That is brilliant. I love how we lost 2-0 but Macca's enthusiasm wasn't dimmed one bit. I also wonder if he knows my pal Steve, who also supports Wolves (where he is from originally) and County- a similar age I think- goes home and away with his son Jake- a lovely bloke.

Other thoughts: Great to see a mention for the famous Lancs AKA Dosser Jacket in this one- one of the first County fans I talked to also and very much welcomed me into the fray! And I agree with Macca- and with John K Bilsbury by the way- that the 'stamping on a Burnley fan' song should have seen its end a long time ago. Embarrassing to hear that from the young ones up there who otherwise and generally I think do an admirable job of keeping the noise and encouragement going.

I said to Macca I’d love to be a fly on the wall on that train to Bradford in 1974!

It’s why I love doing The Scarf so much, we’ve got such a broad fanbase, each with an interesting tale to tell.
