Imagine spending your entire life supporting a club like this and then dying
Scunthorpe badge always pissed me off dont know why
just support Bayern lmao
>be scunthorpe fan>support local club>be active in local community>watch game every week with family and friends >die>go to heavensounds good to me
>>154555657>Wins the Lincolnshire Senior Cup (lol) 23 times>League One Champions 1957–58, 2006–07It's not much but any sane person would prefer this to a situation like Watford F.C
>>154555657One of their rivals
>>154555657I'm glad I don't have to worry about my team ever getting cucked like this
is promotion for a club like this worth less than an EPL or UCL trophy though?
>>154555787>moves to another state because the local government didn't give the owners 5b to buy a new stadium
>>154555657I imagine promotion to Tier 2 in the 2000s was quite special
You would have seen them win their respectful championship 9 times Thats pretty good
>>154556036rugby town desu
>>154555657There are worse hobbies
Post Wimbledon
>>154555666>satanic tripsyeah that fits what the fuck is this shit
>>154555657God forbid someone support a club based on their local community where all their friends also support it and go to games with you and to the pub before/after.
>>154556036Actually on a bit of an overperformance in recent years innit.
>>154557283It's based. What don't you like about it?
>>154555657>1909-2015
>>154557264
>>154559177>Wimbledon fan in 1982
>>154559302From a fairly new league side in the 4th tier in 1983 to 6th in the top flight 4 years later. And then winning the FA Cup the year after that. Not like they had any money either, just hoofball, sovl and chest beating pashun.
>>154559177The story is that "success killed Wimbledon". Really wonder how different it would be under patient ownership in TV money era. Bournemouth to this day has a smaller capacity than the old Plough Lane.
>>154559653Yep I imagine they could do it nowadays just on broadcast money. Can't imagine many top half finishes though as the wage bill would have to be small.What a shit idea the Milton Keynes thing was.
>>154557283>satanicabrahmism-brained retard
>>154560064Even when they went down they still had some good players like Neil Sullivan, John Hartson, Robbie Earle, Carl Cort, and Jason Euell. They started tapping into the impoverished black kid from South London demographic that Chelsea took over afterwards. Had they stayed in the Premiership in the 2000s they would have stayed a solid Championship-Lower Prem club slightly better than QPR.
are they about to do it again
>>154555657Not an easy fan life, but evidently much better and accomplished than bandwagoning the flavor of the month oligarch club. The downs make the ups worth more. People from Scunthorpe are supposed to support Scunthorpe, that’s the local community. Inherently soulful, even though there may be no success. The more success you have, the more bandwagoners and commerce there is - so the less soul there is
>>154555657I enjoyed my trip to Glanford Park to see the mighty Hull City win 5-1
>>154560849hmm rising elliot wave cup and handle formation, I'm definitely buying Leicestercoin.
>>154555699May you live a fulfilling life.
>>154560849BUY THE DIP
>>154557283Dunno maybe they have steel works in the town, you never know
