That's dedication, Ormy - well done, and let's hope it does have some inspirational effect! As someone with one of the shortest trips for once (only about three hours from Glasgow), I had no excuse!!
Bloody brilliant Ormiston. I hope those who haven't got the faith to go will now re-consider their decision - you know who you are!!. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!
We need to lobby Radio Five Live and Barclaycard to make Ormiston fan of the month (if not the season).
From what I heard on the radio yesterday their current shortlist ludicrously seems to comprise:
A Bolton fan who's been following the team for 30 years - so what?
A Man U fan who couldn't afford flight/ hotel so got an overnight coach to Barcelona to the CL final and back - 8 years ago!
A Spurs fan (I think) who lives in Leicester (I think) and manages to attend matches - shock, horror!
[cite]Posted By: paulbaconsarnie[/cite]don't know ifthisis any different. it's an 'international world service' fan of the month. or something like that.
Thanks,too, PBS, might be worth a try as well! I was just so horrified by the lack of quality of the April nominees that I thought we could try and hijack it. The prize is better too - £250 to spend in the Club shop, not just a replica shirt...
There I was going to add my name to list that's going to Ewood and suddenly I feel slightly embarrased that it's taken me this long to book my ticket/flight - Ormiston Addick = Legend!
Well done Ormiston, I know how you feel, sometimes you just feel totally compelled to get and see them, however difficult and expensive it is. I hope the players realise how much this means to us.
I choose Sheff Utd over Blackburn, came back from Chicago for weekend. Wish I was going this Saturday too.

Still not sure if I should go, given my recent record on Away days.
he should partner d.bent upfront, (then be handed over to the men in white coats);-)

I agree with Alex Wright - we are not worthy.
I've only got half your distance to travel but it ain't gonna happen, I'm afraid.
I feel almost ashamed!
If it inspires anyone on here who lives a lot closer to home to change their mind and make the trip, then you have provided a service.
I heard about a good party i'm going to miss on Saturday, and thought twice about jacking it in, but there will always be other parties.
Shame its not a home game as it would be easier to meet and say hello.

He hasn't been on here for a couple of days so I guess he's on his way.
