Marching on (in League One) together

I fucking hate Leeds. More specifically I detest Ken Bates in particular for his crimes against football generally and for being a tax-dodging prick; and I thoroughly dislike the few ersatz Leeds fans that turn up on the green room, with their arrogant 'we're too good for this division because we're a big club' mentality, as if somehow they shouldn't be in League One because they get crowds above 20,000 on a regular basis. So it was very pleasing, no, immensely pleasing to watch them crash out of the L1 play-off's last night, losing 2-1 on aggregate to Millwall and condemning them to a third season (count 'em!) in hell, or L1 as the rest of us call it.

Not that I've got any great love for Millwall either, but while a rather large proportion of their fanbase may be violent thugs who'd slit your throat as soon as look at you (I may be exaggerating slightly for effect) at least they're not forever banging on about how they're too big for this league. From a purely selfish financial viewpoint it's preferable to have Leeds with us as well - they're certain to sell out the away end next season (and a fair proportion of the home stands) whereas most years Millwall usually don't bring down many more than 500-odd supporters. As a matter of fact the away end should be full more than once next season - Leeds, Southampton, Exeter, the Gas, Norwich and Charlton should all take their full allocations, which will please the accountants.

Anyway, well done the Lions. Bad luck Leeds, here's to another season down amongst the dead men. In their first season here their club shop thought it would be a good idea to produce a range of t-shirts with 'Where's Yeovil'? on the front. I think they know exactly where we are now. Ha ha ha!
