No surprise to know I feel exactly the same and admire the way you express things . I also admire your fanzine Glen and hope you soon get an award of recognition for it .

Won Fanzine of the Year last year and is up for the same award again this time round. It is a fantastic publication, this month's issue was a particular highlight.

Cheers gents, very kind of you.

Always a good read Glen. The here are always a few articles that raise a chuckle. The big club's fans can't enjoy or suffer the depths that we have experienced over the years.

In my view a lot of people watch Chelsea, Man City et al on the telly and they've become the yardstick. Rovers will never knock the ball around and put 5 goals past everybody like City do, but they're our team so through thick & thin we go.

Excellent Glen. Should be required reading for every fan.

My take (most people won't be surprised to learn) is that the change is due to the way that Sky in particular have skewed expectations and standards at the top, and vastly increased exposure of the very top teams. So we all see Man City etc, the playthings of a set of billionaires playing Fantasy Football on expenditure and (domestically at least) producing sumptuous displays on the pitch. We see that, day in, day out, and then we see our fallible heroes stumbling in Tier 3. And we shout "f**king shite!"  And we expect our owners to pour money into the club to make us less f**king shite.

I'll be honest, I don't see it changing any time soon.

Excellent summary of our current status - a good read as ever..
