lol It seems all of the clubs in the West Country seem to think like that.

'If we just got into the Premier League, we'd be massive, etc.', 'catchment area' blah blah blah. Truth is they don't have any top-flight clubs because it's not a football region and it's full of backward, straw-eating, pitchfork-brandishing numpties :ph34r:

What they don't seem to realise is that, while it does look like a large catchment area on a map, you also have to bear in mind the fact that the area is very sparsely populated. No fvcker lives there! Same as Wales. You can see it very clearly if you look at a general map of roads- it looks like someone's dropped a plate of spaghetti on England, and a few hairs on Wales.

As for the OP's question. Watford, after last season's smug bellendery. The delusional Brizzle City fans on this forum during the Maynard saga. My Wolves supporting mate. Cardiff - I'm going to love seeing them crash back down to Earth on our way up.

Coventry City supporters.

 

Revelled in our relegation to League One and their survival (quite naturally), hoping to see us struggle in the wilderness for years whilst they challenged for promotion.

 

The next year we return, overtake them, reach a couple of play-offs, they stagnate, go down to League One, sit in mid-table and homeless as we rise two divisions above them.

Party on, guys. LEICESTER'S GOING DOWN

 

They're laughing now, they're laughing now, they're laughing!

 

LEICESTER'S LAUGHING NOW!

My nephew.

Born in Leicester.

Schooled in Leicester.

Works (kind of) in Leicester.

Supports ... Arsenal, just because his Dad (the 70553r) who was also born and raised in Leicester, supports them.

My youngest son doesn't like football (forgive me, I have failed) but he cheers if he hears that York City have won as that was where he was born.

To any glory fan born or living in Leicester, up yours!

Yeah, but I can see this. I was born and brought up in leicestershire, then moved to hampshire. My son is hants born, but is a massive city fan because of me. And I hope if he ever has kids, they will be brought up the right way, ie city fans as well. And on it goes.... so I suppose he could be criticised by southampton fans in exactly the same way you criticised the arsenal fan. Born in hants, schooled in hants, works in hants, supports... LeicestER?

I have to say to, im a massive believer in supporting the team where your from, however I make exceptions to people from Leicester who support other teams, aslong as they follow city and want us to do well, I cant stand to hear folk, from Leicester, who revel in the fact when we lose and aren't doing well, so Im dedicating this to all of the facebook friends I have from Leicester, who seemed to jizz their pants when we got beat by Watford in the play offs last season, cheers boys!!

Well supporting leicester is hardly being a glory supporter! But to be fair if your dad, grandad' auntie whatever supports another club, takes you and gets you hooked then fine. My beef comes from those tw@'s who jump on the bandwagon because the hipsters say so, bunch of sheep who can't for themselves and decided to support someone because hey win all the time. It's bad enough on those rare days England do well and suddenly MP's are saying rah rah rah how spiffing that Rodney (Rooney) scoring that try er goal.

His Dad, my former Brother In Law was also born and raised in Leicester, as I believe his Father was - but the BIL supported Arse to be a glory hunter.

Glory hunters are unfortunate but they'll never experience the agony and euphoria of genuinely supporting a team from the heart. They might think they understand but they don't.

Their loss.

Right, which club or individual do you hope is reading or hearing about Leicester City's promotion and is really gutted by it?

 

For me it has to be Plymouth Argyll.  

 

Although Plymouth long ago returned to Division Four football, in other words their level, I have long awaited the time when we would be thrust into the limelight of Premier League football and they would have  a constant reminder of how, for a brief glorious period of their history, they considered themselves our rivals.

 

Would they listen to reason that they were just a small club on a purple patch?  Would they bollox.  Well...the proof is in the pudding and we are chomping on our millionaires shortcake they can continue to feed off the scraps which fall to the bottom feeders.

 

I don't wish to bring bad news to you at what should be, as you say, a time of celebration and euphoria, but I don't think any of us mind your promotion, certainly I've never got any impression any Argyle fan wanted you to fail. I was even a bit pleased, I quite like Leicester, there's certanly a lot of clubs I'd be far less happy to see in the Premier League. I know the Holloway thing got to us but there was never any great animosity toward your club (barring a few idiots on online forums perhaps) and it's been years since any of us have given your lot any thought at all. All I might be reminded of when I see you in the Premier League in relation to Argyle is this post and the surprising knowledge that anyone in Leicester has even the slightest care about what we think of them down here.

 

Anyway, apologies for taking up space on your forum. I genuinely want to wish you the best of luck next season, I hope you all enjoy your shortcake.

I sincerely hope that there are more than a few Forest, Coventry, Bristol City, Watford and Cardiff fans crying into their breakfasts right now.

Stoke fans.

I pray to whoever above that we send them down in the final game next season

We beat them to ensure our safety and sending them down and invade the pitch 2 minutes before the end?

Amen

I seem to remember Plymouth fans in the days of us taking Hollowhead from them saying that they'd make it to the prem before us... 

 

As someone from the Plymouth area I never remember any of them saying that.

Completely disagree.

If I have kids while living up in Wales they will be Leicester fans and they will not have a say in the matter!

Geography or dad, the only 2 valid reasons I accept from people.
