Football fan goes viral after 'romantic weekend away' turns out to be away day

The life of a fanatical footballer supporter isn't easy. Following your team religiously, both home and away, can be an expensive hobby financially, as well as testing the patience of loved ones.

Sometimes a little bit of kidology and bending of the truth is required to get partners, wives or husbands to give the nod of approval so you can attend a game. Just ask Joe Taylor. The 25-year-old is an avid Sheffield Wednesday fan and naturally wanted to make sure he could get his request in with his other half for the upcoming long trip down to face Plymouth Argyle.

However, rather than directly ask his partner Georgia Grayson about the prospect of visiting Home Park Joe instead decided to cleverly avoid the subject and instead focus on the prospect of a weekend away in Devon.
