This really pees me off - i have to work every other w'end so i have to plan my family life around this - this includes missing Town matches etc-just wondered who else has the same dilemma - i suppose i should be grateful i have a job but it really does pee me off!

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

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKiQfBs9loYour name isn't really samg is it, Errol.

In answer to sams question i cop for loads of weekends and it annoys me but then work is what finances my leisure time.That means enjoy your time off when you get it but watching Town for the last 10 years has been hard work and i havent often felt ive had value for money.

Used to work at the Coke Ovens in Scunny in the mid 1970's, and every other weekend was on the rota. Absolutely hated it, especially as the bus didn't get back into Grimsby until about 4pm. There were three buses every day leaving Gy then for the steelworks. After moving north, and working for a local authority I also had to work my share of rostered weekends as well. Used to use TOIL and holidays whenever possible to maintain some semblance of footballing normality. Pride myself though that I never ever took a sickie or the like, ever, during my working life to watch the football.

I don't usually work weekends but I'll be working this Saturday. I own a fresh fish business and I'm attending a garden party in Notts this Saturday in one of my customers gardens to shift a bit of haddock and hopefully hook a few more customers.
