I'm not that familiar with the setup there, but if that means he's had a season ticket for 80 consecutive years, then beat that if you can!!!!

Season tickets aren't that old, so he hasn't had one that long, but the 97 year-old has been a signed up member of BvB since April 1st, 1935 - not bad going. He might have been able to play for the 1st team if it hadn't been for the matter of that war and a long term in a prison camp ...

I know they Germans are generally quite well organised but a fan database that stretches back 80 years is quite special. He'll have no problem getting tickets for CAT 'A' games and cup finals ;)

Heard Bayern are looking to sign him....although might not be true as they only like to weaken their rivals as opposed to teams in the relegation area.

F@nnies.

I saw a story just recently that beats this one. It concerns actress, Vicky McLure's grandfather - the main reason she became a Notts supporter.


'THE grandfather of Bafta-winning actress Vicky McClure was the guest of honour at Notts County's FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley yesterday.Ralph McClure – a season ticket holder at Notts for 85 years – presented the match ball to the teams before a minute's silence was held at Meadow Lane.'

I had no idea either that season tickets had been around for so long!

Working on it bud, I am presently at 56yrs, and as I am now 61, hopefully will last long enough to top him.

Wow, good stuff. Did you go to the old Centre Stand ? I thought, but may be mistaken, that you could only buy C/S season's for that part of ER until the mid-seventies.

I know of one Hibs supporter who has had a ST for more than 80 years. No names will be mentioned on here, but I can verify the exact number later. There is at least one other poster on this board who can verify that this is true.
