Is this true? If so many congratulations - must be Accyweb's oldest member.

I did think it might be Retlaw but It seems I could be wrong!:D

Dianne I think it's a bit of a red herring. Morecambe Red seems to go to a lot of football matches which I don't think a 107 yr old would manage. Join date was 2005 so the 1905 date could be either an error or a wind up. Having said that I'll be looking in the local paper for reports of a birthday bash!

Might be their oldest and most long-standing supporter too!:D

Perhaps some of the other Stanley diehards might know him and be able to enlighten us...I'm thinking perhaps Cashy and Wynonie here.

No Dianne that profile pic is a photo of the stand at the old Morecambe ground Christie Park before they moved a couple of years ago. And looking at his posts he's definitely a Shrimps supporter.

Your naivety & acceptance does you credit Mo. :) Shows you're still not at cynic level yet. :D

Wasn't the sea air thing supposed to be about ozone levels??

Ha ha! Yep a fully fledged Shrimpie - I've been to three whole games, two of which were against Accy! I have been to both the old and new grounds, apart from that only Peel Park as a youngster with my dad and Preston North End when I was a student. I'm assuming that your forays to footy grounds were also in your heady student days in the Pool!
