Re: Proper Loyalty Test - were you at these?

What about Torquay away night game milk cup 1983. Finished 0-0

Me and my mate went down on the train at about 9 in the morning and missed the kick off.

Re: Proper Loyalty Test - were you at these?

So, someone answering none or only a few is less loyal than someone attending them all, is that it?

Yes. In the spirit of magazine quizes, I'll break it down for you:

Score of 0 = Armchair red wanker
1-3 - Glory Hunter
4-6 - Part-timer
7-9 - Proper Blue
10 - Colin the King

So how many for you then?

Re: Proper Loyalty Test - were you at these?

Bit odd this.

If you didn't know whether we'd win or lose beforehand how can this be a test of loyalty.

^Hey yeah that is a fair point...
Better measure would be to see how many switched to another club AFTER those defeats.

Re: Proper Loyalty Test - were you at these?

Any glory hunter can attend a promotion decider or cup final. The true test of loyalty is whether you were there when things went tits up. So I've compiled ten of our recent(ish) away games which have become iconic for the wrong reasons. Can anyone get close to 10/10?

Shrewsbury 0-2 1979
Halifax 0-1 1980
Brighton 1-4 1982
Derby 0-6 1989
United 0-5 1994
Liverpool 0-6 1995
Lincoln 1-4 97
Darlington 1-1 1998
York 2-2 - 1998
Boro 1-8 - 2008

Na only been supporting City since 2008

That means you were a rag when you first joined BM!

Apparently so.....

Total bollocks.

I'm a Blue, went to some weird games in the 90's as a kid and we were battered.
Can't even remember who we were playing against.
Doesn't matter, what matters is atleast you go to games.

Dick measuring contests. joke

I agree, complete bollocks

If you knew about the Luton game beforehand and still went along and experienced the pain then yeah, I'm with you.

The loyalty comes from having sat through all those gut-churning games and still come back for more.

I actually thought about ten games with really tiny away support but couldn't come up with them.

My thread. My rules.

Yes that does make you loyal, but no more loyal than anyone else who couldn't make those games
