How many of the 8000 CAFC fans that were there for the first game back still go?

I still go but not as often as i would like.

    I was there and had a season ticket for a number of years until I moved to France so only go occasionally now. Miss being at live games loads particularly on days like today.

    Yep. Thinking back to the crowd I was with that day, I'd say about a quarter of us max still go regularly, probably less.

    For some reason tend to do more away games recently.

    Still try to get to The Valley when I can.

    Not as often as I'd like to sadly.

    Yep still going, and went to the last game as well, when some fans went a laid a wreath on the centre spot

    Yep, you betcha. People move on, move away and pass away sadly but I'd expect a pretty high % of us to be still going as you had to be pretty committed to follow us back then anyway.

    I had a ticket for the game, but didn't go, because the bloke who got me the ticket was unable to get hold of me to tell me. I lived in a hall of residence and it was pre-mobiles. So I'm one of the 8337 who had a ticket, but not one of the 8336 who was there. Anyway, I've got a season ticket these days, though I did lose my way around the 2003-2009 period and hardly went at all.

    Still goin as often as I can, making sure there's a few away days too. Started supporting during the exiled years, which made that first game back so special.....and still love the buzz of each time I see The Valley!

    Still good for 5-6 year, even though I started in Prague one week after the return. My dad and his best mate were there, but have both since passed away. But they were both so happy to be back there.
