Once - away at Oxford, 3-0 down and the clock clicked to 90 minutes !! I was due to attend a family function in Thame, so left to miss the traffic chaos. As I walked across the carpark I heard the cheer as Darby scored, 3-1 I thought !! In the car and driving away from the ground I hear on the radio "a great fightback at the Kassam, 3-2 now".............we lost by that margin, but I've never left before the final whistle since.............nor have I been allowed to forget the day I left a game early !!
Raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease RIP Dale Roberts - gone, but never forgotten!!

If there was one game I'd stay until the end it was that one! We weren't going to make a comeback but the atmosphere was still amazing despite losing and I needed to applaud the players for the season we'd witnessed.
For the record my only time was Peterborough away in 2006, 2-0 down a couple of minutes before the end.
