Alloa, mini Baroness and Curfew (And me)

[BaronC]

Possibly the only English fan of Alloa Athletic (That would be me) the newest mini fan proudly wearing her Alloa shirt. And the cat.

The pic always amuses me

Link doesn't work for me Andy ; tried 15 mins ago & again just now. Might be a problem @ my end . . . . . . . . . . . hope not 'cause I'd like to see the photo. ??

The e.mail is in the ether...

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

Great ; cheers Andy. XX

[cat3 in reply to cat3]

What a lovely, happy picture. And there's a hint of artistic colour co-ordination with Hollie's kit and the more muted tones of Curfew's coat ??

All in all it's just a brilliant, natural family photo ; made me smile too. xx

Lovely lovely pic

I have some friends that live there, couldn't belive it when I saw the name Alloa, never thought any English person knew it was a town, hahaha

Big thumbs up

[BaronC in reply to RachyBoo]

Good old Alloa! Been a fan for over twenty years!

[RachyBoo in reply to BaronC]

How come?

[BaronC]

A friend was at Stirling Uni and lived in Alloa while there. I visited and took in a game while I was there, later buying an away shirt to proudly wear.

Five years later after writing to the club I visited again. Midway through the first half, while standing behind the goal watching the game. A man tapped on my shoulder and said,

'Andy?'

'Yes,' I replied, puzzled, what with being 300 miles from home.

'Hello, I'm the chairman, lovely to meet you.'

Somewhat shocked I asked him how he knew it was me. Pointing at my shirt, he said,

'That's the only one of them we've sold,' and laughed heartily.

He then introduced me to the players after the game and gave me the grand our of the ground. I've been a fan ever since and still fondly remember that day
