In the situation that Wimbledon found themselves in, what were the realistic alternatives to the franchise?
That's not a loaded question, I genuinely don't know and am too lazy to find out myself.
Still, just to fit in: arsecunts.
Die a natural death (after fighting tooth and nail to survive) and start again from the bottom. |

Vi er best i verden! Vi er best i verden! Vi har slått England 2-1 i fotball!! Det er aldeles utrolig! Vi har slått England! England, kjempers fødeland. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana--vi har slått dem alle sammen. Vi har slått dem alle sammen. Maggie Thatcher can you hear me?

Whilst it was a slightly confusing post, I think your argument should be with the MK scouser rather than Div...
It's ok, me and leefer have a special relationship. As you can probably tell, the MK lad struggles to put a sentence together, so seeing any wrong doing would bolster his IQ dramatically! |

I ask myself this question:
If STFC went bust, what team would I support instead.
My honest answer is: I wouldn't.
Plastic cunts just would not be able to fathom it.

Wow, great thread.
To be honest though folks - the abuse really doesnt bother me - so carry on.
Anyway as you all know - Game is off.
Good luck for the rest of the season
Phil

I'm not saying it's right, but it is what will happen.
Tis true, for example it's well over a year since FourFourTwo did the "Is it finally okay to like Franchise" article. If the media are writing about this then the masses (especially the ignorant fans within the top flight who have barely even heard of some clubs in League 1 and 2) are agreeing so I imagine your point is well in motion. |

Wow, great thread.
Very happy that the general greatness of this thread has taken you so much by surprise. Good luck for the rest of the season
Phil
Let's get this straight. You, a Franchise customer, are wishing us, supporters of a team that's in direct competition for a promotion place, good luck? I can only assume you're fairly new to football. By way of reciprocation, I hope your 'team' dies a horrible death. |

When we meet fans of teams in the upper echelons of the Premier League but live in Wroughton or London they usually give the excuse that 'my dad supported them for 40 years' or 'I liked them before they were good' in order to justify their support. Just wondering if anyones heard any excuses for supporting Franchise yet.
I also hope Franchise die a death, even though it's unlikely. I will hate the club until I draw my last breath, every bad thing that happens to the club will be greeted with a hearty laugh from some far corner of China.

and any victory they have will seem so hollow. On another forum I once said that a franchise fan celebrating success, would be like paying for a prostitute and then banging on about 'this fit bird you'd pulled'. I wonder what Phil thinks of this analogy? |
