A friend who is a big Hibs fan has been trying since to get me to go through easter road way, to no prevail. Recently my partners dad suggested going to killie games as he lives in Kilmarnock and has recently turned his back on Rangers with all thats went on there. Personally though I could really see myself following Hamilton, the complete opposite of Motherwell, which in my opinion is a backwards thinking club, who use their "family club" label to sponge money off the paying fan. Hamilton on the other hand, is a modern forward thinking club, with a good business model and a chairman who cares about the club. Over the last year I have grown to admire hamilton for this. Anyway without going off in a tangent the point of this post is to see if I would be welcome amongst the home support. The thing is several years ago (2010), I was involved in an incident at new douglas park where a smoke bomb was set off, some of may remember it as it was in the news at the time. Although I'm not a daft 18 year old any more (now 23) this makes apprehensive about attending a hamilton incase be someone takes exception to my presence in the ground. I know as result of the abuse I received towards me and my family (who had nothing to do with it) I've never been back at a Motherwell game. I learned a lesson then and have done a lot of growing up since. I was wondering how the fans of Hamilton might receive me attending/following/supporting their club under the circumstances and after walking away from a local rival. Thoughts please?

But seriously, Accies have a really good set up and are playing some lovely football mostly these days...who knows how long it will last but the Club is in good hands. I think Accies fans will be more than happy to welcome an ex Well fan to the home of football. Come on over!
