I've said this story before on here but Gary Neville sat a few seats from me amongst the Blackpool fans at Port Vale away in the early 00s to watch his ex United teammate Ben Thornley. He was in his United and England pomp at the time so it was quite the spectacle.

Pretty sure he was dating Thornleys sister at some point

Anyone else remember the game against QPR in the early 00's, I think it was Shane Richie got kicked out of hospitality
 
Jeff Stelling was watching the Florist v BFC play off semi in 2010 in the Irish Pub roud th corner from the BBC or Granada(can't remember which) just off Deansgate. Then again, so was half of Blackpool. It was like a Blackpool home game but in an away pub.

EDIT: That's Manchester for those who dont venture out much

Was in the pub in Pimlico London which was the same. Fantastic night
 
Chelsea away in Prem we had a bit of grub in a pub near the ground and Sean Lock was on the next table , then in the ground I sat next to Alec Stewart and his daughter, AS was quite chatty and very complimentary about us even though they were 4 nil up at half time 🤣 we drew the second half nil nil though 👍🏻

Here's a thing.

At Shrewsbury there were a very well dressed couple in the away end. It felt to me as if they had the vibe of being notable people. I didn't recognise them though.

They were dressed in that rather tailored look that defines really expensive clothing and both wore immaculate tangerine and white bar scarves. He had a quality brolly with him. I assume the stewards went all defferent when they strolled up and let him in.

If it was you, kudos for being so sartorially notable.

If it was someone famous or successful, who was it?

Yes - i sat next to this couple, and did wonder why they were so well dressed for a league one match at Shrewsbury.

I overheard them saying that they'd been to the Leyton Orient away game on the Tuesday night before..

Weird wasn't it?! If it's the same people (and I can't imagine it would be anyone else) they looked more like they were going to Henley Regatta than football.

Fair play to them tbf.
