The press only cares about the top six and the fairytale stories, like Leicester. I remember us being in the headlines a fair bit with the Poyet and BSA great escapes.
Being in Aus, and working with/knowing a lot of “fans” of other clubs, we were disliked by a lot of the big teams fans, and the fans of the clubs who went down when we kept staying up by the skin of our teeth. We became known to a lot as the turd that wouldn’t flush - there wasn’t a lot of sadness when we dropped without a whimper. How much press do the likes of Brighton get? Or the likes of Forest on the Premiership past years programme? The weekly build up show over here is all about City, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, United etc. with the odd mention of Everton, the rest of the teams are just ‘there’.
If we somehow do end up being a force in English football again with the right backing, we’ll be in the press plenty.
