Its Not All Bad Living Down South....

Huddersfield Town seem to have entered into League One Southern Division at the start of the season and one look at the fixture list saw that many miles needed to be travelled to follow Lee clark and his men. For southern town fans its a dream and over March and April there was a feast of football to be had that kindly fitted with our upturn in away form. Gillingham away followed swiftly after the debacle at Southampton and it has to be up there with the worst away ends and places in my whole time supporting town, Peter was still smiling though. We were poor and to rub it in even more i had to deal with a 12 year old doling out abuse on the train home, incorporating the score of two nil into everything he said and saw. Comedy gems like "is that TWO doors on the car," little prick.




Then came Leyton Orient, which saw yet another good turnout from the town faithful who were treated to a very accomplished and strong performance against a very poor Orient side. We sang our hearts out in the ground but the same cannot be said for the the Coach and Horses before, the scene of a famous sing song with Deano, surrounded by arabs, bananas and even a pig! Thankfully that was the only flat performance of the whole day as town notched up another win that sent us to play off glory.

A new ground for many town fans, Wycombe was another great performance, we were really being spoilt away from home. Over a 1000 town fans, including Sir Andy Booth and the Millbridge Pikey crew as they like to be known , roared on the town to a 2-1 victory courtesy of great strikes from Rhodes and Robinson who sent many people flying over the foam like advertising boards. 'IF THEO SCORES WE'RE ON THE PITCH' came true for some people that day. To see big groups of away fans getting excited about watching town, dressing up and trying to get an atmosphere going is really good to see. Hopfully the dark days of a 400 away at Wallsall watching Glennon picking the ball out of the net too many times to count are long gone. We also couldn't miss a chance to get another photo with a Town Legend.



In the next part there will be pictures and reports from Brentford and Exeter, games in which we lost but still had a good time.
