New signings being introduced on the pitch before a game or at half time.

Bonus points if they're holding up a scarf.

Super bonus points for doing a few keepy ups.

Goalkeepers wearing hats when the sun is blinding them (watching Ben Wilson holding his hand up to shield his eyes in games used to annoy me - put a fecking cap on son, problem solved), Was convinced he'd end up conceding as a result of losing sight of the flight of the ball.

Didn’t Moore wear a cap last season?

There was the Sky Blue Belles, and there was another group called Venom or something? They used our away colours. I vividly remember them in the green/black for some reason.

They’ll all be 40 now. If they reformed they’d be the Sky Blue Bellies!
