Thats it in a nutshell. I watched the Leeds game on Friday and saw the stark realisation of what this club is. A club ten miles down the road, playing cracking football, probably in the premiership, a huge crazy fan base, an owner with very deep pockets, a club that could easily hold its own against the premiership also rans. Then i look at us, not as a direct comparison but as to what direction we are heading and what the long term future holds. League 2 football for the foreseable future, dwindling crowds even with virtually give away season tickets, a ground in a shithole of an area of a dying city. I take no pleasure in our history of being a proverbial lower league shitkicker, the fact some of our fans revel in us being the 'runt' of the litter sickens me somewhat, like they are proud wearing a badge of honour with the insignia 'just happy to have a team to support. And with the gap widening between the top two divisions and the bottom two the championship seems as far away as ever. I'll be honest i have no interest in watching league 2 football, even winning the fucking division next year in my eyes means fuck all because long term this club is going nowhere. Same mate, I watched Leeds on Friday and the standard is class. Can't help but think back to us being on the cusp of that division, just a couple of players away from pushing for the top 2. I agree its the stark realisation of what we are, i sense we have a fan base thats been so use to watching shitkicking that they are almost apologetic when we dare try and mix it with the big boys. Embarrassed at our temerity to even think about the championship. Like working class families who win an all expensive holiday to the maldives but then come back complaining that the five star on site restaurant didn't give you mushy peas and white bread with the lobster thermidor. And it wasn't battered.

And with the gap widening between the top two divisions and the bottom two the championship seems as far away as ever. I'll be honest i have no interest in watching league 2 football, even winning the fucking division next year in my eyes means fuck all because long term this club is going nowhere. All of this. The thing is, you can compare going down now to when we did before. Theres the similar pattern of upheaval on and off the pitch and the manner of results. At least before there was the introduction of cheap tickets and McCall coming back amongst other things that brought in some positivity. What positivity is there now? I said earlier theres nothing to build a team around, off the pitch we are probably worse off than before going down. Now the cheap tickets are as a massive hindrance- an excuse to justify not having money to spend, and we've had them too long to raise the price; we're paying the price for not makingghay when the sun was shining. I work with lots of Leeds fans. Even though they work in an office theres still that edge of roughness all Leeds fans seem to have. They've also got an arrogance about it, especially at the moment and fucking good for them. They know this is probably their year and everyone else is frantically hoping they mess up. The spying incident was one example of their fanbases' mentality- they loved it and didn't give a shit what anyone else thinks. They found it hilarious to the extent at which other fans were enraged by it. They all closed ranks as a club while everyone else was moaning and whinging. Then we've got our fans. Who wouldn't want Ched Evans here because we're a family club. Who'd say they'd stop going if Steve Evans was appointed manager. If it was us and the spy gate incident our fans would behave the exact opposite. Leeds have a great fan base, if they get in the premiership i've no doubt they will stay up and reap the benefits. And as football quickly changes from its roots to the new world of big team football who really wants to be watching lower league shitkicking. Most of the footballers in the lower leagues a stealing a fucking living, cunts should pay for the privilege of playing. But hey, if we weren't a lower league butt plug, those victories against Arsenal, Villa and Chelsea wouldn't feel half as good said some fucking gomper.

I'd also add they're the sort that would come back from such a holiday and then say they would have been more comfortable having a week at a Butlins.

League 2 football for the foreseable future League Two football will be an achievement. If we're lucky we'll do a Leyton Orient. If we're not it'll be a Darlington/Stockport.

Booing them's not enough, everybody should agree to do the Poznan at an upcoming home game. With the inference being that they're so detested that fans don't want to even look at them, never mind support them.
