The theatre of pies! I've been going to watch the Killie for nearly 50 years.

My father took me to Rugby Park as a boy, and now, when we're home from New Zealand, I take my own sons to the game. I love the continuity of it. Players and managers come and go, but the fans are always there. I always bump into someone I know. The club is so important to the town. You can't imagine one without the other.
