    If your Uncle had brought back a programme for Doncaster rovers would you have supported them?

    Not as a Premier League side, no. In the FA Cup I would because that has always been tradition. I know that might be difficult to understand if you are a Premier League team supporter, but a lot of lower league supporters hate what's been done to the game. I never thought i'd see the day where i would want a European League as an upper tier to the Premier League, but in truth i wish that would happen now and they all fook off.

    Just about to buy a season ticket for Woking. Early bird price is £99 for me and £20 for my son. That would have been the price even if they stayed in the National League. Not bad for 20+ games!

    As a side note, Kustard wants us all kicked off this board as we don't support Prem clubs.

    Typical Prem yuppie.

    Excellent price. I see Woking have Dover at home last game of the season, going to be interesting that one as Dover might need the points for a play-off place and Woking the points to stay up.

    They’re going down fella. With a ****ing whimper. It was pathetic on Saturday. I took a mate and his son for their first match. Fortunately my mate was pissed by the time we got there.

    Wished it would, but doubt the Premier League would change. I think all the top 4 clubs across Europe could now afford a European League, it would be interesting to see how their fans would react to having no domestic games.

    The older I get the more I hate the PL. I hate the 24 hour coverage, the imbalance of the rich vs the poor, the rivalries that have no basis in history.

    The thing I hate the most is that every **** has an opinion. You know what they say about opinions and arseholes. Every arsehole has an opinion.

    Probably going to depend on Barrow who have two games in hand. Two toughies (Bromley and Aldershit) and two bottom of the table teams but yeah, not looking good.

    It’s a love hate thing for me. I hate the fact that I’ll travel 5 hrs round trip to watch some overpaid ponce of a millionaire footballer not giving a **** and putting in some half arsed performance before waltzing off with his £90k a week, that boils my piss. But on the other hand you get to see players in the flesh who are the some of the best on the planet and their ability is frighteningly good at times.

    I grew up during a period when my club hit the big time again and we were league champions, cup winners etc, but the players who delivered it, lived literally round the corner, they were ordinary blokes and whilst quite well off, not stinking rich hidden behind 8ft security fencing on ten acre estates.

    The game has lost touch with the working man at PL level, it might be for the best if the supposed elite ****ed off to a European league and took most of the TV cash with them.

    They really weren’t mate. It’s all quite new to me but one thing I’ve realised is that most of the players don’t give a ****. They’re either on loan or are just using it as a springboard to get into the League. One twat left to go to Ross County, made two sub appearances and was then released.

    Two of their four games are against the bottom two. They only need 4 points IMHO. Woking won’t win two games. I doubt they’ll win one.

    I work weekends so It's difficult to go much anymore, I've been to more Reading games than Arsenal in the last couple of years

    1. What team do you support? Chelsea
    2. Are you a season ticket holder/how much did it cost? No
    3. Do you actually go to games or watch only via TV? Very very very infrequently - missus takes priority plus i'm a fairweather fan so it's not life and death for me (or maybe i'm grounded? <whistle>). Occasionally on TV
    4. If a non season ticket holder, how many home games have you attended this season? 1
    5. Cost of a match day ticket when you do attend and is that the cheapest available for adults? dunno, wasn't me that sourced it
    6. Rough cost overall that you pay for match day entertainment (ticket, food, drink, transport)? dunno didnt keep track
    7. If you support a Prem team, do you go to watch any lower league teams (Whom and cost per game)? no
    8. What's the lowest league position you have ever watched your team play? no
    9. When was the last time you attended your team's ground to watch them play and who were you playing? Stoke, one of our big wins
    10. How did you come about supporting your team? Can't remember, mark stein and paul furlong were our strikers and michael duberry was the "lynch pin".
