I think our fan base is regularly the most idiotic bunch of weirdos in the country. I count myself in that as well.  I wouldn’t have it any other way. We are quite unique, I reckon.

We are going to make loads of  quality under the radar signings and romp the league playing liquid football aren't we?

(Me included).We just love it don't we; in our blood... 'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
