Popular Post Welsh76 Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 There are over 40,000 excess deaths since March, hundreds of thousands of people are about to lose their jobs (as the furlough scheme ends) and people are genuinely angry that we’ve been told that we start next season on -12 points. It really is just football; I don’t care what division we play in, it’s a day out for me and my boys to bond and have a collective interest. For that match day we travel up from South Wales talking about the game, what we think will happen, the anticipation, the excitement, but most of all it’s a chance for me to share my love for Wednesday with my sons. Whether we win, lose or draw, we talk about the game on the long way back home (usually fighting through traffic) and we listen the the other scores from around the grounds, cheering when certain teams lose and booing if they win. These are precious times for me that I will always remember. At the end of the day we were here before Chansiri and we’ll be here after Chansiri. He’s made mistakes, many of which will hurt him financially as much as his ego, but no one at the club wants us to suffer, despite any ‘creative’ accounting that has happened. This is a time that we all need to pull together, because 2020/21 will be a very challenging season not just on the pitch but off the pitch with real life situations (job, health etc..) Next season is going to be a challenge, but I’m ready for it.. WAWAW 45 17 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than the drama queens, many of whom were spaffing it up the wall when we signed Rhodes. We all have bigger things to bother about 5 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So at what point is it justifiable to get upset about something that has played a massive part of people’s life since they were kids being flushed down the toilet? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no time is your life being "Flushed down the toilet" The future is yet toe happen, and next season is a new chapter in the long history of SWFC. We are still in the championship and weather we get a 12 point deduction or not will not alter the fact that we were never going to bother the top 6 of this league with the rebuilding needed. We will finish comfortably in mid table, about 10th, next season, but if you feel that is failure and you cannot hold your head up, then by all means feel free to with hold your support, both financially and physically, then that is your prerogative. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 12 point deduction, that's all. Plenty of other clubs have overcome that handicap to retain their status over the course of a season. A bad day in the club's history and a very shabby and unnecessary one certainly, but it's not as if we have been expelled from the league or wound up FFS! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
