dunsbyowl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 But according to this wacky commentator Wednesday showed a lot of Spunk and could look forward to played Sheffield United in the 1st Division the next season. The day also markes the longest period we have been outside the top Division :-( and we won't be played Sheffield United next year. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Don't thinks we were technically relegated that day. Needed about an eleven goal swing on last day didn't we? EDIT- thinking about it think we needed the win- apologies! Edited May 9, 2015 by RUMBELOWS91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I want to plus you Dunsby but, the material is making me sad enough to want to call the Samaritans. How bloody depressing. We need to get back and quick. F*&k me, longest period out of the top flight. Mr C needs to fix this ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaton_Swfc Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I remember roaring about us getting relegated , I was only 8 to be fair but I remember coming home from the home game the week after and my dad explaining we wouldn't be playing Man.U or Arsenal anymore , but then saying it'll only be for a couple of years though I'm now 22 and we've been dogger ever since.

Birstall Owl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The worst thing for me as well is we've never looked like getting back either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I can still remember listening to that game on the radio. To be fair, if we managed up stay up that season then it was only delaying the inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I was there, my 19th birthday. Should have won, even that toe rag De Bilde scored. Still painful 15 years later, turning 34 doesn't help either Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hopefully the 15+ years of pain will be worth it when/if we get back. We should be much better behind the scenes. I live in hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 How depressing...15 years is half my life to this point. When I was a kid, I just assumed that Wednesday were, always had been, and always would be, one of the biggest clubs going. We finished 3rd in my first season going to matches with my dad, and then came the cup finals, European football and frequent top half finishes. We had Waddle, Hirst, Bright, Sheridan, Palmer, Pressman, Nilsson, Worthington, Walker, Pearson... - we were a great team to watch and we had players that the other 'big clubs' wanted, too. When we got relegated from the Premier League, I naively believed we'd bounce straight back and would soon return to the top table. If you'd told me at 15 years old that we'd spend 15 years and counting outside the Premier League, including 4 seasons in the third division, I'd have laughed in your face and assumed you were a United fan. It's been a long, hard slog being a Wednesday fan since 2000. Not once have we looked even remotely likely to challenge for top flight football again and in fact the club's very existence was in the balance at one point, which seemed simply unthinkable even on that dark day 15 years ago. The level of support we still enjoy is simply outstanding when placed in that context and thankfully it looks like we might finally be close to regaining the football club the fans deserve. For the first time since this day 15 years ago, we have genuine reasons to be optimistic about our chances of Premier League football in the near future. When I think back to how exciting it was to watch Wednesday taking on the likes of Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool etc... as a kid, and the fact that an entire generation of Owls fans have grown up without knowing what their club can truly be, it can't come soon enough.
