    Re: 35th year???

    August 66, about six weeks after England lifted World Cup...Aged 11, preparing for "big school" and full of optimism...Attending t'Well soon knocked that out of me.

    I am, but I'm doing it myself. Falling on my own scissors, as it were.

    76-77 season was my first, but I don't remember a great deal until the promotion season of 78-79.

    Re: 52 years for me

    36 years for me too, although I suppose you have to knock a couple of years off that from the time when we were back down in the alehouse league, as I had my hands over my eyes during most games.

    Apparently I was as young as 3 when my dad first started taking me to games. I remember the terraces vaguely before the redevelopment of the ponty end. That would have been 1992 I think. I've had a season ticket since we were in the premier league and this season is the first year I won't have one, because work commitments come first im afraid.

    1988 was my first year, but I remember little until 1990 or so of the games themselves. So this will be season 26 for me. Season ticket from 1994 until 2012 - work to blame, as usual.
    Other than 97-98 I can't recall a happier mood among fans.

    34th season since my first game. Missed a lot before 2000 through playing footy though. Been to most home games since then.
