optimisticowl Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just to bring our 'massiveness' into perspective, the quiz show Pointless asked this question. 'Name the most unlikely football team whose name is in the bottom half of the alphabet, that has spent time in the Premier League'. Only 4 members of the audience recalled SWFC's presence, 2 said Swindon for christ's sake, the only saving grace was that the blunts came in at 3. We had better get promoted sharpish, before we become invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm surprised Burnley weren't on that list because they are so pointless. What a rubbish set of players/people they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
