while i agree with you in theory, i think people really overestimate the rags and dippers popularity and underestimate the depth of hatred there is for them. if they went and formed an esl tomorrow it would be popular for a year maybe two but that would be it, the whole ethos of football and why it is so popular is that on any given day the big team might take a black eye from the little guy, remember when we were crap no day mattered as much as derby day because on that day we might just might do those fuckers who looked down on us for the rest of the season, an esl takes that away and i think would fall on its arse in a couple of years.
