Very well written and very moving, I think the older we get the more time we have to reflect back on and probably loose some of our stubbornness. Great picture of the game and background. UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

It's on the money. He's landed on a topic we can all agree on. Set aside our petty differences, at the end of the day we all want the best for our club, our town, our family.

It's really interesting how football is quite central to that — makes you consider how important it is to have a football club at all. Some communities have lost theirs entirely, or are having to rebuild from the bottom and are finding it tough.

We all want Town to succeed, but having a squad that's trying, and pulling in the right direction, with only good people (and no time-wasting, ex-convicts, last-payday charlatans) involved.

It doesn't make defeats easier to take, but next time Town don't show up, or fail to work the keeper, I'll try and remember the bigger picture.

The boy done good. There’s one hell an autobiography waiting to happen there, one day.

Great read and shows that having a tough start can forge the character to succeed - the very opposite of the victim mentality that many unfortunately get dragged down by forever.

The lines about an unknown father, brave in itself to reveal, give the glimpse of what is at the heart of being a football fan and a part of a different family.

The previous fella may have been able to sell fish but he struggled to communicate the emotion of being GTFC like this, even if he may have felt it too.

Yes, an excellent and perceptive article.  You may get divorced but you do not change your football club.  

I have been married for 41 football seasons. Although I reckon the 6 or 7 seasons spent in Non-League should be discounted!

Great Article and down to earth just as the man is I lost my mum last year and although she had dementia she always asked how’s town doing
A lot of us oldies on here can relate to what he is saying
although not in monetary or achievement terms we are all the same in terms of loving our club and town and are proud of both
I am away on holiday but will be back for the Crawley game
I will be listening in on Saturday dinner time mid afternoon here and will be paceing up and down willing town on  All Town aren’t we
