Guest coheed Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) It'd be interesting in a few seasons to get a City fans perspective. I mean a fan that followed them across the country back when they were in League One to where they will be in a couple of seasons basking in C/L glory but having had to watch it on TV as the £ got too much. Obviously it's the dream to want to become as sucessful as you can be, but at what price? The higher you go the further the club gets from it's real fan base, and maybe the lesser the connection to the club.

viva hate Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 We are Sheffield Wednesday, anything less than the top division is failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Let me see, do I prefer watching us beat Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and the like, or do I prefer watching us beat Wycombe, Yeovil and Exeter. That's a toughie. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyomingowl Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I want the Owls back where they belong. It is the only way I will get to see them on a regular basis. I take your point about diving and whining but thats in every league now. I worry more about the low standard of the officials. Hopefully they can get that squared away in the future. Hope fully Milan & co follow some baseball teams attitude that it is better to have lower ticket prices but more fans in the seats UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I kind of know where the OP is coming from. Last season was fantastic, we were winning games week in week out, pulling good crowds and taking huge away supports. But if we went up to the PL we would likely be scraping around in the bottom 8. I hate seeing teams like Wigan and West Brom (not this year to be fair) having a champaign fuelled celebration at finishing 17th, there is no glory in that for me. There would be very little entertainment in seeing us win 10 games a season and get turned over by Arsenal 7-1 at their places and being on ESPN at 5:20 or against some no mark team on a tuesday night on Sky. I would love to get back to the premier league but only if we are going to be able to genuinely compete at the right end (I'm not talking about top 4 obviously). That and having to pay £45 for an away ticket at QPR or £50 at Arsenal etc. But having said all that I'd still bite your hand off to give it a crack! Just not bothered...

OwlsfaninNorway Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) A dogfight to stay up, stupid match days, stupid kick off times, foreigners rolling around on floor after minimal contact, stupid prices. The championship is like the old div 1 was in the early 90's, late 80's. I wouldnt say no if we went up but is it really going to give the enjoyment factor that we have had this season and potentially next? Does the pope sh!t in the woods? Do we want football to exist?

Goatboy Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Look at what Norwich and Swansea have done this season. Think any of their fans regret going up? I want to see the best possible players we can get playing in blue and white and I want to see Hillsborough brought up to the standard it could be. Premiership it is.

Blueblood Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 God forbid we ever get good enough to play in the Champions League. That would just be disastrous. Imagine having to watch world class players in real life instead of on tele. The only downside I could possibly see to being in the premier league would be the fact that Milan would sell up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
