Brought it home how our plight/potential/history is appreciated by so many neutrals - anyone else see the warm references to us on Late Kick Off last night? We're loved.

Which is more than can be said for the likes of SUFC. That sort of groundswell of support and history is priceless.

Anyway, let's aim for this, below ... the battle starts (again!) this weekend. We WILL win. We WILL stay up.

Article below is nicely visualized in link to article:

Football crazy

Europe's most valuable football fans

Mar 2nd 2010 | From The Economist online

EUROPE'S most sucessful football club off the pitch, measured by revenues for the 2008-09 season, is Real Madrid. The Spanish side raked in just over €400m ($560m), according to a report by Deloitte. But the club that takes the most from its fans directly is Chelsea, also currently top of England's Premier League. By comparing matchday revenues to average gates it seems that English sides do a bit more nicely from their devoted followers fans than continental teams. This reflects not only the relatively high cost of tickets but also the large number of pricey corporate boxes at English grounds.
