A Sheffield Wednesday fan has gone viral recently after he ‘organises a romantic weekend’ that was actually a football away day.
Joe Taylor, 25, told his partner Georgia Grayson, 21, that he had been “thinking we should do a weekend together, me and you”.
Talking about the prank to Yorkshire Post, Joe asked Georgia if she could book the weekend of September 10th off as she “deserved” some time away.
“I’ve booked us a hotel for the weekend, it’s down south by the coast, you will proper enjoy it”, Joe said about the trip – before revealing it was actually to coincide with Sheffield Wednesday’s 3pm match against Plymouth Argyle on the day.
The Twitter post has gone on to get over 30,000 likes in a matter of days, and has since revealed that he was now in “the doghouse”.
Joe did add that the pair, from Chapeltown, Sheffield, are still planning to go to Plymouth – despite her threatening to “dump” him for his behaviour.
“Her reaction was pretty much as showed on the messages, she said she was going to dump me”, Joe joked.
“I am in the absolute doghouse.”
He adds: “Now taking fresh applicants for a weekend trip to Plymouth, all inclusive please message me directly if interested 👍🏻”

British Heart Foundation, Bluebell Wood Hospice, Headway The brain injury association.
“Throughout the year fundraising events have taken place and will be concluding with a coast to coast walk over the month of August from Cleethorpes to Liverpool from the 1st August 2022. Where we hope you can join us in celebrating Pauls life and this collective fundraising achievement.
“So far we have raised £6,800 and hope to raise another £3,000, All proceeds from fundraising events will be totalled up on completion of the Coast to Coast fundraiser and will be split equally between the three charities as mentioned.

@rhysn2007: massive respect 😂😂
@DanLeach1989: I found out the hard way this doesn’t always work out well. Apparently going to Rotherham’s New York Stadium isnt what she wanted when she said she wanted to go to New York over Christmas?
@sam_72taylor: Ahahha fucking brilliant that
@RhysDidATweet: Hahaha! Plymouth is absolutely rotten.
@nate_jn: Well played son 🤝🏻

@RSDhaliwal94: 😂😂😂😂😂 Legend!
@SFCEst1881: I did this once with my Ex. Told her I was taking her for a night out in Leeds for Valentines day, booked a nice hotel & got tonnes of brownie points. She ended up at Farsley Celtic away, we lost, & they went bust so the result was expunged & meant absolutely nothing 😂
@kieranda04: Hope it’s not a hotel in plymouth, you’ll be very disappointed when you get there it’s all a shithole
@alfien019: Taking notes
@Tylerlfc88: Fuck going to Plymouth mate absolute shithole 🤣
@cbrown164_: Big W ✅
@JakobMAndersen: What a lad
@istanbul0505: My mate missus got an answerphone message from the local travel agent saying 2 flight tickets booked for Rome in February 2001. So she though how lovely, but It was for him and me UEFA cup with Liverpool. Won 2-0
@byrninho: That poor bugger, it’s probably the worst part of the coast 😂 although Plymouth Hoe is OK, it’s no resort town. And the city centre is literally an armpit.
@ForeverAYellow: quite literally one of the funniest things ive seen in ages, proper fan banter too, gotta laugh
Nice romantic weekend in the Costwolds coming up in October for me and the wife pic.twitter.com/KY2yg7NN1H
