    Haha cheers.
    Doesn't seem to have much history, my pikey mate, says they have a better history than we have ever achieved. Reading that, they have no history really.

    That depends how you define history.
    Leeds United weren't even founded until the 1920's and won sod all till the Revie era. They didn't even appear in their first FA Cup Final till 1965 and have only won the FA Cup once in 1972 (same as us). Granted they've won a couple of top flight titles and a Fairs Cup but I would have thought both sets of dee-dars had an overall better track record. (can't be arsed to check) and have been around a lot longer.

    Your pikey mate is talking ********. They weren't even elected to the league (Div 3 North) till the 1920's. We'd been in the 2nd Division for over 20 years by then. They've also never been to an FA Cup Final never mind win it. Never been in the Premier League and to add to that they been relegated to the Conference

    A little less?

    They've never been in the top tier
    Never been past the 5th round stage of the FA Cup
    Never won a major cup
    Never been in a major cup final
    Quarter final of the league cup twice
    Play off winners League 1
    Spent over 65 seasons in the third tier or below

    In comparison
    we have won the FA Cup
    FA Cup Runners Up
    Played in the top tier of English football
    Over 75 seasons in the top two divisions
    FA Cup semi finalists 3 times
    FA Cup Quarter Finalists 9 times
    Championship Play Off runners up
    Quarter final of the league cup once
    Play off Winners League 1

    The lower league championships aren't worth much.


    We look like Barcelona at the side of em.
