Every Weds fan I know, who went to games when we were a big deal, has a similar attitude. They think football is the same as before. It isn’t. They think Wednesday have a god given right to walk lower leagues and should be playing like Barca. In reality, Wednesday have played like this every season I’ve been a supporter. It wasn’t even that pretty when we made the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once he’s sat back and let the manager get on with the job, it’s just that he’s left the task to the wrong man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the disappointments of the past make it harder to find hope. But still .. we would not be here, if we would not still care deeply. Up the owls!

Since I was 24 it was always more likely to be time with my kids home and away. My daughter especially has been a home and away fan since before she was walking Maybe that's where I've been going wrong!

Some people didn’t understand where I was coming from, or what my reasons were, they just presumed I was some sort of traitor. It wasn’t that, it was the anxiety Wednesday give me and how I could better use my time… and the lack of enjoying the actual football aka (pantomime/poker game/cheating). I’m still attending home games and still feel the same. Thats just it though...sport is supposed to be a leisure activity. Of course that doesnt mean we expect to win all the time, who does? But at least some effort and try a bit. Tteating the fans a bit better would help too. Its not pleasurable or enjoyable and thats why I am not going to games anymore or spending any more money on the club..that's me done. I'll look at final score but no more checking progress of the game as it goes on...I don't care enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not renewed for this season, couldn't face it any more. Just goes to show the damage one person can do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was guaranteed, I think many fans would be prepared to take the hit. Sadly, I think Moore is likely to get at least till Christmas as our play-off hopes fall away. Moore talking about targets in the next transfer window is not a good sign, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 For me it's becoming a general disinterest in football. To achieve anything major needs money a lot of it. Wilder spent £135 million I know some we're bad buys (Brewster) but it achieved nothing. For some of the top teams that amount of money is not excessive. Judging by the season so far Notwich look like they'll be happy again to flirt with relegation in the hope that if they go down they'll get promoted next year and collect the parachute payments. Team's like Newcastle happy to stay around mid table. Arsenal's ambition? A top four finish and if they don't get it their fans call it a disastrous season. It's not a sport or a game anymore it's a business, fans are customers and players are a commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more, football is broken and corrupt, and I've never felt so disenchanted with the game, and Wednesday. But I've been going to games since 13th April 1964, it's part of me, so I'll keep going until I'm not physically able. Doesn't really make sense but what does? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that’s where the real football is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
