    She's never been committed yet

    But it's just a matter of time.

    You'll certainly never meet a more passionate supporter.

    No I can't say I know of a better fan than Mr. Burnley

    similarly, I'm sure that there aren't many as f*cked in the head either.</p>

    RE: Warks.

    Haven't missed a game for 3 seasons but not in that category I'm afraid! What about "J"? I thought she said she hadn't missed a game for something like 9 seasons. I wonder if she will keep it up now that she has a child - I think. Saw her at Hull.

    RE: Warks.

    We missed Saturday. Bugger. Hopefully we'll be up to doing Norwich. Typical that there's 2 long distance ones are at the start of the season!

    She's not quite in this guy's league though, hadn't missed a game for 7 or 8 years before little un.

    I reckon there's a few Barnsley fans that will top 7 years? Some even do most reserve games.

    And there's Jane and Karen who always sit/stand at the front. I'm pretty sure they go to all the games.

    Not sure we can match the Burnley lad but ....

    ... I've been going home and away since 1978, not every match but don't usually miss more than 3 or 4 a season (Plymouth away on a Tuesday night is a tester this season!). Did every match in the 96/97 promotion season and most of our crew are much the same, and have been regulars home and away since the mid to late '70's. Would be rich nar if I'd not bothered!!
