Generally speaking the divisions look a lot like I’d expect. Hard times, but we’re all Wednesday. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Morepork Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Right now we feel like a tin pot outfit with a big stadium. There is so much work to do if we are to ever be massive again. Edited July 23, 2020 by Morepork 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get some decent forwards then you never know what might happen (I know, I know, clutching at straws). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Every season is different. I hope we are in this division next season and if we are I'll be hoping for playoffs as a minimum. (minus 21 points notwithstanding, if that happens I'll be hoping for survival and will celebrate it like a promotion if we pull it off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to turn around fortunes quickly in footy but plenty needs to change for that to have any chance of coming to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is telling me that they brought in Wilder with the plan of getting to the Premier. It was desperate move meet by gloom and despondency by the fans accusing the club of giving up.

We wer only massive in the 30s and 60s..we will never see big crowds again on a regular basis...even when we we had a great team in the early 90s our crowds wer average..in fact there weren’t that many more home fans than we got last couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get some decent forwards then you never know what might happen (I know, I know, clutching at straws). Promotion from the championship is generally up for grabs for most teams simply because: - most of the teams are so inconsistent - you don’t normally see many teams spending big bucks as most budgets are similar - The last few seasons have shown how few points separate the top 10 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
