RobHowe Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Sat in a site office in Stoke with shivers going down my spine. Inspirational stuff @latemodelchild - brilliant post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Balls! I wouldn't have just bothered with my half hearted attempt if I had read this first. I feel like I've just charged into a pub to celebrate winning a fiver on a scratch card and saw Fat Billy, the local drunk' being mobbed for scooping the Euro Lottery. EDIT:- In no way am I comparing latemodelchild to a local drunk. I'll keep digging. Edited May 17, 2017 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OasisOwl72 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Great OP. As the great Morrissey once wrote.....do the nerves rule the excitement or does the excitement rule the nerves..................I dunno! Either way, I'm feeling both right now and that's only going to get worse/better as the day goes on. A few pre match Erdingers especially required! Come on Wednesday!

Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amazing OP LMC. I salute you. I am not nervous or stressed at all. We have come on huge strides in the last 2 seasons. If we fail tonight or at Wembley we are in the most competitive open entertaining League in Europe. We have our club back and we can build further for an Automatic spot. We have a squad made up of top top blokes on and off the pitch that 2 or 3 additions can make us even stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'llNeverBeMastered Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I've posted this on the official Facebook page where it was asking for messages of support for the lads, I quoted 'Taken from owlstalk', hope you don't mind. I just think if the players saw this they'd roar with us. Fantastic post. Our time is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't worry, stress or panic. This is excitement. Worry is watching Nick Parker on the steps of the high court begging someone to save us. It's sitting in the corner of your kitchen listening to the radio waiting to hear if we've been put out of business. It's not knowing if our kids will have a team to grow up supporting the way we did. Stress is needing a win against Palace with Leon Clarke and Francis Jeffers up front. It's relying on other results to survive. It's being thankful for last minute equalisers in other games that keep us up. Panic is all of the above being repeated because we've seen it before. It's the Wednesday way. It's the same old same old. It's inviting pressure when we're a goal up. Today isn't about that. Today is why we buy our season tickets. It's why we buy our memberships. It's why we get up at crazy times in far flung countries to listen to the match. It's why we buy on the day. It's why we only watch Wednesday live at Wembley or Cardiff. It's why we always choose a blue shirt or jumper or jacket over a red one. It's why we eschew streaky bacon. It's why we exist. It's our reason for spending time, money and effort week in week out on a few blokes trying to put a ball into a net. It's why we take our kids the way our fathers did. It's why we remember every single one of us who has passed away and keep their memories alive every time we look to them for solace and inspiration. This is why we tried to save our club. It's why we had the time to go protests, the black balloons and the 2 seater Bentley rants. Regardless of how you felt at the time, the ones doing it were doing it so we could have days like today. Tonight we are all Wednesday. Tonight we roar. Made me go from $hitting myself to feeling amazing that did. Best post I've ever read on OT. Poetic.

Dazblur Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I always go back to the; 'I live on Middlewood rd and see Gary Teale driving a two seater Bentley' Quote. Takes me back to the bad time when all had gone crackers. It's a new era which everyone natrually wants to be a part of.
