Don’t see anyone else giving their age, why do you ask? Identity fraud and all that. (In any case, you’ve already decided I was young!)
I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 25 years. You could have given me a real question e.g. to test whether I knew that we drew 2-2 on Sat 22 Feb 2003 at home to Mansfield, Kevin and Paul netting.
I have followed the dot.org and this board for years and only decided to register on deadline day when that was the only way I could see the posts.
The general reaction to my first post on any messageboard has been very interesting with some people thinking it wasn’t too far off the mark, while two others decided I am a Chel**** fan, for god knows what reason (what a pair!). At least I have a better idea about them when I see their posts.
So interesting experience, why are people so fixated about the poster rather than about the club news? Perhaps I should just go back to following the board, much more straightforward.

You mentioned initiation, and my reply was in jest to see whether you might google it or quickly realise that actually there arn't 30 days in any feb

I'm aware that our club has a limited capacity, and with talk of a new stadium in the future I was wondering how we might atttract new young fans or bring back those who fell away, and I wondered if you might have fallen into either catagory. Nothing more sinister than that.

Last year there was lots of the ''where were you when we were sh17'' song every home game when we were close to capacity, which iritated the hell out of me. What a way to welcome new fans eh? I would have answered ''choosing not to watch sh17 maybe?''

Best case Scenario: star players turn it on, Joey Barton earns England caps ahead of Fat Frank after some amazing performance in the little of the parker alongside Derry, turning LR into a fortress, SWP also returns to the England set-up after scoring 5 goals by Christmas (including a last minute winner at home to Chelski). We pick up 7 home wins, 4 away wins and a total of 9 draws, giving us a total of 42 points (including doubles over Naarwich and Swansea!) and a 14th place finish. DJ Campbell becomes an Rs legend with his 12 league goals, Adel earns most PL assists award, Connolley wins POTY, Paddy Kenny earns official "legend status" after a penalty save at Naarwich in the 88th minute before running upto Holt (the taker) and juggling Holts moobs violently.


Most likely case scenario: adapting to the Prem takes time, we dont always win the games we expect (ie Blackburn at home) yet pick up some unexpected points (ie Spuds away) due to warrior-like performances from a number of players, including Derry & Barton in the middle. We pick up vital draws due to our battling nature, the odd glimmer of brilliance from SWP, Adel and DJ prove the difference between a last day of the season dog fight for survival and confirmed survival with a few games to spare. Decisions/luck not always on our side, fans will moan after certain games but, all in all, a bl00dy good season, we survive with a 5th from bottom finish, with Naarwich, Swansea & Wigan all relegated.

Worst case scenario: Barton puts Adel in intensive care for throwing his toys out the pram and calling him a "right plonker" in French after Joey takes up free kick duties, injuries to key players, PL bring in a new "minimum height requirement" for games and SWP becomes ineligible to play, Mittal gets banged up for 25 years for tax evasion so T&C buy back club and raise ticket prices by 85%, Naarwich humiliate us at LR (with Holt juggling Kennys moobs violently after scoring his hatrick), Adel leaves for PSG for £5mill in Jan (leaving a floater in the home changing room toilets before he goes) and Sir Neil decides he has had enough of the boisterous sport and quits to become a monk in a quiet himalayan village. We finish rock bottom and are relegated by March.

As a pure optimist, this is the most likely scenario! The last bit made me crack up, great post matt
