Great read, Dave. Ashley Young was given a great reception by the Holte End. We were singing the 'Aye, Aye Ashley, Ashley Young' song, and also gave him a huge round of applause when he took a corner for them in the second half. I can't remember a returning player having been given such a reception before.

Not 1 but 2 of the opposition players got a mention, standards are dropping  :)

Great read as always, Dave.

Thank you, a good read but was it a capacity crowd? I thought  we were a 1000 short!
