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...

About 1979 I went to work one summer for an uncle in Ireland. My two little cousins started singing at me "there are two e's in Wallace" to my bewilderment. Then the penny dropped that they'd been told that I constantly sang that there was only one Ian Wallace.

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...

Good of you to admit that a lot of your posts are irrelevant. Fair play! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but acting as if there's some sort of veto is plain dumb.

I have some bad news for all the sanctimonious fuckwits on here umming and aahing about whether they are prepared to back a bid or not. There won't be a referendum! What you think or don't think amounts to jack shit. Joy will sell, or she won't irrespective of your reservations. I can imagine...

If anyone wants to know what Nick looks like, wait until a chorus of 'stand up if you hate SISU' starts tomorrow. Nick will be the one sat on his hands.

SISU's new consultancy role - giving customer relations advice to United Airlines

You couldn't make it up! A few weeks ago we seemed at rock bottom, a clueless manager, a shit team and the sense that hardly any season ticket holders would renew. Then in came Robins, Wembley, three wins in the league. Great atmosphere Saturday and decent performance. I started to consider...

Everyone must remember that this is CCFC's decision and nothing at all to do with SISU. The two are totally separate.

Before we went to Northampton Tim Fisher called me out of the blue after I said in a questionnaire that I wouldn't go there. Fair play to him, he spoke to me for about 45 minutes. I said that I wasn't someone to demand blind reckless financial speculation a la Leeds (and us) but that an...

I've been going since 1969 and that was some of the loudest and most prolonged vocal support I've ever heard despite the crowd being half or a third what it once was. Posh fans and players expecting a flat home atmosphere must have wondered what hit them. Got in and immediately grassed up by...

Great crack on the coach, driver turning a blind eye to the consumption of beer, wine and cider. Driver taking the piss by passing about half a mile of stationary traffic and cutting in then cutting about three red lights in a row. Atmosphere in Green Man so good I could feel my beer glass...
