My father supported the club all his life and took me my first match in 1951. Apparently I saw Dooley but cannot remember that. Went to see all the club'steams when we could, Central League, B team fixtures, Northern Intermediate etc.,It became a love affair that has survived the ages. We have never been a really top side since WW2 but we've had our ups and downs. Some excellent seasons, a few ok seasons but a hell of a lot of meh seasons. The frustrating thing as you get older, (into my 70s) is that you have generally a shorter time for the expectations of a modicum of success to be achieved. I would like something good to happen but over recent years we have had a good few wage thieves, and managers who were not worthy of the job. I enjoy the team and individuals when they give 100% effort and commitment and can forgive the odd mistake, we all make them, but over the past few seasons some of these mistakes seem to have become bad habits.
