Almost 50 years ago saw me travel to Bournemouth from HMS Flowerdown near Winchester to watch Accrington Stanley for the last time. Sadly the Cherries won the third round of the FA cup 2 – 0 and I came away with my tail between my legs. It was a long journey back to Winchester to face my ship (shore base) mates.

Now that the worst of the winter weather is over I can bridge the 50 years gap by joining the faithful on Sat 1<SUP>st</SUP> and watch the Stanley take one more step to the football league albeit the lowest division.

Weather, health and pension permitting I intend to be a regular.
