Catering is unimportant, no fan goes to the game because the pies are better than the local chippy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a successful run in , that has attracted more fans in clouding a green un reader like me It also helps that its nice weather Let's see how attractive 3rd division is if we are 10th and its a cold November day with 1 more pay day until Christmas.

We have done it twice this season, rank upon rank of empty blue seats Then you read this forum, the politics section, the "Tories" section The anger about whats happening at the minute Mention cheap tickets at Hillsborough? and some season ticket holders kick off about it What in the name of f.ook is that all about? Sure some will take advantage, but sod them, some will benefit and if it brings a few Owls fans back, or breeds some new Owls fans What on earth is the problem? Well sed pal.. I feel the same and have a season ticket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not - we're doing really amazing in terms of season ticket holders Long may it continue Let's hope all those up for renewal this summer want to renew and can afford to do so too 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Footy through and through me though I used to enjoy a drink back in the day and had a great appetite to match. Football was always what it was. My bi-product was the Half-time Fothergills Pie with Oxo. Drinking:- I remember Roy Wragg taking a bet at the Cuthber. The bet was 100 pints Monday to Friday in Licensing hours. I watched a couple of session and the final session on the Friday night. Roy completed the task and took the money (not too mean a wedge) The loser congratulated Roy and asked if he'd share a drink. I'll have a pint was his instant reply. Another massive consumer feat was posted by George Parker a Taxi (Private Hire Driver). This was at the Continental Cafe, Langsett Road. Not a bet as such but a challenge set by Old man Fairhurst the Plumber and supplier of Common Side who offered George the challenge of 2lb of Bacon; 2lb Sausage; 1 large tin of beans; 1 large tin of tomatoes a portion of Mushrooms and several slices of toast and a large mug of tea. George downed the lot and Mr Fairhurst enjoyed the watch. George has long since passed and was nudging 25 stone but was a a really nice quiet bloke. All't young set who throw beer and food around instead of boozing and eytin would not enjoy George and Roy having a quiet word in their ear ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsleyowl1996 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 And We will still average 20k + next year. If we’re chasing top 2 probably 23k+ if top 6 chase 21+ would love to be back in high end champ or prem and seeing a packed Hillsborough every week. These last 2 games have been great .

CircleSeven Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Once we are top of the league all season next year it will soon perk up! And if not I believe someone one here has a stack of vuvuzelas for sale which will get things rocking… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they were so good - how it could be in an ideal world I don't think even if we are Premiership that we would sell out every game though - or would we? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
