First Game/Best Memory

[Wobbly Wayne rides again]

I would count my first game as Wealdstone at home as being my first game in the 78/79 season. Had been taken before to games, but that was the first one that me and a bunch of mates decided to go to without a chaperone, and has always stood out as the game that ignited the real interest.

was a regular for 3 or 4 seasons but then only spent a few games each seaon on the terraces between early 80's to late 90's as was either playing myself or on the terraces of a certain London club.

 

But glad to be back as a regular for past 8 years or so.

 

Best games - Forest Home, Villa away, Purfleet home ( Ryman cup final) Bedford away (championship year), Halifax Home (last game survival first season back in the top echelon).

One of my best memories so far in my short time of supporting the Fleet is going to Woking not last season but the season before. It was a Thursday evening I had come straight from work and once I left the station I didn't have a clue where I was going, despite having a map, although that doesn't help when Woking is a place without road names.

 

I had started to walk the wrong way when I found myself in a cul-de-suc and I thought this can't be right so I turned and went the other way. I had just found the correct road that I should be walking down when a red Ford Escort pulled up alongside me. A scouser who I vaguely recognised stuck his head out of the window. Because he saw that I had a Fleet shirt on he asked if I knew where the ground was. I showed him my map and another scouse voice said "as he has a map let him in".

 

I climbed in the back and started to give directions. And before anyone says, as it was someone who could take directions we actually found our way there. Anyway it had turned out that it was Accrington Stanleys Chairman, Manager John Coleman, Assistant Manager and Chief Scout as they were playing Woking the following Saturday and wanted to scout them. They told me they had enquired about Jukebox the previous summer.

 

So can anyone top that, getting a lift to the game from someone famous?

This forum's 'Alan' (Roberts) got a lift to Halifax from Peter Sutcliffe, which accounts for the fact no-one's seen him for years.

Just a bit busy outside working hours bringing along the stars of tomorrow Stu M. !

We brought you Wayne Bridge and are looking at getting several of our current group into the pro game, with Eastleigh being the main outlet around here. Look at the reserves and you may recognise a name !
