[QUOTE="Rob The Titan, post: 96403"] I totally agree Norhtern Lad. :bravo: Why should a team in Nat1 that earns the right to go into the Prem be denied just because they're not percieved to be a 'big club'. The Sarries fans view is typical Premiership snobbery where he's basically saying 'we're Saracens, we should be in the Premiership (ringfenced?) because we've always been there' When my local footy team, Barnsley, got promoted to the Prem it was brilliant for the town and everyone in the Prem footy league welcomed them with open arms, despite them being a 'small club'. Just because we don't play at a two-thirds empty football stadium and a lot of Rotherham and Bedford fans don't go round wearing blazers and saying 'ra-ra-ra old boy' we shouldn't be denied!! Struck a nerve? Bet your bloody life it has!! :ranting: PS. Would imagine I'll be at the cup game on the 20th, went to both our play-off games at Goldington Road and the atmosphere was brilliant! Which is more than can be said at certain grounds where 5000 folk are shoved in the corner of a large football stadium..... hope both teams are at full strength, got a feeling we'll rest a few [/QUOTE]
