Fuckin hell that's given me a headache

 

[Otis]

Me too. With worry.

 

[Grendel]

Me too. With worry.

Let's hope we are more reading than Chester,

 

[Otis]

Well that was two things I was worrying about.

One that for many teams there it has seemed to remain quite static over all these years and secondly that a few teams there are now non-league, Mansfield, York, Chester, Grimsby.

 

[canleykid]

[Otis]

My worry is that in 40 years we will still be there.
