pgmetcalf Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Wealth generates wealth, that's what happens when you let the money men in. Profit now! You can buy success but it isn't gauranteed. Buying top players for instant success has stifled youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I couldn't afford a season ticket I wouldn't do anywhere near as much at Hillsborough. I prefer away games now - enjoy the trips, the atmoosphere much better. I take no interest in what other clubs are doing, who their players are. I never watch Premier League games. I enjoy competing at the right end of the Championship - I'd love us to be promoted - but not if it meant pricing out even more fans. Football has always been about the fans for me. Its being part of that heaving mass of people urging Wednesday on that makes football what it is and so addictive. Ive been so proud over the years of the sheer numbers who travel to watch us, and the vocal support we give. I genuinely enjoy watching my lads team (he manages a Sunday league side of adults who are actually really good) far more than I enjoy my Saturdays (or whatever bloody time/day we've been told we have to play on)... They won a cup at the New York stadium in May - on the same day of our away play off semi at Huddersfield - and theres no way whatsoever I'd have missed that game to go to Huddersfield 4 Yes, that's another thing that p*sses me off - how can you plan routines when they feck about with fixtures so much? football should be Saturday 3pm wherever possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamAP22D Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The money involved and the attitude of some players is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEdwards Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 There was an initial pinch when Shearer went to Newcastle... I'm just completely numb to it now. Surely it can't last though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 With age, I've found neutral games very boring. Unless it's a thriller. I've found the attitudes of fans and player culture annoying more than the money, etc. maybe these go hand in hand though. Players like Sterling annoy me the most I'm grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoOkOut Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I keep hearing people say the money is unsustainable and it will go 'pop' one day ....when ?, the only thing that is happening is a ridiculous amount 5 years ago that was 18million has now turned into 33million so it just keeps going higher and higher and clubs spend more and more . FFP is a joke of a rule that can be got around . Parachute payments are a joke that is grossly unfair however if your a Huddersfield fan that opinion has changed I'm.sure .

The Dukeries Owl Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The fans don't matter anymore, TV rules everything and with the costs of attending games spiralling and so much football on TV we are building future generations of fans who will have never ever been to an actual football match.

Dont watch match of the day at all. England games are boring and dont watch them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyblack Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Allowing big clubs to have 100 players is wrong and then letting them loan out 40,50 or 60 of them is just rubbish. The only reason these clubs have them is to stop other clubs having them. Should be allowed certain number in the club and only allowed to loan a set number out. Say 10 for example. Players woukd have to seek moves then if they wanted to play football. Still far too much power at the top. Go back to 3 subs in all games as well.

NYO Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm going to play amateur Professor of Economics here; The definition of an Asset Bubble - When the prices of securities or other assets (in other words players) rise so sharply and at such a sustained rate that they exceed valuations justified by fundamentals, making a sudden collapse likely - at which point the bubble "bursts". I think this is likely to happen, don't know when, but when it does it will make the Rangers situation seem like a distant rumble of Thunder compared to the sh** storm that will happen to our game. I can genuinely see some very big clubs going pear-shaped and not just UK based clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love watching games on TV as a kid in the 70's and 80's but we are saturated with it. I will never buy any satellite package. Like turkey's voting for xmas - we are the mugs funding the booming prices and crazy wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I don't care half as much as I did when I was younger. I don't know if that's because I've grown up and have other priorities, or because the game has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadABallacks Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not put off per se, but my interest in football is a lot less that it once was. Other than watching the Wednesday away games on Sky that i didn't go to, I must have only watched another 5 or 6 games on top of that last season, most of which were Spanish games. Quite happy just watching MOTD that FL show highlights (only when we have won). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handball_!! Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's an excuse to go and drink some pop on a Saturday with people who I wouldn't see otherwise. There's much more interesting things to do with your life on the other 6 days of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutley - if we were to go up for a season would be decent craic but other than that not really bothered. zero chance of competing for anything meaningful.

matthefish2002 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think my love for professional football has been soured by the cost of tickets and the amount of money you hear even very average players get these days. Feel very little link these days to the players and I include Wednesday players in that. Will always consider myself a Wednesdayite but not prepared to go that extra 10% to watch games anymore like take an afternoon off work or pay £35+ for an away game.

Its becoming sickeningly vile. sometimes I feel same, when very average players are getting 100-200k a week and 50 million transfer fees it makes me sick, id sooner some of that money is spent on making it cheaper for supporters and spending it on facilities and ground. id sooner we bring young lads through any day rather than pay those fees and pay journey men on there last pay day 100k a wk plus.
