To not want DP to go to football on my weekend off

I work full time in retail. I'm a supervisor for a high end fashion brand and my shifts fall so that I work 3 weekdays and both weekend days. Every so often I make sure I can get a weekend off as DP works Monday - Friday.
I'm 15 weeks pregnant with our first baby (not sure how relevant that is but don't want to drip feed later on)
He has a season ticket for his favourite football team and has followed them all his life.
I've got a rare weekend off next weekend but DP is telling me he's going to the football match and I can either stay at home or go with him. I don't really want to spend £20 on something I don't enjoy and I'm a bit annoyed as we never get weekends together, just evenings and at the minute I'm so knackered I'm asleep for 9 anyway. My commute also means I don't get home till 6.30 pm most evenings.
AIBU not to want him to go next weekend?

YABU, if he has followed them all his life then you presumably knew he went to all home matches?!

DH went to a cup final 2 days after I gave birth, only think I was upset about is that they all went without me!!!

Is it just a home match so therefore a couple of hours in the afternoon on one day?!

Okay so maybe I am being a bit precious and unreasonable it's just I spend my 2 days off a week on my own at home and he gets to go to football every weekend. I didn't see the problem missing one match so we could spend the day together and go out somewhere since its very rare that we get to spend time together like that. Yes he can go when the baby's here, why wouldn't he be able to? but I'd like to think if the baby was born on a Friday he wouldn't be out at the football the next day.

But you have to remember 'it is not life or death, it is more important than that' Wink

Football that is . . .

But you don't have to stay at home? And he's said you could go with him

Why do you spend all your days off on your own at home? Haven't you got any hobbies or interests?

If the match is on a Saturday why can't you go out together on the Sunday?

does he go to every away game too?
