    A profile published revealing what an average Saints fan is like, apparently we are 60 year old male , middle class, Guardian readers who like cats. :) I remember filling out this form. Portsmouth were similar but preferred fish as pets.

    Well that's a load of bollocks. I am nowhere near 60 and I don't read the Guardian. And I like dogs over cats. :mad: But I am male, I'll give them that. <laugh>

    I suspect that this survey is indicative of the 'wind up' nature of most football fans when asked to complete a survey that doesn't actually have any bearing on anything.

    Don't think many would cheat, but there is a bias introduced from relying on people who like to fill in surveys. I am 60+ and middle class, but that's about it.

    I now look for your result every week, as I expect many others, hoping you continue your fantastic form in the Premiership.

    I feared the worst for you back in the summer losing your so called better players.

    Hey, what does an 'average' BCFC fan know.

    Cheers Redprintt, yeah we do seem to have become the nation's underdog sticking it to the "elite".

    City are one of the clubs I follow down to my Grandad, who was a fan and was born and raised in Zummerzet, good luck in trying to get to the Championship...<cheers>

    Most likely drives an Alfa Romeo? There goes my process of buying one to be unique.

    I am not male, I don't read the guardian, I am not "middle class", I am not 60 and I detest cats. I'll get my coat...

    The exception that proves the rule? (It didn't make any sense when my mum said it, and it still doesn't)

    Bird watching is for cissies. The Grauniad is read by wets. I am absolutely skint. I am very pleased to say I do not fit the mould. I am a maverick and always will be.
