From the pics I’ve seen he looks overjoyed to be here!
Can’t blame him. He’s probably been reading your upbeat comments on this forum.
Been to the old Highbury and the new one looks great. What is wrong with going to Fleetwood?:lol: :silly:
Just can not understand what is so funny about going to Fleetwood. Agin just the attitude we have had to put up with since joining the league.
Nothing wrong with fleetwood i remember a cold winter night coach ride home well ventilated oh those non league days
Just can not understand what is so funny about going to Fleetwood. Agin just the attitude we have had to put up with since joining the league.totally understand that response given that when we were last in that division we averaged about 7000 each week however when we reached the Championship we suddenly moved up to around 11000 overnight.Fast forward two years later to the first premier league season and we averaged 21000 and even if you take away an average away support of say 4000 in the prem we gained about 10k supporters when we moved out of the bottom two divisions.
So I understand people moaning about possible trips to Fleetwood and Gillingham because they have never experienced it but supporting a football isn’t just about the good times you sometimes have to rough it .
We call them Jonny come latelys you know the types who jumped on when things were good ,a bloke who ( tosser btw) I know of lorded it when we hit the big time ,seats in the hospitality,mixing at all the club dos with the directors and wearing the kit and what have you.Went for a few seasons and played the big supporter but when things cut up rough he is nowhere to be seen and he doesn’t go anymore because sadly he and his ilk only think the premier league is where it’s at.
clever marketing for sure and I heard a pundit say the same thing on tv on Monday ” if you drop out of the premier league Thats.it” so basically you have to be in the premier league or consider your club is finished.
What a load of bollocks !!!!Just can not understand what is so funny about going to Fleetwood. Agin just the attitude we have had to put up with since joining the league.

What a load of bollocks !!!![/quote]Considering I’m the only person laughing about people looking forward to Fleetwood away I presume that’s aimed at me. I can only imagine the last time any of you went to Fleetwood was when it was a bit of a thriving fishing port and not more recently. That’s why I’m laughing at the Fleetwood love in, I’d rather go to Colchester.
Gillingham? Yep been there, was there when the Spaniards made their debuts and a certain ‘Jesus is a Wiganer’ flag made it’s debut.And some folk say I need to lighten up, dear me.
