Give it time topper....look at those two clubs.....£2k at home, 50 away (on a good day)......when the money men go they will too ! Eastleigh may not have as many fans as us but everyone at the club gave us a warm welcome. Same goes for Fleetwood when we visited their place. Its not all about how many fans each team has. Rather than deride them why not show some respect and give them the credit they deserve. Agree we should have a bit more respect for some of the smaller clubs especially as their supporters know what it is like to be in the depths of non league. And in fairness they probably all aspire to do what Yeovil have done. I would however disagree with your point about Fleetwood. While many of their people were welcoming on one occassion (may have been the first) we visited there were some plonkers up in their hospitality giving it large shouting and gesticulating to the Gasheads in the away end. Mind you perhaps they were right when you look at where they and we are now..... |

They take less than 100 away...move on, small non league club who wont exist in a few years time aka Rushden...... ok, but what have away numbers got to do with it? Eastleigh earn nothing (bar the odd cup match) from their fans travelling away |

Rather than deride them why not show some respect and give them the credit they deserve. this bertie big bollocks attitude is exactly why we are in this mess. too good to go down, too big to fail, too high a budget to lose against small teams, who were in non-lge a few years ago... eastleigh gave us free parking, free team sheets, good stewarding, access to their bar, cheap admission prices, and a lovely message from their chairman. |

Not all fanatical fans can travel away of course but the numbers that do go gives an insight into the depth of feeling there is for the football club. IMHO |
