I have a tough choice on october 14th.It's my grandson's 1st birthday,but also Sunderland away.
I've put a poll on Facebook and most seem to non qpr fans and have opted for a poxy birthday party.I'm asking the sensible people on here the same question.Footy or party? |  | | |  |

How many QPR games do you have left in your life?
How many grandkids' birthday parties do you have left in your life?

In years to come when he looks at the pics/video and asks, 'where was grandad?' I hope the ridiculousness of replying, 'at Sunderland away watching the Rangers' doesn't disappoint him or, sway his opinion on what to do when it's your 83rd birthday, which clashes with something as worthless as seeing millionaires chase an orb compared to family moments.
It's obviously important for your kid and partner but if you're in doubt, ask the family of the little boy killed in Barcelona what they think you should do!
Seriously?
That said, get us a program if you go. |  |

I once turned down a weeks free holiday in Austria as it would have meant missing Sheffield Wednesday away, it was the 89/90 season and I went to every game and knew it would probably be my only chance to do a 100% season. |  |

I did a whole season around that time too.It was the year that Clough hit one of the forest fans and we lost 5-2 in the cup.I went back a few weeks later and we lost 4-0 in the league. | | | |

Depends how your family's going to react I guess. If they're chilled go to the football, if they're going to be upset you'll have to go to the party. Political decision because as has been said, 1st birthday parties aren't for the 1 year olds, they're for the adults. |  |

Always bemused by people who would place this club above their own family bizarre stuff.
I can't even come up for a hypothetical for what I'd do if my dad skipped my imaginary son's birthday to go to Sunderland away, because he wouldn't do it.
Have a word mate, presuming this isn't some kind of joke |  | | |

If he's 1, he'll never remember, so just say you were there... |  | | |

You're not going to be there for the child (obviously he won't remember) but your daughter and wife will. Be there for them and do it graciously. The first birthday will probably mean more than later birthdays. She'll be hurt if you're not there.
You'll probably have a great time and win lots of brownie points too. |  | | |

Most of us are wisely saying that obviously he should be at the birthday and I entirely agree. Family is far more important than football. But just for fun, what if it was a one year old's (who won't remember) birthday against a Play-Off Final which you might remember for the rest of your life?

Oh blimey Hadders, that's tougher. I'm not sure I'd go to my own child's birthday party for that.
Hope all going well with the walks. I notice all your reviews are amazing! | | | |

Still enjoying the walks thanks, thinking of doing another one as well now, maybe down one street - possibly Fleet Street. Your lovely review is still one of my favourites, so thanks again for that. Hope you are well. Don't usually bother with cup games these days, but going tonight, cos it's Brentford and cheap. | | | |

They haven't decided their live games for the Saturday yet so I'm hoping they move it to Sunday lunchtime but I can't see that happening.More likely to be 5.15 on Saturday night. | | | |

I live in West London and have 3 Grans in Huddersfield so I get to see Huddersfield away (not this year obviously) Barnsley away, Leeds away, and already this year, Sheffield Wed away. This season my daughter and mother of triplets observed the coincidence of QPRs presence in Yorkshire everytime I visit my Grandchildren !!!
Have the party in Sunderland, make it special, take a VIP box, take lots of photos with any passing VIP footballers and the kid will love you for it when he is older and you would be happy that you did not miss the opportunity. | | | |
