My first game was the 2nd Round FA Cup game against Crewe at Ewood Park so you could call me a glory supporter but I dont care. Despite them getting whacked (well it was 0-0 with 43 mins gone I think then by half time it was 2-0 Crewe so they did very well and even pulled it back to 2-1 in the 2nd half before Crewe just started to take over), I loved the passion on show from Ashley Hoskins, Beck, and all the rest of the lads in Red playing in front of a crowdsize that they could only dream of so I thought Id go check it out again (I was also impressed with the shirt sponsor at the time - thought it was bloody cool to have Hollands Pies on ya belly - especially a belly like mine!!

)

My first game at the IES/Crown was recently after that when Accy played Fleetwood Town. Since then (up until about 2 years ago when I was also exiled southwards and then eventually East-Medwards) I tried to get to as many as possible.

maccawozzagod, I ALSO fondly remember that 5-0 whacking at Christie Park - was a good day out.... Remember laughing very hard when Loweiy, Bubs, Plum and probably yourself along with others started singing We want 6....

I also remember managing to persuade my Dad to take me all the way to Winsford on a midweek night (didnt drive at the time) - was VERY surprised he agreed to that!! And yes TM, I completely agree with your comment about their ground

Fiver on trap 6 please....
