Tinkskin Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Norwich here! Second son of a GI baby from WWII - so have grown up a v.proud anglo-american - been into the skins since the late 70's (I was 10!). Followed them through various means in the early days (relatives, US today on a tuesday, Channel 4, dodgy AFN radio on a sunday night) through to the great coverage we get today - love this sight and have met some great people. Got lucky in 92 on a family trip to the US to see relatives, when I persuaded a security guard to let me walk onto the turf at RFK in the offseason - unreal. Treasured photo's and memories. Took my wife to NY in Dec 97 to see get engaged - just so happened the Skins were playing the Gnats for the division!!! (my evil plan) - unfortunately we got humped 35-10 (Hostetler had a nightmare for us) but I stood loud and proud!! Will be there on sunday, but alas partly working as I work in the media and am hosting some journalists in one of the boxes - but the Skins cap will sit upon my head!!! The UK trip to FedEx would be fantastic - I turn 40 in 2009 so if we cant do it next season 2009 would be brilliant!!!! Either way count me in.....
