If I'm lucky enough in the 'random' ballot I'll be one, along with my 2 sons, of those day trippers. Completing and funding an over 800 mile round trip together with hotel costs. I have also been a 'Well fan for over 40 years and until I moved down here visited almost every ground in Scotland + Fulham & Norwich + every round, except Aberdeen but incl replays, in '91 cup. Since I moved here my sons, bit old now, but were only kids in area wearing 'Well kits and not M.Utd/Arsenal etc. Eldest son was a mascot versus D'dee Utd. I have taken in loads of games at great expense incl cup games away to St Mirren in 2009 and I think what must have been 2nd replay at Tannadice against Brechin in feezin cold in January some years ago. etc etc. Oh yes we were also 'day trippers' at CIS final. So although attending every game is not a runner I probably spend more than most trying to follow the 'Well and I was at the Semi also spent a fortune in 'Well shop. Boys might be 17 & 20 now but still want their retro kits etc. Does fact we cannot make every game make us less likely to 'contribute to atmosphere' or make us less deserving of a cup final ticket? I think I am at least as likely to scream my head off & get every bit as emotional as any 'Well fan.
