did anyone else read the report in the Echo today the bit that said "But, just as Boro's 800 fan's inside Old Trafford started to think about a place in the last 16"

800 fans

Seriously 800

I long for the day they return to the lower echelons of the English football, where if it wasn't for Steve Gibson they'd probably be. I'd love to hear that fat patronsing cocksocket Alistair Brownlee commentating on them playing Cheltenham in a league match at Whaddon Road, the fooker would have a nervous breakdown and I'd love that. I can imagine him crying down his microphone as he tried get excited about the latest signing from Shrewsbury.

You may have detected that I have a slight dislike of the Borer from the tone of my post, you'd be spot on.

Borer are kunts

there must have been close on 2,000 Pools fans there last night

I would have liked to hear that no Borer fans at all went.£41 entry fee was a feckin disgrace

Now come on lads, settle down. Like me, I'm sure you like to see all North East clubs doing well.

They normally spend that on a few 'parnts' or a gift for 'our mam' and at the end of the day it's only 'fourerty' quid about the cost of a one eyed tacksuit clad prossie down the border.

I hate when someone ruins well meant rant from the heart about the Borer with unarguable fact, you bastad

800 fans to a League Cup reserve game 2 hours away when its 41 bar in is pretty good if you ask me

...down a well surely...?

All except Sunderland,Newcastle,Middlesbrough & Darlington.

Not really when it's Old Trafford and you are Premiership club with 25,000 gates. £41 in current climate is absurd and explains the 800 turnout to be fair the echo mentioned the lack of numbers but not the reason for it. A bit mischievous if you ask me! But's it the Borer so I approve fully.
