Advice for Saturday please. (1 Viewer)

peteCCFC · May 1, 2025

So, long story short. I got contacted yesterday to be told I've a job interview at Halfords at 1pm on Saturday. Don't get me wrong, I really really want the job, i also don't want to miss the football.
I have a season ticket, but don't want to put it on the exchange incase my dad ends up having a lunatic sat next to him.
Do I go for my dream job, or blank it and go the match?

Call them and rearrange it?

TinPotTaylor · May 1, 2025

^ Ask if they can re-arrange the interview. If they can't, do the interview on Saturday. Football will always be there my mate.

Chicken Mcgraw · May 1, 2025

Football Ofc! You always have your current job back at Greggs to fall back on!

Unfortunately not

Macca1987 · May 1, 2025

Go to the interview and get to the CBS for the second half

Ccfcisparks · May 1, 2025

Hope you've organised how to get there mate. Is the Bike fixed?

Sky Blue Goblin · May 1, 2025

Dream Job Bud. Only one choice, go smash the interview and then watch us reaching the playoffs in highlights.

Could keep the ticket if you get out for the second half?

Nick · May 1, 2025

Job interview all day, got to think of where you want to be in 25 years and what you can tell the kids.

Alex1987 · May 1, 2025

Got to be the interview

Yep, running beautifully. I was gonna go on my bike, or jog, but if its dead sunny I don't want to be sweating in my suit.

Go to the game, jump on your steed and do the interview in half time then whip it back down to the ground on your dream machine and get back to the match.

Ask them to borrow a bike and pedal like fuck to the cbs post interview

Tealeaf · May 1, 2025

Ask them to bring it forward a couple of hours , you must have told them your interests on the application form .
A dream job at Halfords , you must tell after Saturday .

SkyBlueStallion_89 · May 1, 2025

Go to the job interview mate, it's a job you want and earning money to pay the bills and put food on the table is more important, hope you can make it for the second half to watch us get in the playoffs

TheFACTs · May 1, 2025

Multitask...ask for a telephone interview and watch the game from your seat

Could drop a cv as well, just in case Halfords doesn't work out

David O'Day · May 1, 2025

turn up late and tell them it's their fault as the bike they sold you is shite

MTK · May 1, 2025

Could you jump in an Uber to the ground as soon as the interview is over? Make it in time for some of the second half? I’d be happy to cover the Uber fare if that makes it possible.

SkyblueTexan · May 1, 2025

Good luck for the interview. That’s more important.

clint van damme · May 1, 2025

This place

usskyblue · May 1, 2025

Start as you mean to go on..

.. call in sick m8

jto123 · May 1, 2025

Football is very important in my life, however I think the interview is the priority in this case. Ultimately it’ll be Wembley and Semi-Finals after that will be the most memorable if we get there. You can watch the Middlesbrough games on TV in a pub.

That said my Dad did re-arrange his wedding day to attend the 87 cup final. He got divorced in the end, so he actually made the right call it seems

Sbarcher · May 1, 2025

Simple solution. Arrange for the interview to be at 1-15 in the South Stand concourse. Hopefully be nice and quiet.

love the folk who are taking it seriously

@peteCCFC you thought about a career at the ride cycle shop on Lockhurst Lane? Much nearer the ground so you can pop out and watch the game if you are on shift. Just say you are off to the bogs and when you come back 2 hours later advise them to give it a few days before they try and use the loo.

Bassette Deck · May 1, 2025

Is this the same Halfords where you bought the bike for your ride to Derby? Could get a nice staff discount on the next one...

On the application form, under the interests section I just put 'bikes'.

Noble · May 1, 2025

Everyone being so supportive when he's just taking the piss, heartwarming

Ride is long gone mate.
Shame, was a decent shop.

Mild-Mannered Janitor · May 1, 2025

Good luck with the interview, way more important for you, keep the ticket and speed up to the ground for the second half or last 15 minutes, you won’t want to miss that when we’re winning, the celebrations will add to the day.

coop · May 1, 2025

Interview as we will lose anyway.
