purpleronnie Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2240950/Brighton-fans-poshest-Football-League-ahead-MK-Dons-Oxford-City.html Brighton and Hove Albion supporters have been voted the poshest in The Football League by their fellow fans, according to a survey conducted by Bet Butler. Two thousand fans were polled to discover just which supporters prefer their tea and scones to their pie and mash. It was The Seagulls faithful who were named the League's high-class collection, while 11 per cent of Albion's own fans agreed their club was 'very posh' by suggesting the team bus should be replaced with a stretch limo. Posh: Brighton topped the Football League poll THE RESULTS 1,959 Football League fans were polled to find out which club had the poshest supporters. Championship Winner: Brighton and Hove Albion (12.8%) Relegated: Barnsley (0.1%) League One Winner: MK Dons (7.9%) Relegated: Oldham Athletic (0%) League Two Winner: Oxford United (6.5%) Relegated: Bradford City (0%) * Peterborough United were omitted from the vote due to the fact they are nicknamed The Posh, which skewed results in their favour. .More than 25 per cent of Brighton fans opted for 'quite posh,' in contrast to Accrington Stanley fans, who didn't consider themselves posh at all. Ninety per cent felt the onion in their matchday pie counted as one of their five a day. In League One it was MK Dons who got the nod for having the third tier's most upmarket support, with 7.9 per cent of the total vote, while topping the League Two poll were Oxford United with 6.5 per cent. Flying high: MK Dons topped the League One table Proud not to be posh were Barnsley, Oldham Athletic and Bradford City spanning the three football league divisions, with 0.1 per cent of the total votes between them. Eighty-five per cent of Tykes labelled their club 'not posh at all,' while not a single Bantam or Latic could bring themselves to call their beloved side 'very posh.' HOW 'POSH' IS YOUR CLUB?

Out Foxed Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 oldham bratfut and scunneh. seems about right.
Dan Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 Glad we've got next to no-one. Posh is everything football shouldn't be (no Peterborough jibe intended).
ScouseFox Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 Haha. The bottom of that list is as expected. Just a load of northern shitholes.
kingfox Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 Haha. The bottom of that list is as expected. Just a load of northern shitholes. Oldham was my first away game, if I knew they were that bad, I'm surprised I didn't get stabbed.
Bayfox Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 2000 fans...... Really hardly a minority let alone anything else. How poor is that.
Saxondale Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 The article contradicts itself. It says that Brighton were voted most posh by fellow fans, but then continually references statistics about how fans view themselves. If it is fans' views of themselves then it pisses me off: "Dime from daan saaaf in-eye. Dem norvenaz saaand pwoper fick wen day speek"
Saxondale Posted 10 December 2012 Posted 10 December 2012 Yeah, a stretch limo is well posh. Not. What, you're trying to say that a gaggle of apprentice hairdressers drinking Lambrini out of plastic tumblers through phallic-shaped straws in the back of a cut-and-shut 80s American car with Kanye West blasting out the stereo isn't posh?

BHAFC Braders Posted 12 December 2012 Posted 12 December 2012 Saw this a couple of weeks ago , the following week we apparently were voted to have the best toilets in the football league. Personally just reckoning DM is trying to make up for wrongly accusing us of racism last season.
kingfox Posted 12 December 2012 Posted 12 December 2012 How are we behind fcuking Wolverhampton? You can say the same thing about Millwall, Forest, Portsmouth, Leeds, Coventry and Derby. How the hell are Millwall and Pompey that high.
Danno Posted 12 December 2012 Posted 12 December 2012 I thought it would be Milwall, such a pleasant bunch
