Re: Reasons why we bother................
reasons why:
real football win lose or draw.
drink
best atmosphere in non-league football
Barbados '95 - the look on the faces of local Bajans when the Red Army (v small army) rolled into town complete with woolly hats and scarves
Radcliffe away - what Jase said
Boston away (the first time) - 40 people in fancy dress, walking down the equivalent of Broadway on a bank holiday weekend in glorious sunshine chanting "oh Accrington". I dont think they had ever seen owt like it and every man woman and child put there shopping down and gawped at us.
Guisley away - the coach rolled up at a small local boozer and 50 people got off. The pub was instantly packed and the old timer behind the bar was run into the ground. You could see the relief on his face when everyone was done at the bar. I kindly pointed out that as it was the last game of the season we had a couple of pub coaches coming as well. Cue the Sydney St Club and Alma coaches pulling up outside. PMSL. Then not getting in the bar after the game because we had sat at the sponsors table before the game, we walked across the adjoining cricket pitch to the nearest pub, cricket match still in progress.
Jon Senior battering two Chorley players.
Moore the Southport keeper - crying after being sent off after Paul Beck had equalised 5 minutes into stoppage time with a blatant diving punch to deny Southport the 3 points needed to secure the title.
****ing behind the scoreboard - at Bradford Park Avenue and banging on the board. Every blow took a chunk out of the worm ridden wood.
T.C. and his one man lap of honour at the final whistle of said game
T.C. not tipping the driver coming home from Marine and subsequently being tipped upside down for every bit of loose change in his pockets. Which back alley TC? (you had to be there trust me)
Diego Mara-Mellors cross-cum-wind-assisted shot at Atherstone
I could go on and on
