Mole Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Leave him alone, his beloved Leeds Rhinos are bottom of the league. Must be a tough time for him and the rest of the freeloading cnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the misfortune of being talked at by Hemmingham once whilst travelling to an away game, it was all "I've done this", and "I've been there" and "I've met him". It was like that bit in Airplane when the old woman hangs herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere at Wembley had diddly squat to do with the tooters and parpers. Had no idea they were there my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daavies; Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I actually like the band. Many times this season the atmosphere was completely dead and they try and get something going. It's knowing when to play that frustrates me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically there was a period in the home semi final where the atmosphere needed effecting (it was the 10-15 minute period after FF's goal was disallowed) and they didn't do it because they can't do it, neither the fans or players are lifted by them. They're as much a relic of a bygone era as Geoff Hulley, Kaven Walker, Geoff Sheard et al, time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by someone I know very well that they get paid for playing at Leeds Rhinos. When my friends said to they had sold out, the response was, something to the effect of "do you get paid in your job? I have to earn money too." Well then get a real job like everyone else, sunshine. No true 100% Wednesday fan would degrade the honour of our club and their own support, by standing side-by-side with L**ds fans, playing Marching On Together and WALAW. The time for them to go was years ago. I have zero time for them. Yes, they may get the occasional song going at Hillsborough, but they offer nothing tangible to the overall atmosphere.

This bit shouldn't irritate me as much as it should. I know football fans nick each other's songs....fine. But the fact that it was the 'wednesday' band that started this for Leeds winds me up no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Past Member Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 John and the band are all massive SWFC fans. They helped get SWFC publicity during a time, when the football being played got none. Imagine the conversation: 'John, for the next 15 years,would you & your mates like to play at tournaments/events round the world, sometimes for cash and sometimes for free trip, you're also likely to be needed for a few TV appearances and mix with celebs. It'll include travelling with England to all the corners of the globe.' 'errr no mate, I'll not bother with all that carry on, cause some SWFC fans might think it's disloyal, Go and ask another band' Get a grip. They created an opportunity for themselves from nothing, and took advantage, like we all would. Some right jealous, little nobodies on here.

Happens all the time, footie fans nicking songs..... but the band just seem to take our own songs and do it on purpose. Every song that has been popular with our fans, the band have played at England games. They were even trying the bounce song at one time. We used to sing the great escape (even when we werent in relegation battles) but now it seems more synonymous with England. Cant anything be sacred just to Wednesday? And then they started playing the Crystal Palace relegation theme tune on the Kop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "nobodies", are you referring to the 20,000 plus "nobodies", that for years have collectively contributed to the promotion of our club, without resorting to the use of a musical instruments? I'm not on a wind-up/dig, but in the interests of nutrality, are you a member of, or affiliated, with the band in anyway? So here's my take..... "Hello darling, just to let you know that I'm about to sleep with that person up the road, who you hate. Why? Because they are paying me, and I expect you to accept I will be doing this week in, week out and be let back in to the matrimonial bed, without a hint of complaint" Smacks of nothing short of narcissistic behaviour to me.

wiggy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Had the misfortune of getting tickets bang infront of them at Scotland away a few months back. Had to move, it was unbearable and would have ruined the night. Its a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
