Totally agree. First time I've ever looked this past couple of weeks and gobby and arrogant are a couple of other words I'd use for some of our fans taking the time to create accounts and log in on other clubs' forums. They obviously think it makes them look clever while it makes us all look like belltips. I can only go by what I see on here and I don't see many others doing it (unless they're blocked maybe) which makes me cringe even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've been scanning the Huddersfield forum over the past few days. I really don't get where our "arrogant" tag comes from which we have thrown at us from them and our porcine neighbours. For the most part I find Wednesday fans to be well grounded. A palpable desire to get back to the top for sure but in no way is there a sense of entitlement. Maybe I'm biased but I just don't see how we are seen by other clubs as arrogant.

To be perfectly honest, it does show sometimes. Some posters on here talk as though it was a god given right to roll over Huddersfield. Many are talking about who the best option in the final is before we've even dealt with the semi final. Then there is this embarrassing term "tinpot". I wish that word could disappear back under the stone it came from. And the continuous obsession with attendances - Sheffield Wednesday have gone through some pretty low ebbs over the years (ask some of the long termers on this forum what attendances at Hillsborough were like during the seventies).

And the continuous obsession with attendances - Sheffield Wednesday have gone through some pretty low ebbs over the years (ask some of the long termers on this forum what attendances at Hillsborough were like during the seventies). Agree with this. We are a big club but so what - the only real entitlement comes from points in the table and right now the aggregate over 2 legs. Udders won't roll over and why should they. I remember the 70s and we were terrible. I also remember (just) the late 60s, as well as a decent team in the 80s and very good team in the early 90s. It means nothing other than the memory of what's gone, and a sense of some injustice at the way it happened. I think this feeds into a sense now that it's just time we were back up - it's like being close to the front of the queue and getting impatient. I'm sure everyone realises that if we're going to do it then we have to do it on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think majority of our fans are quite down to earth about things but I have to say I do see some really arrogant posters on here and social media. Some people do label every other club as 'tinpot' and the couple of season of relative success in the early 1990's you would think was a 20 year trophy laden dynasty but some thing I have read.

Bob Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 You come across arrogant, ignorant people in all walks of life so we are bound to have a few. Also there is a tremendous age difference, I would think on here between about 12 - 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look obsessed. A lot also think we will win just by turning up. Mental attitude Short memories - we have been pretty average at home for large parts of the season and the onus is on us to press from the off, something we aren't too good at.

ashamanic Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 There are trolls on any forum. they have people who will come here, scan through all the threads to find an arrogant comment and post it as though it is what most people think. The majority of people aren't going to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Seeing as admin or mods won't allow swearwords on here, how about a filter on 'tinpot'? Change it to 'small club with reduced fanbase but competing at a decent level'. Clubs such as Burton will probably be playing us next season..... and they've deserved it. We were playing Rushden and Dagenham not long ago so we aren't exactly Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
