Reading and listening to all-things Stockport County said around here, many of their fans still can't get their heads around the fact they're playing such as Curzon Ashton, FC United of Manchester and Altrincham in the National League North and have been overtaken by Salford City. On their Fans Forum many make comments that they're still rivals of and still should be just one division below (as indeed they were when I left Boston to move over here) Manchester United and Manchester City.
Well, they've been at National League North level for 5 or 6 seasons now, and still there are lots of derogatory remarks made about their opponents, especially of course, when they lose. And, even though this supporter was angry at his own team's performance and recognised our good play - just look how dismissive he is of us.
"It was an awful performance we got tonked at home, outplayed, out muscled, and our tactics were outdone. Nothing positive from yesterday at all. It’s time Jim and his players start to do what they are paid to do now and I’ll remind you who this was by................. BOSTON UNITED!"
If I knew who he was I'd tell him to check where we are in the league table in relation to them, and remind himself of what level of football they're playing at these days.
