SiJ Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It was classic Wednesday though: We had that glimmer of hope, that moment of pure ecstasy, Hillsborough becoming unglued...and then 20 minutes later a collective kick in the balls. Supporting this club is not for the feint of heart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivelin Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Relegations have always got to me more than other losses and I’ve seen a few of those since my first attendance in 1957. We can hopefully look forward to automatic promotion with a younger re shaped squad (no guarantee on that) and see a few goals and wins. Then the cycle starts again.

Theres nothing silly about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birstall Owl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 As others have said Arsenal in 93 or relegation in 90 were far worse, especially the latter for obvious reasons. After the first leg I did think last night would be a draw, so maybe that prepared me for the inevitable. Looking forward to opening game of next season now when we get turned over by Forest Green at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Biggest ever disappointments for me Arsenal Cup Finals (by quite a stretch) Huddersfield Play Offs Hull Play Offs Any Relegation Any United defeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Playoff semi to get from division three to division two? I’m a bit miffed but we weren’t ever actually ahead in the tie. So as much as it felt shît last night in a big crowd in truth by the time I woke up I was over it. Im more minded to focus on the season being better and more enjoyable than I thought it would and look forward to the next one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Strangely feel a lot lower than last year. We’ve been down here far too long. this season the team at most had commitment and camaraderie. I feel we’re going to lose some old friends in the likes of Palmer, bannan, hutch, massimo and hunt and it would of been nice for them to leave on a high. the fans have been ace especially those games away. Just gutted. my only hope is we can do a good and savvy recruitment in. There has been some outstanding players in division, With 20 goals+ strikers that we need to get hold of.

Kentowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 After 55 years of it, I expect nothing more. Great if they prove me wrong but I don't hold my breath. Had even decided that I wouldn't bother with the final had we got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think what hurts most is just more realisation that nothing ever happens for us. No matter how well supported we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just the kind of half arsed performance on a big stage we’ve come to expect. Time for several players to move on and reduce both average age of squad and wage bill to match our League One status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’m just plodding through the day without the extra zing that a win would have brought. I keep getting flashbacks of Gregory’s goal and their equaliser. I have to say though at no point did I think that we would win the tie, either of them, not even when we scored . I absolutely expected them to nick the winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the main it’s been a pretty dire experience following this club. The only consistent thing is the hurt I feel at yet another opportunity not taken. You’d think you’d become numb or indifferent, wouldn’t you? Last night was another example of feeling empty and wondering when we are actually going to turn it all round and start moving forward once more. Almost exactly how I feel. Since 1966 I've had about 8 decent seasons and won one trophy. Never been Champions of any league. Our fans are the best in the country and deserve so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fife_owl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Totally drained today. However, at the end of the day, it’s not life, death, food, rest - so tomorrow back to work and wait for the next season, ready to join the ride again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I was annoyed last night, but not today. When you switch on the news and see schools being bombed in the Ukraine, it kinda puts it into perspective a little? Well, for me, anyway. Besides, I didnt expect play offs going into this season, so it was a bit of a bonus. Next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOwlsofDodworth Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 In the moment, yes, very. The atmosphere, being around other fans in the passion. But pretty much seeing the positives the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
