Popular Post 31Dec1966 Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 I've always said the 0-0 draw at home to Rushden and Diamonds was my lowest point ever. That looks like being under threat shortly. Next season it is entirely possible that we will be in a lower division than Lincoln City and Accrington Stanley. Also very possible (probable?) that we will be playing, on level terms, Forest Green Rovers, Cheltenham Town and Salford City. Or maybe Morecambe or Newport. Even more worrying is that, at the moment, ALL those teams will probably be mentally tougher than our team. They will fight till the 90th minute. How are we going to charge £36 to watch Fleetwood Town ? How are we going to get someone to even sponsor the ball against Cheltenham Town ? After not refunding loyal supporters (including me) for games missed nearly a year ago, not to mention THIS years ST money, how are the club going to persuade anyone to carry on paying to watch players taking home a normal years salary in a month ? When those players don't seem to mind whether they're playing in a Sheffield derby next season or away at a village team ? There are more important things to worry about in life but, SWFC have been a big part of my life for 50 years and, right now, football-wise, I'm in despair. 17 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very good time. The only thing we can say to the Blunt's is that we have never been in the 4th division, but give DC time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No management of club , recruitment or team This ^ previously in league 1 we either a) had the hope that someone would come along and buy us soon. Or, b) when Mandaric did buy us he got the right managers and signings in that got us promoted. Chansiri and team won’t be capable of running the club correctly for a promotion push, and he won’t sell either 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I felt sick to the stomach before kick off today, as the match played out, first the sending off, and then conceding, I felt un-bothered, which made me realise that I have accepted all that has happened to this beautiful club. And there is only one person to blame. Hate would be the wrong word, but I have no other words for the person I hold responsible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he charges any more than £20 I won't be there and even then I'd much prefer it to be £15 to watch that dross and I mean our team not the opposition. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I feel so fed up with it all tonight, today’s game was a must win game, it wasn’t just that we lost but the way we lost. I feel so angry, upset about what is happening to the club I love. Unfortunately I think it will get a lot worse before it gets any better. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be ok if we could just go back to basics. We’re still a name, have a large fan base and have our history, something those other clubs don’t have. Going back to basics though means re-engaging with fans. So slash ticket prices and get the ground full.. encourage people to take their kids otherwise we will die out within 20 years looking at how old most of our fans are. Then build something sustainable on the pitch.. easy to start with a blank canvas especially now the wage cap has been scrapped. Can’t see our owner doing all this though.. he’ll carry on and on with failed strategy and wait for the fans to stop going and it gets to the point where admin is all that’s left.
