Regarding Sunday's Bolton game, this is quite a poignant match for me. After 30 years and 8 months, and a run of 617 consecutive home league games, stretching back to 21st Feb, 1976 (lost 3-0 to Portsmouth), I'm going to miss the Bolton game due to a weak moment last year when I agreed to a fortnight's holiday in Florida with the family. In October. During the footie season.
During this time, I've never missed a single league game due to holidays, work, illness, weddings, funerals or any other minor event.
I'm truly gutted. What was I thinking of???
