WadsleyOwl Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Have a season ticket, but my enthusiasm for going is the lowest it's been for years. Work Christmas doo on December Friday 15th and I'm going to find it hard turning down the chance of a bit of stinky finger to come from town to S6 1SW to watch a negative backs to the wall display from Carlos's outfit.

s2blue Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 There must be people who post on here who can’t afford to go games but would love to....simple....all the ones who have season tickets but don’t use them because they can’t be bothered,let these unfortunate people go with your ticket lets see who’s willing to actually do this.

It's going to be many peoples works do on the 15th (mine included) so I suspect we will see the lowest crowd of the season but some will use that as a stick to prove that fans have had enough when the truth is most of those missing are at their works xmas do I'm going for a few drinks ...going to the match while they have their meal..... then going back for some more drinks with work mates but I'm a true fan (he he) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the reason why it's so bad atm. It was always going to be pure poison the minute it went to bobbar, because of the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Got a 3 year season ticket so still going to homes but knocked going to aways on the head. Not 100% due to the style of play but one of the reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2 is r nilsson Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I have a season ticket. I haven’t missed a home game in a long time. I get to as many away as I can. This won’t change however we play and whatever division we’re in. It’s a bit like family to me, I remember the great games and some wonderful outings and i’ve felt disappointed and frustrated more often than I can remember. It’s interesting I spend time with Liverpool fans and Arsenal and quite a few from lower leagues, and the highs and lows are very similar, just at the level the teams are in. We’ll be up soon enough in the Premier League again and i’ll look back on this year and think well I enjoyed Fulham and the derby for those few moments I was jumping around like a big kid. The memory of the 4 hours coming back from Bolton stood up all the way with a lad being sick on my foot will hopefully fade! When I sing about Wednesday til I die and because of Boxing Day etc etc it really means something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your point...but, excluding Irvine (who was the worst manager we've ever had imo) there's an expectation element you're blindly ignoring. The Gray/Jones era involved players who were below average compared to the rest of the division. In order to compete, we had to develop a style of play that allowed us stay in games. The football wasn't great under either of these managers, but it was easier to watch, because we had players performing closer to their maximum levels. The football currently is dire. It isn't exciting. But what is worse, is it's allowing inferior teams to compete with us...and easily. Carlos is performing the polar opposite to Stuart Gray's Sheffield Wednesday side. Gray took a side bereft of talent, had to beg, steal and borrow, and produced a side that hugely exceeded expectations. Carlos has had the most backing ANY manager in our long history has had, has a team full of talent and technical ability to work with, and he's currently hugely falling short of expectations. This current situation is inexcusable. Continuing to except this dross, by harping back to other eras when the club had been run into the ground, is ridiculous. We are here, in the now, with a manager that has been exceptionally well backed, and the fact there's even a debate about this very subject, is enough to conclude that Carlos simply has to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well we definitely had a meeting As I am not Mandaric I can't say for certain but the Co-op certainly made him aware of the meeting, they were monitoring the website and if you ask Steelowl who was more at the frontline then he is sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well I'll be going, and hoping we do well, not belly up so I can have a moan like some. WTID. Missed 2 league + 4 L.Cup at home since '63, some via medical problems. Wasn't it great when we could all say WAWAW ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not blindly ignoring anything I’m just stating fact about the quality of football. I’ve said loads of times we should be doing better and even though the teams put out by Gray etc cost peanuts in comparison it doesn’t make the football that was served up any better.

But it makes it far more acceptable as a fan to stomach. I honestly, cannot understand why anybody would compare the Gray era to this current one...in order to add support to the current situation.
