Not only have we got the ugliest fans in the league, we also have the loneliest...
I didnt realise we had so many 'Billy No Mates'

Usually not, but it depends if I get a lift or not!
I always meet people at games so it doesn't really matter.

I always meet people at games so it doesn't really matter. I think that's the point. Because you arrive on your own doesn't mean you don't interact with anyone else. There's always someone nearby to moan with when we're losing or hug when we score. Even if you're not a ST holder, if you sit in the same area every match you soon start noticing the same faces. You're never alone in a crowd. |

I used to go on my own all the time. Had a season ticket and everything. It's strangely enjoyable in a weird way, particularly at away games with decent followings because you get to mix with so many different people.

usually go on my own,see people i know and talk to people i dont, its a good way to get away from everyday life and do something different. i have season ticket in the ssu and talk to the ones around me before and during the game,its never lonely.
it is my match experience and thats the way i like it.

Football for me is all about the clothes, the lads, the banter, the booze

Always gone with Dad, since he went with his Dad and OUFC is essentially part of me now. Dad had this rule - never bring me till I'm 7, and only for Boxing Day. Then he asked me to go if I wanted to - to games when I was 9. Probably have missed 10 league home games since. Not that any of that means anything to you lot. But I find its all part of my match-day experience. For me its 1. The Game 2. The Banter 3. The Support 4. The Day as a whole |

Usually travel in on my own or with my 8 year old, have a chat with a few folk I know only through OUFc and some I know anyway.
As I'm driving I only have a single pint in the Priory cos I dont wanna risk it, which means TVP probably think I'm a boring old fart as they leave me alone - usually.

I always go to matches on my own, not so many now, being 71. Usually go in the North stand. Would welcome company from anyone in the Chesterfield area to share journey and fuel costs.
