  1. Hoarding a pile of money!? We're losing millions on millions every year, all by his decisions admittedly but the whole clap trap that hiking ticket prices somehow makes him wealthier really gets on my ******** as its so pathetically out of synch with reality. It makes him lose less money, yes, of course it does... but hoarding cash. Get a grip of the real word of football. For the record I'm a very vocal anti chansiri but reality needs to be acknowledged. The reason we lose money is because income is less than expenses, the expenses are decided by chansiri and thus his fault and arguably his problem (our club etc etc aside) but the way football is you almost have to lose money. The whole pyramid is knackered. I'm in no way defending the running of the club but people saying he's hiking prices to line his pocket are either thick as mince or... well, no, they're thick as mince.
  2. Lost my dad before my little one came along. I've got to say that is an absolutely superb picture. Bravo sir.
  3. Yep, I'll be honest, they were good and thet fair assessment from fellow owls is superb and in keeping with our class. However they're a bunch of bitter inbred two hats and I'm lowering myself to their standards for an hour or two and pissin me sen, unlucky, you dingle ******** wombles!! I hope you implode and get relegated next season! Oooo, feels nice that!
  4. A great statement, because he was. I'll never forget him sprinting across the pitch or on the end of season videos. We'll still comment now that when a physio is slow he's no Alan Smith, an absolute legend and I'm genuinely gutted he's gone. A lot of these threads lose steam after a few posts and are a nice RIP, I hope this shows and his family knows just how much he was loved by The Wednesday.
  5. But why not? Some supporters are better than other's aren't they? Is one who goes to every match not a better supporter than the one who just goes to one? Said it numerous times but I really don't get why it bothers people, do the same analogy with a band and no one cares, throw football in and everyone gets their back up...
  6. You've also just nailed my point, there are a lot of people who have excuses not to go, always something on until a big game comes around, I've loads of mates like that, they cba turning up on a Tuesday but then moan they cant get tickets somewhere. Support is hierarchical, You put in the effort you get the rewards. I'm a 5 out of 10 wednesdayite, I'll get to every home match but no chance of away, you know why, because better supporters get them first and i prioritise my family. I am not as good as others, you may get irked by that and again I apologise but for me, its just the truth
  7. A very fair post mate, apologies if it irked. Its not just monetary though, its effort, its time, its all the work involved in supporting the club. If someone puts in more effort, more time and yes more money than I do then they are a better supporter of swfc than me. I'm going to see the arctic monkeys in Sheffield, I've a couple of albums. There will be people in that crowd who have pictures on their wall, every album, go to every gig, stand at the front... they're bigger fans of the arctic monkeys than I am. Why is this rationale not acceptable in football? Genuine question.
  8. Errr have you read my post? I'm saying a lot of people are much better supporters than I am, I've no issue with that, I think that's the truth, they put more into the club than me. Not exactly saying I'm an uberfan am I. I still don't get why people get so wound up by this....
  9. Yes we are all WAWAW, but some people put more in than others, more money, more effort, more time. I really don't understand why this offends people, a guy I know has been to every game this season with his lad, home and away. He is a better supporter of swfc than I am, he's made more effort, he's been there more, he's injected more into the club.... i really don't get peoples issue with stating the truth.
  10. I don't disagree pal, but the we're from Yorkshire and a spades a spade. Is your mate a full on owl, absolutely, I'd be hugging him in a bar or the kop or wherever. But he's not as good a supporter as me. It's a fact. I'm not as good a supporter as about 2000 people who go to every away match.. that's a fact. I can't understand why that offends people, unless you know you're not giving as much as can....
  11. But it's a fact of life. The whole claptrap about don't make me less of a fan because I don't go is wholly just that, you are less. I've had a season ticket for 25 years but you know what, my nephews and the majority of the away fans are better, bigger fans than me. I don't understand why it's taboo. Would I prefer to go to an away match or see my daughter..I chose a day with my daughter. Does that make me less of a fan, absolutely 100% it does, I'm not as good a supporter of swfc as a lot of people.. I'm very good, but not that good. I suspect the ones kicking off know they're not good at all....
  12. Blood and sand. I remember Moore getting someone in to help their mentality when we couldn't win from behind, how long was it, 18 months? There's a lot of the same players still about....a leopard and all that. I'm not going to chastise as its not their fault, it's just in their make up....but we desperately need more mentally tough players.
  13. My dad. My family. I'm not sure I had a choice, it was in me. My little one doesn't, she's going tomorrow and she knows the answer to 'who do we support'.
  14. Absolutely I do include myself, anyone who doesn't think they turn into a raging tool when entering a football ground is severely lacking in self awareness!
