To be fair, I do that just to piss them off :)

I also go around saying that clearly the Pilgrims didn't really want to start a new country because they spend months on a boat from Plymouth and named the place they landed...Plymouth.

I live in Connecticut, and within an hour's drive of my house are towns called Cheshire, Manchester, New London, New Britain, Greenwich, Bristol, Stratford, Norwich and Windsor.

That's got me some funny looks over the years "if you hated England so much, why did you keep naming your places after places there??!"

It's where I'm from according to 99% of Americans who see it written down.

I have a new low point.

Listening to the first minute of that god awful song by Roar Loven on the HE website. Absolutely embarrassing.

I liked Layer Road. Much better than their boring new ground. That afternoon my son & I had had to get tickets from Colchester so couldn't even support the team properly.

But relegation from League One doesn't compare with going out the league or down to Conference South.

I could think of many lows but the most recent was travelling down from Essex for the Fylde game at the end of last season, to see us effectively relegated that night.
Oh yes - we didn't really get relegated that day, we were relegated a few weeks before after crappy results. The fact that we gave ourselves a chance to stay up only to fail at the last was gutting though. And as I emigrated about a year after that, that was the 'lowest of the low' that I've personally ben able to witness.

I didn't like Layer Road because they still had those damn cages there, it was like being at the zoo. As an exhibit. Plus..we lost, so that naturally colours my opinion of the place somewhat.

Colchester's ground was horrible too - a real throwback to the 80s.

I've been around for so long I have a drawer full of bad memories but now isn't the time to open it as, against all my predictions, things are looking up.

On that subject, I know from my 60+ years of support that we've never won a championship since we were first elected to the football league. According to the records, the last time we did was 1926-7 and that was only the Southern League Western Section, a league of 14 teams 6 of which were reserve teams. Even then we only won on goal average as we had the same points as Bristol City Reserves!

A lot weighs on Gary Johnson and his squad this season if I am ever going to see a team of champions!

I've got to mention having to suffer the ineptitude of the class of referee at this level, I know most of them are doing it as a hobby & a few have aspirations to reach the peak of the premier league ! But the quality is shocking, no matter what Merse will tell you differnt, it is truly awful.
