shandypants Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I was talking to my mate on Saturday. He loves to talk about Wednesday but he doesn't go to the match (I think that the last match he went to was the Norwich last game of the season when we had to win to stay up - was that about 6 years ago?). He has a good well-paid job but chooses to spent his weekend and his money fishing - he enters matches up and down the North and Midlands regularly and fishes for fun when not entering matches. That's fine, who am I to criticise him? I won't criticise him for how he chooses to spend his weekend but he doesn't half frustrate me at times when he talks about Wednesday because he's an "authority" on The Owls but he gets it all from here. I think he is a contributor to this site also because some of the things we discuss end up on here. Am I wrong to be frustrated with this situation? Is it ok for my mate to have such a strong opinion when he doesn't contribute a bean to the club? I know I'll get hammered for starting this thread but hey-ho.

BARMYARMY2010 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Wouldn't worry about it,there's hundreds of the buggers on here who don't go/contribute to the club,and they all have opinions !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 We have many thousands of 'stay away' supporters who still have an opinion. They will always consider themselves Wednesday fans and many of them will come back when we're back in the big time. I know loads of lads who went to almost every game in the 90's but don't bother any more They still know their stuff when it comes the Wednesday though.

Guest Distraught! Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I know, let's have a world in which nobody is allowed to have an opinion about anything unless you are directly part of or contribute to it. What a fine and happy place the world would become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really then, they shouldn't express their opinion until they return - if they ever do. Edited May 25, 2015 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 i'm in that catagory then , sos folks There is a very good reason that you don't attend Trev and you have attended more than my mate. My mate has the financial means to attend the matches yet doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Frustrated? Your lucky Shandy,my pal bases all his opinion on what he hears on football heaven..aahhhhh .As above there are tons of Wednesday fans who don't go or pick and choose matches,that's their choice too,thing is these days with tele,t'internet n social media you can stay at home and still know/see nearly as much as them that go.

prowl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've not lived in Sheffield since 1981. I haven't been to a home match for years although I do watch the team when they play near where I live. Does that mean I can't support my team and discuss them with fellow fans? If that is the case maybe Owlstalk should insist on checking every posters application and refusing any that can't provide a current season ticket number. I can't see that being a good business plan. Anyone who thinks it is should approach the boss and suggest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallorcaOwl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have a season ticket, I don't go fishing. Can I have an opinion about fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I will get a season ticket for as long as my finances allow. Be that in the Premiership or League 2. Other people will go according to their demands. I would love for Hillsborough to be full every week, but unlike me SWFC aren't the be all and end all of their life.
