Good summary, I used to frequent WSAG back in the day and they do seem to have a weird chip on their shoulders about us.

We always used to get on with the WSAG team then they suddenly turned full-on twats full of snide comments about everyone else. They became the antithesis of what fanzines were about.

Best preview yet, especially "getting off the coaches and walking down from the Witton Arms in Raybans and Versace, quoting Sartre". Can see Zephaniah nicking that for one of his poems.

No, there’s not much similarity apart from the shirt colour.

For a start, they’ve been in the top flight for the last 70 years and have only ever been relegated twice  :)

In awe of their bigger club in the city, a dump of a ground , horrible support and think themselves the city’s home club   Ps they only stayed in the top division due to a fiddle
