Inspector Lestrade Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Turkey Owl said: Remember going to a match in that division (it was called Division 3 in those days). We played a certain Sheffield United and had rather a good time along with 49,000 others. Also remember being in that division and playing a certain Arsenal in the FA Cup. Went to 4 of the 5 matches. Not all doom and gloom in the lower reaches. Remember one freezing night at home think we were playing Exeter with 7000 there. Just wishing after about five minutes for the ref to blow the whistle it was that cold. It's not all doom and gloom in the lower reaches but it plays a big part of it.

If we were top of the league and 20 points clear I wouldn’t enjoy it. I only enjoyed it last time because of the rivalry with the pigs. and the constant "mind the gap" comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Back in the day, away days were fun, but all that’s gone now. Without your near neighbours to compete with, there’s nothing, we will become irrelevant Just another, so called, big club living in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 1 hour ago, WalthamOwl said: completely agree. People can argue all they want but seeing united in the Prem and us possibly being in league one makes it even more embarrassing. No worries with that. We will all just have to self isolate for another 12 months, and in that way lower our chances of coming across a pig in the meantime who would gloat over our demise. In the meantime, we will have built up a whole new team to bounce back at the first attempt with a record points haul. Simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are relegated with points deduction, there is a real chance we may not play any games at all next season. That's the silver lining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the last time it happened (75-76) they started sinking faster then the Titanic. Remember at Christmas taunting them with such gems as: Oh come all ye faithful, 5 points is disgraceful and What's the difference between United and the Star of David? Star of David has more points!

nickswfc Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 We can only 'bottom out' so many times, it felt necessary back in 2003, finally got rid of the big earners and there was a huge novelty with the away grounds. We even saw a big increases in home attendances. But a third spell there, is just embarrassing with no positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 If we went down, we’d need to get straight back up. It would be a good place to give a younger team a go but look at Ipswich and Sunderland and prior to them the blades (6years!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
