Old Man Andrews Doesn't it all come down to football supporters being inherently thick?
Thick certainly but essentially jealous.
I don't believe we were particularly disliked until getting dumped down to League 1 at the same time as opening a brand new 25k stadium which really did "shine" when compared to some of the sh+t holes we visited back then.
Since then, we've gone on to enjoy the success the likes of BC want for themselves but, funnily enough, none of it would have been possible with the "plastic" stadium they so dispise.
On the rare occasions throughout those heady times when they were good enough to exist in the same division, happy departures down a dual carriageway remarkably similar to hundreds of others up and down the country were few and far between.
Now, we are in the relegation zone and they are in the top half so this must be their time; Or perhaps not.
I couldn't make the game but it sounds as though they are where we were under Stam and Brendan; Trying to play cultured football but getting beaten by what they see as an inferior teams playing like pub sides.
Man for man, I doubt there's much difference between the two teams and that they are currently over achieving and we the opposite, in a division where the margins are extremely fine.
On another day they might have beaten us just as we might be 8/9 points better off with modest improvements in performance and a little more luck at the right time.
See you next season BC!!
