5,032 disgrace

Sun Jan 17, 2010 9:36 am

Really got to question if Scunthorpe deserve to have a team in the championship when only 4,500 of there own fans can be bothered to turn up.
Credit to there team and manager who can produce a good battling team on the resorces of there terrible support.

Should crowd size stop us from joining the Premier League? Our best crowd is 25,000 (taking away support out) which at best is less than half of what Man U Liverpool Chelsea and Arsenal get.

On that basis would we deserve a place in the top league.

does not matter how big there ground is, there deserve to be here as they got promoted and im sure worked very hard for it, the question should be can they keep up with the bigger clubs finacially the answer nope so i doubt they would ever get any higher that championship level, but best of luck to them...

It is a bit different with those clubs, they are huge and famous for winning things such as European cups! where we havent won anything!

Look at clubs like Burnley, Blackburn, Bolton, Hull, Wigan,and Stoke. Just to name a few, we are a bigger club than these clubs and would get more every week than these.

They deserve a place if they are able to field a team and remain solvent.

For a team like Scunthorpe to be playing in the championship with their "support" just goes to show how weak this league is. How the hell are we still 5th with a crippled team, booing fans and basically everything a mess?

Few premier league seasons and we'll be as big as Newcastle or Sunderland.

Perhaps the title was wrong i admit that, but they can attract a lot more than that, don't get me wrong we could get more but there crowd is lower than most 1st and 2nd division crowds.
My main beef is perhaps I'm slightly jealous of the passion those players show who earn a lot less than ours with a manager that gets paid a hell of a lot less than ours but by the sounds of it we were lucky to get a point yesterday. :ayatollah:
