What is it with the skate fans?

[Dr Who?]

They feel that at every opportunity they have to get on the TV or radio and say that they are the biggest club on the south coast.

 

I just do not understand the logic in this?

 

They quite clearly are not at this current moment in time!!

Not even 2nd now.

They are like an annoying little brother, I know, I have one just like them. My big brother on the other hand is sound as a pound, ironically, he is a skate. Work that one out!

they got to keep saying it to convince themselves they matter

Their history and one recent tainted FA Cup is all they have to lift them from a stadium falling apart and unstable ownership. They bang on about the great teams from the 1940s but Preston and Blackpool had greater teams more recently than that, even Bolton but their fans don't claim to be bigger than Man City! Frankly, who outside of Hampshire cares anyway? We've just got to keep on winning games and be around the top 6 and we'll have a good season, what the skates do is irrelevant.

They're a small club, with small support and a small club mentality - hence their ridiculous claims to being bigger than they are.

 

The only thing they're know for these days is for being a laughing stock - with their owner merry-go-round and their inability to even fill the subs bench.

Small club with a reasonable "honours" count to convice themselves they're bigger than they are.

 

They must be bigger than Leeds seeing as they've won more fa cups, afterall!
