As the board is oh soooo quite at the moment, I thought it may need livening up..

How long have you all been watching the mighty Pilgrims?

I have been going for 28 years, I believe my first game was Kettering at home... then I was hooked.

[Old Pilgrim]

My first game was 1946! Been a supporter (plus Leeds United, who I can just remember seeing play Everton in a War League game in 1944) ever since!

[Devon Pilgrim]

Such players as Dusty Miller, Jeff Snade, Andy Graver. the Hazeldene brothers etc. are among my early memories as a young fan, when gates were around 4-5000 a game in the old Midland League, and our main competition was from Peterborough!

[doc]

first game i remember was Wembley 1985 aged 7.

that is true- the golf ball incident

At the Alty semi?

Absolutely!!!

I was behind that goal, it was chaos with Coppers helmets flying like confetti and kids being ejected left right and centre.......I saw at least half a dozen carried/dragged down the old tunnel!!

Happy days......

I was too young to remember but I do remember some blokes scrapping on the pitch in the corner...... I think thats what I saw anyway. Am I right?

Probably......... I remember one kid grew about 8" stood on a coppers helmet while the Old Bill were looking all over for it! I remember Bob Lee's winner being stood in the corner of Spayne Lane, just about the maddest goal celebration I've ever been involved in, and I count Sheffield Derbies in that as well as a Cup Final.

Loads of action and nawtiness all over that day......not quite as bad as the Sheff Utd game but close.

The town's finest came out to play!

Happy days, and days we'll never see again the way society and football have gone.

[Crazy Neil]

First game aged 6,now aged 51.... I didn't miss a home game for 30 years and then missed midweek game v Scarborough as I was in hospital....

[Wembley 85]

Can't remember the game, but spent it swinging from the crush barriers behind the goal at the York Street end aged 3 or 4, and I remember being given 2p by my Dad to go to buy a bag of Smiths Twists, a crisp like concoction from the early 70's.

It was about that time I started .    Some early players I remember include Charlie Croft, Jimmy Ithel and Freddie Kurz.
