Yesterday being 'Ladies Day' at the FES, and as a slight diversion from post-match analysis, and Depechemode's unwelcome and pointless ramblings,I thought it might not be out of place to put on record my small tribute to the many 'Lady' Fans who support our team week in and week out!.
This was stimulated by my coming accross an old friend of mine in the Sports Bar before yesterday's game. In spite of the bitter wind and driving drizzle, and some failing in her health,she had nevertheless with the support of a walking aid, made the effort to get to the FES and to lend her voice to the other 800 (?) of us who got behind the Reds. She was hoping to watch the Match from the comfort of a lounge seat, and i believe that this courtesy was afforded to her.
When considering this later, it was evident to me that this really was the perfect example of what a 'True' Fan is !...and being a bit of a gentleman
felt that I had to say this somewhere. So why not our Forum?.

I hope that this thread might stimulate others to cast off their chauvinistic
mantles, and remember others of the fair sex without whom our great Club,
would be a poorer place !..

My friend will, health permitting, be at the FES on Wednesday evening.
I can bet on that!. There will be no ruminating about yesterday's result,
no critiscism of the Team or the Manager, just wholehearted support!!
' HERE'S TO THE LADIES'

( Incidentally, it's not true that the first prize in 'The Ladies Raffle' was an
opportunity to meet Ricky Kirby and take place in a Crossbar Challenge!)

'WHAT ME WORRY?' 'ON STANLEY.....ON!!'
