They're in a division that is 5.5 (I can't explain the point if you need me to) down from the premiership. I also support Everton.

GO USA....... :rock: :rock: :rock: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The difference is that they're no affiliated to anyone. In the 1970s Wimbledon were at our level. In 1988 they had been in the top league for several years, and beat Liverpool in the final of the FA Cup. Basically, we don't have a closed shop. You play well, you move up a level, and you can become, I guess a major league club - not by appointment but by performance. The two or three worst big (major league) clubs are relegated to the level below. So there is NO motivation to finish last. etc etc etc I support a team that is a lot of leagues down, but we all know if they play well and win year in year out they can win the premiership (world series). That doesn't apply to AA and AAA teams.

They have a lot of fans, and a lot of money, but they have to beat some crap sides (only 3 leagues higher than my lot) to go up a league. In fact, if my side went up, and Leeds finished in the bottom 4, they'd go down, and my side that attracts 400 fans would be one division away from these premiership winners who attract 30,000 fans. We reward performance, not mediocrity.
