Come on guys.
They've been lower than us for virtually the whole time since football began.
They were above us for a season (or two) and you don't expect them to gloat a little?!?
Are you telling me that if/when we get more success than the swampdwellers we won't wind them up about it?
Admittedly I didn't enjoy them taking the p!ss but I totally understand and accept it. I hope they manage to work a way out of their 'troubles' and I'd love to see them in the Prem.
I'm a Stockport lad and I can't stand County. If it was just the gloating bit when they were in a division above us I could take it, but it went alot further than that.
I remember back in the 70's, when County were truly on their arses and applying for re election every year, going to watch City play them in two friendly games in a short period of time to get some money into their club.
I also remember City fans going to Wembley to support them in their promotion play off match and that Leyland DAF trophy thing when they got beaten by Stoke.
Fast forward a few years and we are shit. We are away at Crewe and County are at home vs Port Vale. I went to watch County and at half time when the HT scores are being read out by the guy on the pitch with a microphone, he whipped the crowd up by shouting "and in the relegation battle at Gresty Road it's Crewe one City nil" County's supporters gave an almighty cheer. I couldn't believe after all the support over the years that City as a club and City's supporters had given to County that a club representitive would do such a thing. So from that moment I was out and I couldn't give a toss if they fold.
