Given the choice, I'd take our inability to finish in a top six for half a century over the large amount of teams who've never seen the top division.
i disagree - wherever you are you need to be a winner - we have not been close in a long long time - and hence the low crowds now
statistically not finishing in the top 6 of any division for 43 years has odds of over a million to 1 - so i guess there is no other team in world football with such a bad record
Either support or don't. Can't see what the obsession is with finishing positions, to be honest. Yeah, we all want success, but there ain't no guarantee.

There has always been those looking for any excuse to jump ship. Sometimes I wish that the council lot would form their own club and we can take the club forward without them.
And me, a new club to reform, play at the Ricoh, having got shut of Sepalla, Fisher and friends and moving forward, onwards and upwards. You can carry on watching the sisu version at Sowe Common.There has always been those looking for any excuse to jump ship.

Since we got relegated in 2001 I guess every team in the football league have experienced either a play off, promotion, Wembley day out. We have had nothing.
Since being born in the late 70's the best league position I've experienced is 7th in the 1988/89 season. Does any other club have a worse record than this? We are all definitely born sky blue and not through choice
So you would happily swap our years in the top flight for a couple of promotions from League 2?
alas the ambition of a new stadium finally killed them off.

I wouldn't. For me, the best thing about being a football fan is experiencing the buzz of 3 points on matchday. Give me City beating Yeovil over losing to Arsenal any day of the week.
In the 31 years I've supported the club in only 6 seasons did we end up having won more games than we lost. That is just fucking miserable.
This.
The victims on here would have you believe that we have spent our entire history stuck in League 1 & League 2. There are plenty of clubs in the football league who would swap our last 50 years with theirs on the spot.
We are the only team in the entire football league not to have finished in the top 6 of any division for the last 48ish years.
How depressing.
Yes, it is miserable, but what's the alternative? Er.....there isn't one.
In my 40+ years I've been lucky enough to have been to Wembley to see us lift the cup, seen some fantastic games over the years, etc. OK, the last decade has been particularly difficult, but personally that's the way football is. Even Man City had their bad times. Man Utd too, but as I asked earlier, what is the alternative. It's not like switching from Tesco to Lidl, is it?
As I keep saying, there's no guarantees, but I do feel for younger fans who've not experienced any of those magnificent highs.
Like the Ricoh has for us?
We ain't dead yet!
agreed , i think teams like stoke city and hull would happily take mid table premiership for the next 34 years than play at a lower levelGiven the choice, I'd take our inability to finish in a top six for half a century over the large amount of teams who've never seen the top division.
Just gasping for breath and pressing the "nurse! nurse!" button.
