Well said Red Rag, watched a documentary about us in the late 60s 0r early 70s and the crowds we pulled were incredible, but I guess people didn't have the same distractions we do these days.
they were different times, still a bit of a railway town, less distractions and less people new to the town supporting other teams and less armchair fans.
My point is that Milwall are not obviously bigger than us (a load of cockney day trippers at their "home" game at Wembley slightly outnumbering us and an average crowd in excess of 10,000 last year compared to our's of 8,000 or so) and that with some vision and investment and a little success we (like other clubs) could become a very distinctive Championship club again.
As you say if we could only tap into the Cotswolds and Savernake Forest hinterlands, we could become a real powerhouse of the game - move over geordies and scousers.
We are very lucky to have a local star like Charlie and I hope he can go on and make a name for himself at a bigger club but there's some work to do here first and Milwall isn't that club - they wouldn't have the money and I didn't hear Morrison was being offered as a makeweight.
