9th April, 2005, against Stevenage at home.

I was asked to go by Lindsay Ormerod. I had no ides what to expect. Infact I thought we might be stood on the touch line in the middle of a field!

I was amazed at the atmosphere/the Ultras, and was hooked from that moment. I can't remember if we won or lost, but do remember the fight with which the Reds played, and was impressed with the ferocity, and pace of Evil.

Afterwards we had a great time in the bar, where as well as meeting some of the players, I met Kipax and Henry Morton, who signed me up to the supporter's club straight away.

I've been to every home game since, and a handfull of away games, mainly thanks to my bud Harwood Red, and her Red pick up bus.

Since that date last April, I consider myself a Red's fan for life, and bless the day I first went and received such a warm welcome from the 'Stanley family'.
