Meet Town's travelling army
           
           


  THEY say you can judge the dedication, or perhaps slight insanity, of a football fan by the lengths to which they go to follow their team.

Get a life.
4,40+ virgins there

Yeah, because going on holiday with three mates for a couple of weeks without the missus would be a fucking nightmare wouldn't it.

Be honest, you are just jealous really ;)


Although that said they don't look the type that are going to be out on the piss & generally living it up   (  :no:   wasted opportunity)

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Two with no colours. One with old stylee logo polo shirt and one with old rep shirt two seasons old. :doh: :doh:

At nearly £50 a pop for a shirt, I think I know where they spent their money instead...

Which one was SONN?

Army is a bit of an exaggeration surely . . . . unless they mean Dads Army?

 ;D

Last season's was £38.00 and this seasons £45.00. A generic polo shirt from last season was in the low £30's ffs. Seriously, I can't fault their enthusiasm but their dress style is rather poor.

I may have this wrong but the article says it took them 8 hours to get to lake Garda. Bullshit, surely?

I know 2 of them, leave them alone, they're decent fellas.

Would love to be there too

I can think of worse way to spend a couple of weeks holiday.

My last 2 weeks for example.

Gok Wan, is that you?

Thief.

No better than Richard Madley.

Yeah, cos wearing a current replica shirt is the mark of the uber fan, isn't it?

Not always.

I am 51 so thanks  :clap:

You judge every holiday on how much you can drink then?
But just to let you know as it seems an important,yes we have been on the piss every night,i have had a life time of living it up!

Well the day before we travelled to watch our team,the new shirts were still not on sale,therefore making it a bit difficult to wear the up to date shirt.
You have to wear colours to games then?
Very rarely have i worn colours and when i was following the team in the 70's the last thing you wanted to do was wear colours!

Cheers John - Skip :pint:

He meant the other 2.He thinks you are a cunt.

Fair play to you guys, I know where I'd rather be...

which makes you 40 plus.

Have to be honest Lake Garda is slightly better than Coate Water!
There was 8 Town fans there,no idea who the other 3 were.
Might have to change that to one more fan as the other 3 were not wearing colours!

Last day in Garda today before heading north to Molveno tomorrow,luckily the new venue for the game is only 3 miles away.
Know of at least two more going to this game.
It really is a great place,visited Venice yesterday,numerous boat trips around the lake and the temparture is currently 34 degrees,Molveno the temparture drops to the same as Swindon with thunderstorms forecast.

No Chalkie has known me for 30 plus years,true he still thinks i am cunt.

When is our game against ze Germans?

Wednesday in Andalo, KO 17:30

Thanks

Are you Alex the Aardvark's mate? If so, I used to meet you lot when there were about six us at away games on Friday nights in Halifax etc in 1982/83. I can't take much credit, as I only travelled from Manchester, but to travel 300 miles to watch us get beat from an open terrace in driving sleet took some dedication.

Both statements are factually correct.

Yeah that is me Red Frog,if i remember correctly you were in uni up there and as you said we used to meet up quite a lot.
It all used to be fun though didn't it!
Lost all my and piled on the weight since then!
