The rich get richer.

Quoted from Gary Haddock

Does my head in when some premier league fans from Grimsby says "Grimsby's excrement!" My reply has been and always will be this, "yeh, excrement compared to Man U, but let's face facts Man U have millions, town only have thousands. Massive difference." Grimsby back in the days before million pound players came along, town could compete financially as players use to cost thousands to buy, instead of millions. And let's not forget town also use to be a little boom town with the fishing industry. The best players cost well too much these days, so what chance to clubs who don't have that kind of money, have?

The comeback for all Man Utd fans is always.........just remind me again who holds the record attendance for a game at your home stadium?

Man U wouldn't have those millions if it wasn't for plastics like them, and clubs like Town would be much better off.

This isn't a dig at man Utd 'fans' as such but I do find that they seem to justify why they support a team...if you have to justify why you support a team and get massively defensive about it means you probably shouldn't support that team.

As for the record attendance thing at old Trafford...I once had a moronic Utd fan argue the toss with me until he decided to to try and prove himself right by googling it only to find he was wrong all along...silly girl private

i usually answer that one with..... well how many times have Man Utd won the Lincs Cup?

My plastic mates are wise to that comeback now, and respond with 'yes, but that was in the days before all seater stadiums'.

Haha I like that one.

I wasn't really having a dig at Man U fans, but they are the main ones for getting on their high horses. Probally because they (Man U fans) are everywhere.

They had 80 yrs to set a higher one, 1910 - 1990's before it went all seater.

The backlash against modern football is clearly gathering pace and you'll struggle to hear a positive word said for the off-pitch aspects of any football club nowadays. But where do we go from here?

Majority Fan Ownership is, for me, the only option - at our level at least. As someone said today - "face it, your football clubs don't love you", so if you're fed up of being treated like a walking cash machine and taken for granted, never being listened to, not enjoying your "matchday experience", then its time to get off your bottom and make your voice heard. It amazes me that so few people have joined The Trust when they're trying to help the fans form some form of collective voice.

Moaning is all well and good, but are people really as bothered as they like to make out? How many out there are willing to put their money where their mouths are? How many would boycott their clubs for good, like a few Cardiff fans I know, if they were being held to ransom? How many would cancel their sky contracts? How many would stand up and voice their opinions given the opportunity? How many are prepared to overlook short-term success on the pitch in favour of a sustainable future off it?
