Hold on just answered my own question, mods close thread 😄😄 And yet, one of their players has just agreed to leave them and come to us - a team bottom of the league they love to take the piss out of, yet still with more honours and a history that makes theirs look like utter shite. A team that has a stadium with 3 times the capacity (and nearly 10 times the seated capacity), that they could only dream of. They can get it right ****ing up them. Teams like them spend every season hoping to avoid relegation and for an FA Cup draw against one of the top 4 English teams, just so they can get absolutely pumped but make some extra cash. Imagine having that as your footballing life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Why would anyone - other than other Burton Albion supporters - bother to read what Burton Albion supporters think about anything?

SpruceBringsteen Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Not going to lay into the Burton fans, it's not really their fault. They're taken in by the relentless promotion of English football by SKY - they genuinely believe they're a big deal because they're told on a daily basis that they are (or at least that they're one playoff win from it). Tbh I'd love it if Scottish football was so hyped that a club the size of Elgin felt like they could run their mouths about a team infinitely more important than them.

Having been there I am delighted to tell you I have forgotten how to get there and am extremely pleased about that. I do recall that it had a very unpleasant smell about the place and I don't think that was anything to do with the football club althought it did resemble a junior football ground that you would expect to see in that god foresaken place north of Hadrian's Wall which the local refers to as a county of England.

PhoenixHearts Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 A big part of the issue is that we're constantly fed this line by the media that "english football is the best in the world". Of course what they actually mean is just that Premier League being one of the best leagues in the world, but fans of diddy wee clubs like Burton or Luton just hear "english football" and think it applies to them too and that they're a part of it all. Granted there's a big gulf in quality throughout our league between the old firm and perrenial bottom feeders like Hamilton, but I reckon the liked of St Mirren would give Burton a good game, if not beat them.

Zen Jambo Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) And Notts et al. are in the conference. Bigger clubs fall on hard times and smaller, well run, clubs get the opportunity to take advantage. Nothing wrong with that at all. That’s football. As a season ticket holder for a non league club, that are pushing for league football, it’s great to see smaller reputation teams build up momentum and a following. They are never going to have the history or legacy of most. I bet there as many more fans that respect this move than belittle it. On a side note L2 is terrible quality, even a Hearts from the last 18 months could survive that! L1 is much better but only in the top half.

Mr Rabbit Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Use to live in Leeds for five years and most of the guys in my football team rated the Scottish league to be the same level as League 1/ League 2 apart from Rangers and Celtic. This was including one of the boys who is a scout for Heerenveen. Ultimately it comes down to the fact of how poor Scottish football is marketed, an extreme arrogance from their point and the money pumped in by sky sports. For me the top half of our league is middle/ bottom championship level and the lower half bottom championship/ top of league one level.

Doncaster and Reagan aided by the media were only too keen to play down our game at every turn, getting paid handsomely for it too. I remember Barry Hearn saying wtf is going on? Love Hearts but hate Scottish football because it hates itself, well apart from its ugly sisters. It's no wonder other countries dont rate us.

RS86 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Burton fans think our league is shite. Yet their top scorer is leaving to further his career with us and one of their best current players is a cast off who failed at us and wasn't exactly a revelation at Partick or whilst on loan to St Mirren.
