SiJ Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Should be said that things do change. Not saying we are going to rise from the ashes like the phoenix, but some of the fans of those clubs taunting us right now may be sitting there in a few years time feeling similar to what we are now.

Don't think many people really care what we do outside of the local area. We haven't been relevant in 20 years. That's the best definition of twitter, ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I know it is not that we are more disliked than any other club or are more disliked now than we used to be. Its down to the plain and simple fact that social media gives everyone a voice. Mixed in with society obsession with kicking people when they are down. The proof of this is how the younger generation sees stabbing you in the back fair game rather than a fair fight. Maybe I would be the same if I played video games from 8 years old that show in such graphic detail stabbing and slashing people with the only come back of game over press restart.

BrotherOwlExile Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Jealous of our success lol, said another commentator. Look, there is a point in that - fury from friends of other teams about successful Owls players like Di Canion and Forestieri etc - called them cheats etc. It always happens just think of England fans' assessment of your Maradonnas (1986) and Ronaldos. Also jealous of our ground (yes) and resources and the fact we're just massive really and you stilll see it like when the Owl swoops to a Barnsley etc and signs their best striker. Even if he turns out to be a bit lame onece he rocks up at S10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get the hatred. I always had the impression we were the "second team" for a lot of fans from other clubs. Seems not. For the record I'm not one to ever give it large on Twitter etc, just a casual user. I can only imagine what some of our more vocal fans have witnessed. Very odd. I think you're assuming Twitter means anything at all. Local club fans hating us I can maybe understand, for the most part we've been bigger, better & more successful than them so they want to see us fail, I kinda get it. Clubs outside the immediate area, I really doubt very many of their fans give a throw about us enough to muster up any real hate, I mean why would they, we're nothing to them. Personally I don't hate any other club, not even United...wasted emotion to me, the only rival we have in my eyes are United, which means friendly rivalry, then again I'm old school, not like the teeth gnashers we get today.... the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham, Chesterfield I couldn't care less about, the only thing about them that I ever liked was that they were easy to get to.

latemodelchild Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I think every team who gets relegated sees hate directed their way on twitter. I've pretty much come off it now cos it's just depressing. I wouldn't read too much into it. The massive thing was started by our local rivals fans. Rotherham and pig fans started saying it on praise or grumble etc. They had a bee in their bonnet that we had higher attendances or good away support or summat. Some of our fans picked up on it and started saying it ironically, same way that Derby and Swansea fans say they are intimate with sheep, get it in before other fans do. The comment that is, stop sniggering. Then a few players said it in interviews for a bit of a laugh/nod to the fans. I don't care who hates us. I live in Sheffield and rarely meet fans of other clubs. I hate every other club in the country pretty much but don't spout off about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was, certainly was if I used it & others I know who used/use it....be honest, do you know any Wednesday fan who honestly believes we are a genuinely massive club....maybe there are a few deluded enough to think so but I've never come across one. If you asked me what I 'think' we should be then I'd say based on city size by population we & United should be right up there in football terms, what's Sheffield?, 5th 6th in England, we should be rivaling Liverpool & Manchester but I doubt we ever will..........Sheffield, in my opinion are footballs greatest underachievers.....but I still love it.

Buckwheat Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Maybe we should stop this MASSIVE stupidity. We are a middling team who've been fortunate to see some very good/excellent teams and play in a wonderful stadium, which was always said to generate 4/5000 extra supporters. Truth is we haven't approached a 30000 average since 1967 and that only because we gained fantastic interest from playing in the FA Cup Final when it was THE major football game. We have won only one honour in 85 seasons, although we have had near misses but have played a few seasons in Europe. We tell ourselves how wonderful we are as fans, but that is only when things are going well, otherwise the atmosphere goes from average to toxic. Maybe going down will give us, the fans, and the club a reality check and start from square one. It will now be 2023 before we have any chance of joining the Premier League, scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This probably explains why some might dislike us recently, but in general I always find that we’re much more popular than Sheff U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
