I've spent the past 2/3 days, using my breaks, to scour other club forums.
About any reference to us, because a couple of work colleagues seem to think we are the
laughing stock of football. They ain't noses nor dogheads no idea who they support.
In fact I don't think they've ever been to any match in 10 years -
-perhaps they don't like me ?
Anyway...... we are referenced on every bloody forum I've found so far.
Man U to Sheffield U even.
Hartlepool and even Stevenage and Nuneaton.
And all of the cr@p I've seen is pick-ups from our sites. Records under Lambert, records about to be broken etc. All bad, and all with "jolly jape" comments by the clever supporters of BIG clubs like the Dogheads.
I accept that we are a figure of fun to others, and one blouse forum is running a stupid thread about our demise that almost equals villa threads about their demise.
Perhaps it's time to make friends and break bread as they say ?
It is about the "Hate" i'm concerned about.
Not just the petty jibes from our nearest rivals, but the viscious repitition of stats other fans have picked up-
from our own forums. JEEZ
I never realised we were hatedBut, like Man Utd years ago we seem to have more people hate us than pity us.
At best I would have thought that we would always be a mid-table side that now and again picked up a fan or two who stuck with us, and grew slowly.Globally.
I hate to say this, but the most common jibe / insult /comment I've read so far
--- is about us. The "fans"
We are supposed to be living in 'Victorian times' or living in the past.
We expect to be top-table because of our history
We have an owner who has sunk -
and may never recover - over £300 million in our club, and we HATE HIM.
So we,
the fans who protest against him are the actual figures of fun.
The reason why we seem to be hated by other fans.
I would suggest,if you are as suicidal as I was, to use a search engine and trawl other forums.
Forget our locals - just go further afield, and see that we are hated.
WHY For Goodnss Sake ?
