Melton Town FC superfan Mark clocks up 400 matches
A Melton Town FC fan who has attended 400 matches has been thanked by the club for his dedicated support.
Mark Hill clocked up the impressive tally when he watched the team lose 3-1 to North Kilworth at Sign Right Park in the Leicestershire County Cup last Tuesday
Melton Town posted their thanks to Mark on their official Facebook page, calling it ‘an incredible milestone’.
The club said: “Since first following the Reds in the 2016/17 season, Mark has travelled to more than 10 different counties to follow the Reds.
"From making the 150-mile round trip to watch a 4-2 defeat against Buckingham Town in 2017, to witnessing our incredible 7-4 league victory over Quorn in 2022, proudly watching on as the Reds hosted Hednesford Town in the FA Cup, and enjoying memorable FA Cup victories away at Worksop, Goole and Winterton Rangers – Mark has been there through it all!
"One of his personal highlights was seeing his favourite player, Henry Eze, score a fantastic hat-trick of headers back in 2022!”
Mark must now be focusing on reaching the 500-match mark as part of the loyal Pork Pie Army following, home and away.
Melton Town FC added in their post: “Mark, thank you for your incredible loyalty, dedication and unwavering support over the years.
"It really does mean a lot to everyone at Melton Town.
"We'd also like to give a special mention to your fabulous wife, Mandy, who isn't too far behind you in her own appearance tally!
"Here's to many more miles, memories and moments together.”
