March 1969, six years old. Burnley at home. Main stand. Had been nagging the old man to take me for ages. He'd been going without me and I'd devour the programmes afterwards (not literally!). Never forget the awe inspired by the crowds approaching the ground and inside and that first glimpse...

Should we all boo the players onto the pitch and do wanker gestures at them as they come out this week? Novel approach, save a bit of time and remind them from the start that we will only accept a win for our money.

Are Sunderland fans aware of this? Might send a few of them over the edge.

Sadly my old man has passed on, his last game was the last at Highfield Rd against Derby and at that time he had terminal cancer so that was a tad emotional. Go with my own son and stepson now. My lad was born a few days after we beat Man City 4-3 and the day Portsmouth kicked off so apart from...

I went to my first game in about March 1969, just short of my seventh birthday, having nagged my dad. Burnley at home and we won 4-1. In those days we used to get on a coach laid on from Brinklow to the match. Somehow doubt there's a call for that now. As far as I was concerned Coventry City...

What a roller coaster ride following Cov! At one point last season I didn't want to go any more and wanted my season ticket money refunded. Cup final buzz, Robins, atmosphere at Posh match swayed me towards renewing. SISU making no gestures re season ticket prices and abject surrender at...

Oh you shameless SISU whore you!

Shame we're not at home on Sunday. A few loud choruses of 'we want Boddy out' to welcome him to the club would have been funny.

My old man (RIP) used to bellow embarrassingly all the time. Worst was him shouting abuse about Uriah Rennie when the ref was another black bloke. Took the nipper when he was about 5 and he shouted that the ref was a bald fudge-packer which got me some strange looks, could only conclude he'd...

The roller coaster of season ticket renewal likelihood continues. Couple of months ago no chance. After cup final and Posh at home definitely. No gesture on season tickets slim chance, Rochdale away none, decent win against Walsall and pressure from the lads back to definitely. This...
