    I was shocked how few took a stand against him. I used to think our support was ‘head and shoulders’ above any in the land. Now I realize that some of ours are the best but we have many who don’t love the club
    I don't know if it's improving now TopToon but while Fatso reigned, especially towards the end I heard that countless youngsters in the area were parading shirts form Manure, Citeh and Liverpool as well as the London mob.

    When I was a lad you wouldn't have dared done that and you would never, ever see anything other than black and white stripes that is apart from the very rare Muckem tat.

    I’ve heard many reasons behind the decision and very few are justifiable to me.
