Yeah but that doesn't make the match experience any better. The most important thing is that they are competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 1 minute ago, Inspector Lestrade said: We had a flag made for the Rotherham Owls the lad who did it. Had it done in no time at all. Reckon once they have the design and material the actual printing doesn't take all that long. When we came out the ground after the League Cup final victory against Man Utd they were selling t-shirts in the car park celebrating our victory with the scoreline on it.

I am amazed at the reaction to this. These clubs and the Premier League have absolutely stolen the game over the past 30 years - tickets that fans can't afford, hiding all of their fixtures on high cost TV. As I have said before, the viewing figures for BT Sport, Ifollow and Sky are appalling. Less than 1 in 50 people in the UK typically watch a Premier League game on Sky. BT is even worse. Football has turned into a popular sport that barely anyone watches anymore. It is a highlights sport now - a youtube 10 minutes - and people enjoy talking about it more than actually watching it. SWFC no different - the worse part of it is actually watching Sheffield Wednesday play. The best bits are everything else including owlstalk. What is happening here is like having a nose hair gently pulled out, having been beaten black and blue every day for the last 30 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it that FA Cup from 1991 or the league title from the 60s that got them in the super league? Indeed. A team that hasn't even won the Premier League thinks they deserve to be called a world class team in a closed shop competition. Beggars belief.

If we have a league to draw away the teams that have an unfair advantage because they appeal to masses of Asian and American fans we can get back to teams being supported by their local areas and have the money to spend on what the local community funds them with. It will become more competitive. Everyone says football was better in the old days! people can't start changing their tune now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
