[Albion] Does Albion have any super fans?

[sjamesb3466]

I used to drink in the Stadium pub before home games, and Gus was often in there (and when I played for the darts team there). I bumped into him in a great little pub in Preston before the game there last year and he was telling me about his matches longevity - pretty sure he told me that the bloke to his right (in the sunglasses) hadn't missed a game for even longer. I was pretty impressed I must say.

I spotted him in halfman halfbiscuit's photo shoot from Boro. Gus in his other habitat...

That's my dad on the right. Met Gus last weekend in Stoke at the Rugby Club and was chatting to him about my own home brew set up. Came across as a very nice chap.

Gus Nunnerly

Yes, I see him many times I go, I always feel like bleaching his scarf. Has my vote a uber fan.

Last time I spoke to Graham he told me he was working his way through the grounds in the Nottinghamshire Senior League.

Doc was/is a legend.
Bumped into him once in a Brighton pub on a non matchday, we were having a natter and he had come over to pick up a book he had ordered.
Lo and behold he produced this beauty from his plastic bag.



The bag is truly legendary, i wonder what else is in there.

That top scarf looks like its down some serious miles

I'm sure I've seen this face before, I'm far from a super fan but tend to gravitate towards the more obscure away games.

I know the author, had that book from day one! (anorak or what?)

My guess would be a newspaper and a long forgotten can of McEwans both left over from a trip to somewhere like Port Vale in the 90s.

So that's Gus - I remember him selling us half time lottery tickets at the Goldstone when I was in single figures age.

I think he used to sell the Wager tickets at Withdean too

None of these people photographed were the guy I spoke to by the way , so we do have more than one superdooper fan by the looks of it , I wonder how much money these chaps have spent over the years , I estimate the last 7 years equall the previous 30 odd in £s spent , but when you love something this much , money is a afterthought .

Came across a book recently written by a Leeds Superfan that hadn't missed a single game since 1968

Don't believe him.

 

[RM-Taylor]

I'm sure Mike still goes to every game doesn't he? Can't remember what his username is on here.

 

[Grombleton]

There was a guy with dark hair and glasses wasn't there? Graham? He must be in his sixties now.

Apart from the 60's bit, that describes me.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Don't believe him.

It’s certainly more difficult these days as prices of football, train tickets etc have become so expensive. I remember browsing a football programme shop in Sheffield late 80s and the owner telling me he hadn’t missed a Sheffield Utd game since 1958 !

 

[Scoffers]

That "Dugouts" magazine should be featured as the guest publication on Have I Got News For You

It's not just the cost, it's the huge length of time and the allowance for illness, and transport problems through a sometimes snow blocked country.

If someone is sad enough - sorry, super enough to go to all games, then when missing one after several years there'd be a massive temptation for them to over look the missed game. I call BS.

Fair enough, I would love to go to every Albion game but all the factors you mention + real life make that nigh on impossible !

Roche?

Hey! Has anyone seen Mike Roche?!

 

[Triggaaar]

Indeed. Going to every game for a 5 to 10 year period would be very impressive. 40 odd years? Nah.

Genius. Reminds me of Steve Coogan's finest hour (13:35 onwards):
