What is the craziest thing you've done for your club

**Éanna** · 12/12/2005, 2:05 PM

Quit a job because they wouldn't give me time off to go to the away game against Lausanne a few years ago. Oh and the trip to Metalurgs in the intertoto a few years back- overland to Latvia in 3 days.

There was a Harps fan, who for the past 50 years used to cycle from Drumkeen to Ballybofey every night Harps were playing in Finn Park.

Cycled nearly 20 miles to the games, no matter what the weather was like.

Sadly, Hughie Mc Gee was killed while out walking shortly after we claimed the First Division title last year,

Fittingly, that game when we won the league was his last appearance at Finn Park, and also on that night he was presented with the Supporter Of The Year award.

I meant to post about Hughie on here before- but of course despite the fact he was over 80 he didn't consider cycling that distance on dark and dangerous roads in all weathers Hughie didn't consider what he did in the least crazy. When asked about it in a local paper he just said- "Sure what else would I be doing?" He also once cycled in 24 hours early once having forgotten that our games had returned from Friday to Saturday nights, so without complaint he just cycled home and made the same trip the next night again.

He is sadly missed.

If not, then the answers no!

I wonder if anyone has ever flown from Finland to Sweden to watch an eL team, other than their own?

Give over Philo, I wanted to pick up some Swedish bread and just happened to be in the area.

Nearly went to bloody Tallinn too except for the electrical storm.

Damn it, foiled by my own anatomy

**diamond** · 13/12/2005, 4:39 PM

in fairness united park IS just beside the lourdes maternity ward. if she had have gone into labour you can actually see the pitch from the second floor so would not have missed a kick.
seriously though - to watch shels????? fair play

Are you still after the cup of tea you don't drink anyway?

**babydol** · 13/12/2005, 4:59 PM

Thrilled that i'm winning!! Sorry boys but you just can't compete!! Sure it was well worth it. I even had one of the oher fans walk up to me and say "God, you've lost weight". Yes seriously!

Although it has to be said the priest didn't exactly like my choice of christening gown!
