New to LFW Forum! 18:45 - May 29 with 7256 views | beanofire1 | Hi fellow R's fans! First time on here....I don't usually frequent forums, but, if I do, they have to be 'the best'.....so that's why I'm here! A little background. My first game was Arsenal at home in 1976. I have held a season ticket on occasion in between playing amateur football (mainly for British Airways....have played with Martin Francis & Peter Downes!) and then over the last 16 years have been singing in a tribute band, the last 6 years in a band in Germany, which pretty much rules a lot of Saturday home games out. But, I try to go to as many games home & away as humanly possible. My only son, is also an R. Here is is something amusing. I went to the 86 Milk Cup Final. Rangers lost. I couldn't make the Sheff Wed game at Hillsborough when we got promoted. The game against Watford when we won 2-0 and regained our place in the Premier League, I was on a plane bound for Lanzarote. The Leeds game where we lifted the trophy, I was in Lanzarote. The Man City game where we lost, I was on a plane coming back from Germany. And yes, you guessed it, the Play Off Final.....I was in Sasbach, Germany for a show. I get the feeling that every time Rangers need a positive outcome, I should be nowhere near the ground!!

Seriously though welcome to this site, it will enrich your support of the Rrrr's as it has done mine over the last few years. I too used to play a bit of football for BA back in the late 70's albeit not very well and mainly for the midweek and sometimes the lower Saturday teams. I also used to think I had a problem watching the Rrrrr's away from LR as I had never seen us win outside of London, until Reading in our promotion year. I even deliberately chose not to go to Hillsborough in case I jinxed it. Since 2012, I have seen victories at Southampton and Ipswich, as well as some defeats and draws. The one thing about those three wins was that my wife was with me. So naturally she was there last Saturday as well. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm surprised they didn't accuse him of racism "let me Abbos go loose Bruce,they're of no further use ".He'd be even more bang in trouble. | ![](/images/avatars/1330.gif) |
