    Well over a week on and we are now living in their heads completely rent free

    “I just can’t see it. There’s at least 6 better clubs than us this season. It stinks of 10th place. I am literally pinning my hopes on McGuane becoming fit and being a beast.

    How do you know?

    Cardiff
    Bolton
    ....surely not Bradford?



    On paper, no one has a better squad than us. I haven't seen a good side yet and certainly not Bradford. I'd say anyone who thinks there are 6 better sides than Town are making that bit up.”

    They'll never get more fans than us when we are in the same league, the days of them being a bigger club are well gone. From 15k to 20k, the atmosphere is also not comparable. Even when they were in the PL they had to bring them clappers in to try to generate something into the lego ground. Fair enough they have an owner who will throw around some money, but the novelty will wear off. They can live off having success in the 30s as it's all they have left.

    “He's coaching from a book that's it. His main achievement is being a coach at Ipswich. Get him gone and go get Alexander from Bradford. Show those Chickens who the big dog is in this league”

    Incredible arrogance. Massive delusions of grandeur.
    DATM is a fun read these days.

    Town fans are comedy gold right now.

    The sooner they realise they aren't this massive Prem club that has had the misfortune to drop down the leagues and they're just another L1 club, the easier this thing will be for them.

    Their delusions of grandeur are so cringe. I'd understand it if they had a huge support, but they barely pull 15k home attendances.

    They're in no way bigger as a club. The only difference in our semi-recent history, is that we committed financial suicide through over-reach and at the same time they had Dean Hoyle pumping money in.

    They're a horrid, deluded bunch. Never forgiven or excused the way they acted in the aftermath of the Gordon Watson injury (assault). Hopefully they implode completely and go down to L2.

    But not all agree with him
    "Why do you think Alexander would come to join us?
    We have a hardcore fan base of circa 10k which rises to 15k if things are going well.
    We moan and boo our own players if they make any mistakes.
    Managers are given 6 games before we demand they are sacked.
    Cowshed Massive (all 500 of them) sing same 3 songs.
    We moan about the cost of everything but expect Chairman just to keep spending.
    We moan about road works and train station.
    I think we are one of the worst 'supported' teams in the division and the sense of entitlement is alarming.

    Before some moron responds with 'happy clapper', I'm not even suggesting that Grant is the answer and that I'm completely happy. However, he is our manager and I'm convinced he is working really hard to make us better. Maybe he will fail but in the meantime he deserves some patience and our support."

    I’ve always said they are a self-entitled arrogant bunch, even some of their own fans now agree.

    There'd be something very sweet if they were to have to endure the next 10 years that we've had to experience over the last 10

    Actually 2015/2016 & 2016/2017 were pretty good. Play Offs both seasons and the new nearly season where we lost 1-0 in the Play Off Final.
    So but let them endure the following eight, perhaps multiplied by 2.

    How similar are Cook and Campbell? Both big lads, score goals, take no prisoners and completely unintelligible when speaking. But as an old timer, I was a 20 year old watching that game, where does all that time go?

    Then the world really see the difference in fan bases ..........the dingbats have never really had a sustained spell of being crap lets hope they are now entering the piss poor years ..........

    Btw 18k yesterday looked half empty to me :)

    You only have to look through history and how this little towns supporters go missing on mass

    There is an argument who is bigger and winning trophies probably has them on top sadly like the other bellends from Leeds they have a high opinion that they deserve to be with the elite ..............when the reality is that Wigan Athletic have matched there trophy haul over the last 50 years.

    In fact little old us have matched both clubs combined major final apperances over the last 50 years :)

    Both bastards clubs who in recent history have proven that when the going gets tough they all fook off on mass

    They remember nabbing our star striker and think it's still the same scenario.

    Might be if they were in the Championship, but they're not.

    No reason for GA to jump ships to another League One side with a competitive stature.

    They are in the same place we were a year or 2 back. Wasting fortunes appointing and sacking managers. Think GA is on a mission to finish his current project rather than repeat his Dons experience.

    If "fans" miss games they have paid for, they are not from Yorkshire. Bert and Ethel are and every year they go to the Yorkshire show and every time Bert wants to do the plane trip over the dales, £40pp. Every year, Ethel is steadfast in her response; "No! £80 is £80". This year the weary pilot says "I'll do a deal with you. I'll take you up and if you say nothing the whole trip, it's on the house". Bert was straight in and Ethel forlornly followed and they were off. 20 mins later they landed and the pilot couldn't believe it. Loop di loops, free falls and not a peep. Bert steadfastly looked at him and said "I nearly said summat when Eth fell out but 80quid is 80 quid.
