2023/24 on 08:11 - May 11 with 1430 views | Bucklebury_blue | My best mate got married on the day of the 1978 Cup Final. I was gutted I was going to miss the biggest day in our history, then a couple of weeks before, his mum apologised and explained that I couldn’t be invited to the wedding as they were too many guests already and she hoped I’d understand. I had to pretend to be disappointed but not to the point where she relented. I got to the final. |  | |  |

Reading that, my theory is that your mate realised how much the FA Cup Final would mean to you and got his Mum to diplomatically release you from your obligation to him. I reckon enough time has passed that you could ask him! |  | |  |

Thank you for this, i was already fully aware of when the season starts as per my post. I cant see a paragraph in your linked story indicating if the club can request an away game first |  | |  |

Thanks Arnold, that never occurred to me. I will ask him |  | |  |
