We’d be getting the short end of the stick in that deal. Ours is a far superior, better looking, safer and more historic stadium than that fizzhole will ever be. They literally have pink seats!

Athelwulf Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A merger with Sheffield FC is the only one worth talking about. You see, it's the Arabs' dosh we need, not bigger gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I mean, it's obviously a weird OP, but it's worth saying that it's nonsensical to think that a merger might be suggested by "today's climate". It's not just the disparity between the clubs. It's that it would only be worth doing if you could build some kind of brand with international appeal, and that wouldn't happen. It baffles me that people who take an interest in football don't realise the scale of change, still accelerating, of the past two decades. But: counterfactually, I suspect it might have been able to work in its own terms when the clubs were in relative positions of strength in the 1990s, and the revolution hadn't really begun. I think the new club could have been attractive to some serious backers, and in those days the scale of backing needed was tiny compared to now. But that would depend on existing fan bases getting behind it, and they wouldn't have done so. Rightly so. We support Wednesday or United, not some notional third club, and above all you don't support a club because you believe them to be successful. Any of us could support one of the big clubs if we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest T Hardy Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Should put this in the Blades thread in the general football chat section. I’m sure it will go down well amongst our fans who care more about the Blades’ failure than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissmess Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If it comes to a choice of disappearing or merging, who knows. Its unlikely given the disparity between us now, given their parachute payments. There's room for two clubs in the city, even if one ends up being semi pro. We may well have missed the boat now. Too late to do anything but drift to wherever we end up. Not a pretty sight, but living in an area of former coal pits, we all know what happens when there is a seismic shift in economics. Its a ruthless world and no one owes us any favours. Sold our club abroad to anyone who wanted to try for a fast buck and some kudos. We can hardly claim the moral ground in a cesspit of whoring clubs and pimping agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I'm afraid I'm going to report this thread...not only to the mods but to social services. Anyone who will make his young kids walk to Chesterfield, Barnsley or Rotherham for a football match needs to be removed from the site @Owlstalk Admin Team Edited June 15, 2021 by daveyboy66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wharncliffeowl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm trying to see the bigger picture. Looking 30 years and more ahead. Yes if we merged tomorrow those of us around today would find it difficult/impossible to accept. But what about future generations who might get to see the benefit of a single,stronger city club? I'm sick of seeing both clubs in the city the size of Sheffield plodding along achieving nothing while respective supporters are just happy to have a higher standing than the other.

Obviously last season has left you deranged. I suggest you go for a lie down. Jeez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
