I've seriously had to consider my own situation down the years but however hard I try and whatever excuses I try to come up with, I'd just never forgive myself if I decided to stop going. Even in these financial times it's like a drug to me, despite the fact that it costs me an absolute small fortune just to travel to home games these days. Away games are a treat for me over the past couple of seasons, and even two of those will be gone next season if Newcastle and Boro go down.
This season has only reinvigorated all LFC supporters win the title or not. Doubles over United and Chelsea, the 4-4 at the Bridge, the 4-4 against Arsenal, that magnificent night against Madrid, and of course the Hillsbrough anniversary.
I suppose I'm fortunate that I'm still so young and with the exception of my job, I have few responsibilities at the moment. I look forward to many more magnificent emotions and nights in the future.

I cant explain fully Mick why ,it took the Arsenal match to prove the catalyst for my decision ,I guess it could have been any match
I can remember getting in my car and just sitting there holding the wheel and my grip was getting tighter and tighter so much anger .
Since my first game in 77 against Spurs , Liverpool this team I would quite willingly shed blood for ,had now taken all the emotions I could give ,and left me a shell .
I am still at odds with my decision ,it certainly won't be the same being an armchair, and I can not for the life of me give a valid reason why it took 32 yrs ,I think its like button that gets pushed when the time is right fella ,my time must be now ....
