SUPERSTITIOUS Wanderers fan Dale Martin has vowed to shiver his way through the winter, as long as his heroes stay unbeaten at Burnden Park. Dale, aged 34, is convinced that his decision to turn up at each home game this season in Fireman Dale, from Halliwell, said: "I went in my T-shirt and shorts to the first game back in August and I've not put a pair of trousers on since for any Burnden games. I'm prepared to leave my legs exposed to the elements as long as we don't lose!"
