I don't understand why you can't see that. Lets just move on eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Di Catio Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Already have, can't win when you have the power to delete and moderate when I don't My point was that others who've seen its been deleted could think all manner of things and presume I put something racist/ offensive/ derogatory when it wasn't. All it was, was my low opinion of the band that is forced upon us, whether we want it or not. I'll try to keep it to primary school language in future.

Having looked back back I can see why it was deemed offensive. You know what you said. Just take a few seconds more next time and try to use "less colourful" expletives. Lesson learned an all that.

Needless to say the locals booed them out of the stadium. Think that says it all about them. Think it says a lot about your mate's imagination.

Owls and Rhinos play on the same day, where do they go? they aren't the kop band, not when something better for them comes along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ive no problem if they want to play at the rugby , ive no problem if they want to play at England games as i dont watch the national team , i just dont want them anywhere near Wednesday games. They are annoying and ruin the singing. Time for them to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm starting a new band next season. Medieval instruments only. We're called The Sh*t Vegans. Our line-up is as follows: Me: Crumhorn Imhotep Spratt; Sackbutt Big Nige: Rebec Sir Alan Sugar: Organistrum, vocals Bob Gunt: Gittern, vocals In addition, we will bring an Aeolian Harp for windier days, with joint responsibility for location and maintenance. You're not allowed an opinion on the band unless you stood the row in front of them at Norwich on Honolulu Wednesday Weekend. I did and they were very annoying.

Struggling to make the connection dnhc tbh. We are talking about paid/sponsored trumpeters that are by all accounts viewed by the majority as a load of cack and self-serving. Not your choices as a free to associate paying customer for events of ypur choosing. There is no comparison to be made in your post at all.

I think most people realise that I am not a fan of the band. I wish they would just go. However, for a balanced argument, is it that the "Leave" campaigners, like me, are more vocal on a forum where you are almost anonymous, and the "Stay" camp is just not vocal enough? Persoanally, I don't believe this is the case, but our forum only represents a section of our total fan base. Okay, we have over 28,000 members on here, but how many fans really want the band gone, and how many just don't care either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the stay camp have already said their piece and can't be bothered saying the same thing over and over again as it gets totally and utterly boring. Because of this, the ban campaigners give each other a pat on the back and tell each other how great a campaign they have run. At least you're talking sense ChapSmurf even though you're not a fan of the band. Its good that somebody looks at the whole picture and takes an objective view.

Apart from when I go in to crazy mode, once every hour or so, I try and look at things as balanced and as objectionably as possible. There are always two sides to any argument or viewpoint and on this particular subject, neither or us or either right or wrong; it's simply a question of personal choice. I don't know how this situation will get resolved, if it gets resolved at all. From a personal standing, I just think bands, in general, are out of date somewhat and it's time for a change. I don't like the fact that they sell themselves out, and take "our" songs with them, but yet I do understand how this can happen. At the end of the day, there are worse things in the world to have to worry about than a bloke blowing a trumpet and a guy banging a drum (sadly I know this from personal experiences over the last 10 months), but it's still a "Leave vote" I'll be casting.

Guest YellowAway Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's their hypocrisy that grates the most with me. Paid or not (and I guess paid actually makes it slightly worse), how many Wednesday fans would stand with Leeds fans (United and Rhinos are the same fans btw), let alone play instruments to assist them? Of those that support the band please answer whether you would do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
