Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted yesterday at 19:48 Posted yesterday at 19:48 Looking forward to losing against Bromley if Bromley get promote from league two automatically or via the playoffs
Stoop Posted yesterday at 19:51 Posted yesterday at 19:51 I’m usually ok about league one until I realise we’ll have to play in the f***ing papa johns (or whatever it’s now called) trophy again
Stoop Posted yesterday at 19:55 Posted yesterday at 19:55 “Who’ve Wednesday got at home this weekend?” ”Bromley at home” 8

I was a toddler when we won the League Cup, and not even a teenager the last time we were any good in the Premier League. The first time we dropped into League One in the 00s, I’d drifted away from Wednesday and football entirely. My first real memory of it all was basically: “We’ve done what…? We’re getting relegated from the second tier??” And that really cemented my wilderness years, where I could barely name a player. It was the play-off win to get out that pulled me back in. It kind of recalibrated me to not expect Premier League football and just enjoy a new phase—however sad. But I also thought that was it. Fast forward to our second spell down there… I’d started going again, went to nearly every home game in 10/11 and a few away. But I HATED it—the whole third-tier vibe and the teams. Still, I was firmly back as an Owl. Then I got a season ticket for the next season, the promotion one over the pigs… and I vowed to never follow us again in L1. Thought that was the end of that. Then it happened again, and I wanted to ignore us until we got back up. BUT we were actually decent, Moore was great, and I ended up watching intently. It was more exciting than a Championship relegation scrap or a boring mid-table finish. But still—I said never again. Last time we came up I vowed never ever ever ever again. And this time… EUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. How can I not follow every game if it’s the dawn of a new era? But it kills me. It kills me because it was SO avoidable, and it kills me because I promised myself I’m not wasting my finite time on this planet watching Forest Green, Dagenham & Redbridge, Yeovil... you get the picture. MK fkn Dons. AGAIN. AGAIN WITH THIS. Watching highlights where you can see terraced houses behind a stand. The inevitable slip-ups against teams you’ve never even heard of. Meanwhile a division below bloody Wrexham. Being BANG in form then losing away in a “derby” to Rovrum and watching the whole thing fall to bits. Then!!! There’s always some OTHER team down with us like Norwich, plus some random new-money southern team that just tears the league apart so even with 90+ points you still don’t get automatic. The fixtures come out and your heart sinks. Who even are these teams? How are we even playing them? I’m now looking at L1 hoping Barnsley go up just so we’re not scrapping with them and having high-stakes derbies. We’ve also come up in the second season each time, which feels a bit lucky to be honest—statistically another play-off win isn’t very likely. Again… again… are you actually kidding me? I have one more stint in L1 in me. And it’s only because the tyrant imbecile has finally gone. But please, for the love of God… no more. 2/10 poo flounce. Good old Taz
