And especially so when you’ve been going since the 1950s, like the next supporter in our hotseat: Mick Thorne.
Mick has been running the Oxford & Banbury supporters’ club since 1974 and also sits on the Fans’ Forum, but he has a canny plan to sidestep some of those difficulties.
And who can blame him? Selecting 50 of the most valuable heirlooms from the legendary Busby and Ferguson epochs – both of which he lived through – would be arduous enough.
Instead, Thorne has chosen to focus largely on his relationship with his much-loved branch, which he formed from three separate, unlinked groups – Oxford, Banbury and Bicester – almost five decades ago.
