This weekend

[RedJ]

I'm taking a friend of mine to her first game this weekend (may sign up for a ST if she likes it) - reckon the atmosphere will be any good (for our standards I mean) and think we'll do well? I don't want it to leave a bad impression, as she's not a convinced fan just yet.

Taking her to the football infront of 10,000 people isn't the right way to get into her knickers mate. Try the cinema, preferably for a half decent film, but make sure there aren't many people there - particularly on the back row.

If you do the football, especially this weekend, she'll be scarred for life by some mental southerner who rings a bell for ninety minutes!

piss off

Jesus H Christ I've heard stories about them suverners, but never seen anything like that! I almost dropped the computer laughing

If it's her first game, wait until the match has finished, then whoevers won, tell her that was the Rovers, then she's bound to want to buy a ST, you could always fix her with your loving gaze and explain the offside rule, you never know she might end up being a linesman!

You're all presuming that Redj is a bloke!

[DonnyRTID]

I've met that bloke from Pompey and he's actually really nice and runs his own book shop beleive it or not.

Tell her all about the ups and downs, the struggles and the good times and bad..

Tell her all about the days at Belle vue...

Tell her how there is a deep core of true fans who would walk over hot coals to see Rovers no matter where we stand in the league..

Then take her to feel the ghosts at Belle Vue... By the time she actually gets to the game she will be hooked...

 It worked for the fella anyway....


Once you are hooked it's a life long love affair..

That sounds like a truly magical day, JB. If I ever hope to get a future \"interest\" hooked on football, especially Donny, that's the route I'll take. I remember my very first Donny game, and Christ alive was I hooked.
