Have you "suffered" following your side...
Do you agree with your team's place in this list of suffering fans?

I'd actually tend to agree we haven't had it too badly on the pitch (Watford) - being promoted 3 times and getting to 3 cup semi finals whilst only being out of the top 2 divisions for two seasons since the 70s.
However we'd had the usual off the field issues with near administration and boardroom battles...but then which team hasn't?

P.S can we have the 3 points on the 29th. We're desperate
I'm going too which usually leads to a defeat.
Losing Tuesday was a blow - have to hope Bolton aren't too fussed.
Tuesday was a real blow. Probably one of our best performances of the season and we lost
Pretty much - we'd have to win all 5 games which includes QPR and Derby away.
I think Brighton will nick 6th - they have Blackpool/Yeovil at home plus a poor Forest side.
Don't discount Middlesborough, who are on a winning run and have an easy run in
And to answer your question I have been through a lot of suffering supporting Notts County
I definitely don't agree with us being 88th in that list at all because as good as those seasons were with those two managers, I've suffered through the horrible seasons of 1997/98, 1998/99, 2004/05, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 (Relegated), 2012/13, and this season currently since the new year.
My second team Swindon Town is 3rd I agree with that though.
Bournemouth signed Yann Kermorgant from us in January and have thrived from his presence. He's brilliant.
As for the Swindon comment. No sympathy after knocking us out the POs 09/10! You can suffer!
We could see all of our rivals win a trophy this season,whilst we poodle about below a Spurs team managed by Tim Sherwood!
I would consider that suffering!
Well it isn't based over one season TBF..
;-)
Yes, because out of the three areas that they've provided, you've really suffered more than others.
I'm surprised you took this route instead of nitpicking this bit:
Since the Premiership started in 1882 (before the Football League), how can you rank United any higher than last place?
I was being a tiny bit sarcastic, but even still this season has been a nightmare by our own standards!
I understand that a lot more clubs have suffered far more than we have over the years/decades.
that's all you need to know
Hardly a dull moment really
I don't understand why Tottenham are above the likes of Pompey in the third column.
I think the table is rubbish myself, it is made using stats and data which I don't think you can use to calculate how much the fans have suffered.
EG - what about the suffering Coventry fans have had recently with their stadium issues, or various club such as Cardiff/Leeds have had with their owners.

Similar to Notts County, who have been promoted twice, relegated three times and lost one play off final to Bradford in 1996. All in all, we are quite an interesting team to support
Since 2001 we had our entire team sold, we had administration, 2 relegations, being dumped out of F A CUP by bin league team, had to suffer Ken Bates, and every decent player sold, we employed somebody the worst managers in our history, wise hoowell, humpty Dumpty etc
Surely nobody has suffered the above like we have
You don't even know you're born.
Well, since 2001 we've had entire teams sold, we've had administation and liquidation (resulting in the exact same owners buying us back under a new name), 2 relegations (without the promotion you've also enjoyed), being dumped out of every cup as early as possible, had to suffer an owner who nobody's seen and who has us playing 35 miles away in Northampton in front of a handful of people. You're mid-table in the Championship right now, I can't remember what that's like.
I should also stress that our malaise is only in the last 13 years so we don't deserve a spot anywhere near the top of a list of long-suffering fans, as I know most of the league would have killed for 40 years in the top division and an FA Cup.
