I must admit that Histon FC is rather new to me. I am very much a Johnny-come-lately
who had not ventured through the turnstiles at the Glassworld Stadium prior to The
Stutes reaching the Blue Square Premier League earlier this season. I realise
there are some long-term fans who will not regard me as a “proper” Histon supporter
and some who will even resent me jumping on their bandwagon. I can understand that,
but it won’t stop me from irritating those people even more by admitting that I don’t
even live in Histon!
Family tradition dictated that from a very early age I should be a Crystal Palace
supporter and I have stayed loyal to the club of my birth-place ever since I was
introduced to football by my father some 45 years ago. Indeed, I am still a season
ticket holder at the Palace, as I have been since moving to Cambridgeshire over 20
years ago. However, the cost of following a Championship club, coupled with the
increasingly difficult journey to South London, has made me question the wisdom
of keeping up this tradition. |
