Didnt moan, sang and clapped as did my kids. Stayed in our seats and we're some of the last to leave the stadium. Not all part timers are like that, plenty of regulars leave early. And it's those one offs and part timers that become regulars. We should be glad of this new blood coming into this club, our fanbase is constantly refreshing itself. No doubt there's fans there today in their 70's being coming some a lad. Good job we didn't discourage them on their first visit So I have been reading your many comments over the years believing that you know what you are talking about. And now you admit that you actually only ever attend a match about once every 6 years! I accept the right of so called "supporters" who never go to a game to have the right to spout rubbish on Owlstalk based on no real experience at all but how on earth one of the major contributors to the site can do it based on no real information or first hand experience is quite staggering. I will ensure that anything I read from you in future is in the context of "theoretical supporter only". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffielddart Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Bizarre.... so let me get this right, a selection of our fans don't want : a. Our most exciting player b. Our manager c. Our ground and d. Any extra income to the club from non-regular fans at big matches. Anything about the club that people do actually support :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock1961 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Absolutely pathetic OP and thread, slagging off your fellow fans. Surely the definition of a plastic fan is someone who supports a team because they win lots of things, in days gone by Liverpool and manure. Today that's likely to be City and Chelsea, not a team in the 2nd division scrapping for a play off spot and playing crap football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hugely ignorant to just think people that leave / return to their seats for the sake of it and just to pish off those around them is a thing, come on ffs, engage brains please. I personally couldn't care less how many times that I have to get up / down in my seat at games (trust me this causes me huge pain), to allow people to pass - as I think of others and not just myself, also being able to be empathetic to society and not ignorant to it apart from myself! Firstly I agree there could be people with such conditions I do sit next to some lovely people! But there is one idiot in particular he's only in his early twenties constantly in an out of his seat givimg gip to away fans acting idiot one particular incident at wolves game a friend of his wanted to get out of his seat for toilet he wouldn't let him past so hence been stood up blocking our view an he does these sorts of things regular but I keep my mouth shut this sort of behavior wee wees me off i understand there are genuine cases but let's be real not all fans are saints ? And I'm not bothered that they only turn up once a season it's the fact they seem to know it all bloody useless this team we can't win anything with squad we need to spend big! One guy in particular not many matches ago felt the need to come down to front block my view and give Westwood a good grilling f....ing and blinding there's just no need for It!!! I'm getting at these types of fans that spoil it for others! Genuine people that say excuse me to go loo is all fine I'm a polite enough fan! Just showing my anger at those inconsiderate lot!!!!!

It's not exactly difficult to read the row number and seat number is it! I've been going 20+ years home and away and only ever sat in the wrong seat once (rows weren't labelled very well) at an away game. Yet I see people every game wandering around like they've lost their granny! Baffles me. So someone who's been going 20 years manages to find his seat while someone who hasn't been often doesn't. I'm staggered, it just can't be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Aah, excellent. Just when i was becoming worried that Owlstalk was losing its niche for the cliched & predictable, someone comes along talking about part timers and restores my faith. All is well with the world again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of people who go to every game who talk utter nonsense. Bit like the season ticket holder behind me who said, and I quote "Almen Abdi is the worst player to ever wear the shirt". You'd have thought that the regulars with their superior knowledge of Sheffield Wednesday would know better than this. If I never go to a game all year but spend £200 of my hard earned money on shirts for my kids does that make me a 'theoretical supporter'? My God, we're Sheffield bleedin Wednesday not Real Madrid. We dont have glory supporters here you know. As far as I'm concerned you're supporter as long as you say 'I support Sheffield Wednesday'. Doesnt matter if you attend every game, half the games, no games or do as much as by a pen from the Megastore. All supporters. End of for me.

What's difficult about that? Not much to you and me but there are people who just get confused by stuff. It's ok for most people but you never know why people are asking. Some are thick, some are p*ssed, some have kids with them. It's easy to point people in the right direction. You never know if everyone is nice to them they might get into the habit of going to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the kids navigate if you're struggling they'll clearly have a better idea! Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
