I wonder whether anyone at any club can better that?

That’s very impressive! You’ve shown some stamina there!!

I heard Wolfie has been going since he was ten, so that's about 75 years.

Ah, but has he had a ST all that time.
I doubt it because he used to go under the wall at the back of BV.

Disgraceful that. Calls himself a true fan? Someone his height should have climbed over and eased the tunnel traffic caused by all us little uns.

It ought to get to a point where you start getting discounts for consecutive years...or just a free season ticket for life after a certain point. Well done mate, very impressive.

Lol. I'm the other extreme.  I have never once had a season ticket of any sort.

That is very impressive. I started watching in 1958 and hardly anybody had season tickets in those days. It was so cheap you always had the loose change in your pocket to get in.

I’ve had one season ticket in my life- the 1987/88 season. It was enough to put me off forever.

My first season ticket was in 1982 when we briefly moved back to Donny for 18 months. Despite seeing us beat Exeter 6-0 or 6-1 and Reading 7-5 and drawing 4-4 with Brentford,through work I missed the Easter Tuesday victory over the Blades before we were relegated.
Me and me son had season tickets in the Barker and Wigfall stand.
My next season ticket was at the Keepmoat.

My Dad first took me in 1953 when I was 10 years old but no season ticket for me in those days. I decided to get one when we moved to the Keepmoat and have had one ever since in the same seat. I can remember going with my Dad when we were in the second tier up to about 1958 when we had 20,000+at some games when i went out after the game my feet never touched the floor when funnelled thro the narrow exit gate. Happy days.

I well remember the crush coming out of the gate at the race course side of the town end. It was a bit scary to a young lad, it was like being caught in a strong current and as soon as you were through the gate onto the car park it eased.

I got a half season ticket for Christmas 1978, I was chuffed to bits and very proud, just like I will be on Saturday when I sort next season’s out .

It onlt l-o-o-k-s like I could have had a ST that long when in fact I didnt get my first one in the final Seasons at OBV

So probably last 5 Seasons + every one since so nowhere near deebee at all

I do believe I still have them all stacked up in my "Rovers Room" but that wont be a record either

Well done deebee thats a "reet" achievement even if someone does top it

Make sure you do it before 12 noon as they go off sale then at the discounted early bird price.

Bloody ell, thought I was doing well at 13 years a season ticket holder, only another 50 to catch you, I'll be 105 then.

Sterling service to the cause makes my 39 years look a bit feeble by comparison
Title: Re: 63 and counting
Post by: Donnywolf on March 02, 2020, 08:51:39 am
Is that 39 as a STH or watching ?

I reckon deebee has done well with a ST for all those years but reckon he could be outdone in the long service department

Would be good to find out  :scarf:
