    1, How long have you been watching us ? Went to my first match August 1998, but only started going regularly around 2007
    2, How many seasons have you really enjoyed what you've seen on the pitch ? 0 :( Can do without the home games tbh, much prefer away games
    3, have you ever seen us look a solid unit defensively ? For a whole season? Nope
    4, do you prefer football now or when you first started watching ? When I first started going regularly around 07/08, some of our football/players were class. Just couldn't defend for **** under Davey.
    5, will you be introducing your off spring to the delights of supporting BFC ? ( or have you already?)Yep

    1, How long have you been watching us ? Since around 1978, but regularly (Season ticket) since 1981 so around 37 years - blimey.
    2, How many seasons have you really enjoyed what you've seen on the pitch ? The Norman Hunter season was utterly brilliant. The promotion to the Prem was. Plus a few memorable ones on the way.
    3, have you ever seen us look a solid unit defensively ? Yes, McCarthy & Evans in particular
    4, do you prefer football now or when you first started watching ? Before. That first season as a ST holder was unbelievable - taking 16 -17,000 fans to Anfield!
    5, will you be introducing your off spring to the delights of supporting BFC ? ( or have you already?) Both are ST holders. One has got the bug, the other comes when she has her arm twisted. Funnily enough, my 15 year old has been coming 7 or 8 years now, and she always says her favourite season was the Jason/ Marlon season, because the fans were so behind the team. (and that includes the Wembley season)

    Some of my favourite times as a reds fan were when Mel was in charge. Rose coloured 14 year old specs.....

    35 years
    Only a kid but loved 80-83, 88-89, 94-00, 05-06 and the early part of Robins term.
    Great defences of McCarthy/Evans, May/Futcher, Tiler/Taggart/Smith probably the meanest, Taggart/Davis/Fleming, Davis/De Zeeuw.
    Loved 80s football. Other than BFC, have little time forbthe game apart ftom my lads u-14 team.
    My son, now 14, been a regular since 05/06. Season ticket from 06/07. His first home game was the Uriah Rennie refereed game v Doncaster at home - Lost 2-0 and had Kay and Austin sent off. Hooked ever since.

    1, How long have you been watching us ? -
    43 Years

    2, How many seasons have you really enjoyed what you've seen on the pitch ?

    All of em, just not the entire season in every case, and in many not the majority. I had a few seasons of sabbatical when my lad played Ice Hockey. A period of great sporting success, just not for BFC.

    3, have you ever seen us look a solid unit defensively ?

    Yes, loads of season. I have even seen the likes of Evans/McCarthy let some goals in.

    4, do you prefer football now or when you first started watching ?

    Now

    5, will you be introducing your off spring to the delights of supporting BFC ? ( or have you already?) -

    I have already, now a season ticket holder and the source of my increase in away games last few years. Even worse I have introduced him to the BBS virtues too (make your own assumptions).
