I fully understand your dilemma mate because I work in retail and it is awkward.

Tips - get a good understanding with your boss and ask to finish early on match days !
          Book key match days in advance as holiday/lieu time
          Plan matches around your rota if you can influence it !
          Swap shifts where possible and pay back the favours

I tend to get to lots of games a season but unfortunately miss some games - Best regards Mike

I'm an assistant manager on a pig unit (please don't regard me as a thick t*at like most people do when you mention pigs) but like ourselves would you want to be awaken at 3 in the morning with food so you could get away earlier?

i know how you feel, i always get imposed with weekends, shutdowns especially but most of the time they are optional, but you can't help but feel you're burning bridges if you don't work them, it does suck


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

Chuck a load of food down and get to the match, they'll soon find it when they start to forage.  Feeding the pigs early for the odd day a week won't do them any harm.

I've heard that a pigs teeth can cut through bone like a knife through butter.
