Why wasn't he at the game


If he was such a superfan why wasn't he up in Liverpool watching the match? Many of us amde the trip, it wasn't that hard to do.

The game was postponed because of the Hillsborough disaster. In the book Hornby states that by the time it became such a crucial match, it was sold out.

And obviously, they can't have the reunion if he's in Liverpool and she's in North London.

Also they talk about it while watching it in his flat...his mate mentions that he said it wasn't worth going up just to see them lose. Or something like that.
