Taximark Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 And we are just as bad, chilling thought isn't it?... that ten years have passed and this club is still in a shocking state of affairs. Seriously, If we do go down our gates this time round will plummet, in fact, I reckon if we were to have a very average season in League one we could see gates of 14k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Didn't we finish just several points above the Division Two trap door with Turner in charge?! I'd argue that we're marginally better than that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Coming up to 14 years since we dropped from the prem and in that time we've finished in the top half of the 2nd division what? twice? Pretty shocking record for a club like ours. We really have been run terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty shocking record for a club like ours. We really have been run terribly. A club like ours? In what respect mate?...We need to drop this illousion that we are something more than a yo yo side going from 3rd to 2nd tier. Granted the fans set us apart but just look around on match days at Hillsborough. Cheap, soulless, shell of perhaps a once great football club. The entire ground needs knocking down if and when the illusive investment arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcar_lights Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I hear you mate. I think it would be nice to move away from the disaster stigma. To build a ground that we can actually fill on a regular basis, create an atmosphere that doesn't get lost somewhere down tailtone road on a windy day. Lets not get started on the catering I mean it all filters down doesn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatricowl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Turner brought in Whelan, Brunt and Bullen, just can't remember, were they signed for the first team or the development squad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatricowl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 the entire ground doesn't need knocking down at all. Granted some parts need updating but ask the away fans which view gives them a nice view compared to st james pk and old Trafford etc . Most away fans love the away view at Hillsborough Yep, that's the impression I get when I talk to away fans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcar_lights Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The place holds awesome childhood memories for me buts it's a ghost of a stadium. It either needs surgery or bull dozing. It's the least of our worries at the minute though so lets avoid a stadium debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl1974 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Deep in the bosom of the gentle night Is when I search for the light Pick up my pen and start to write I struggle, fight dark forces In the clear moon light Without fear... insomnia I can't get no sleep I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness No electricity, something's all over me, greasy Insomnia please release me and let me dream of Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath Tearin' off tights with my teeth But there's no release, no peace I throw and turn without cease Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast At least a couple of weeks Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers But now I keep myself pepped Deeper still, that night I write by candle light I find insight, fundamental movement, uh So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack I gets no sleep I can't get no sleep I can't get no sleep I can't get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We're not as bad as 10 years ago...no way. We're in a better league, we have a better team, we have a better academy, we are financially more stable. It's pretty sh*t right now. But we're no where near the lows of back then.

FlyingOwl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 No. They were my first and worst seasons supporting Wednesday. We are now a Championship teams, with a good base to work from but the wrong people in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It was ironically a game v Bournemouth when we lost 1-0 and it was abject. I got to my Mum's after the game in High Green and proclaimed that was me done. 20 minutes later Turner had gone and i reversed my decision. At times yesterday whilst accepting it is not that bad it felt nothing had really changed since that match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well that match 10 years ago was a personal low in watching Wednesday. Ok i went to the game in 76 when a defeat would have consigned us to Div 4 but i was a whipper snapper then I thought post the bourbon crew and a well known football man coming in with MM, and a clean slate of sorts financially that we would have progressed on the field. However the football first half was so poor yesterday, couple that with no manager and financial problems, the owner seemingly dis-interested, the lack of a visible long term plan and it just felt as shambolic as that Turner era. It isn't but the feelgood factor has gone and the future direction of swfc really concerns me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
