League one again though

Northampton is the only current L1 ground I've not seen us play at, we haven't played there for nearly 50 years other than a midweek friendly a few years ago.   Only other chance of a new ground, other than the cups, is if the likes of Bromley, Salford, Barnet get promoted. 

Yeah I thought we'd played at Northampton assumed it was a cup game. Other than that we've played all the others apart the clubs you've mentioned if they go up.

Just to put this one point right at the top: I’m a casual fan. I often represent the “floater” fan.

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.

Sums up the arrogance of our fanbase.

We're a lower championship/upper league one team and that's the reality that the majority of our fanbase refuse to grasp.

The club's mentioned are brilliant little clubs (except mk dons, obviously..) and it's really disrespectful to think they somehow aren't worthy to play us.

I’ll be more settled once the takeover is done and we know who the owners are.

If it’s positive, then game on for League One. It will be good fun.

That's just what your hoping...everyone else are looking forward to the new regime using the last 5 months of the season to make sure we hit next season running

No I’m not. Why would I hope that? If the EFL continue to make it difficult to recruit then how is next season going to be massively different from this. Plus if everyone who disagrees with you is a pig fan then this site is full of em?

I’m ashamed and embarrassed by how happy you all are in league one 

disgusting 

All the other big clubs 

leeds 

forest 

Norwich 

etc etc 

have all had a taste of l1 and premier league in the last 25 years 

we are the only one that’s become an actual l1 champs yo yo club without a day in the sun to break it up 

and our fan base have started to get used to it and enjoy the odd unbeaten run against Hartlepool and Exeter 

were also forgetting all the embarrassing losses to Huddersfield the potter corners Exeter 5 forest green 

i can go on and on and on 

also we could be down for a while as it does happen and we’ll turn on the new owners no doubt 

this all being said 

it’ll be better than this season so I’m kinda looking forward to it

It's because we aren't corpo brand shills.

I absolutely hate League One - it's a loathsome division and it's criminal that we're facing our fourth stint at that wretched level. 

Sadly though, my top three all-time Wednesday memories have been winning promotion back to the Championship so maybe it will end up giving me another highlight. But this really, really must be our last ever time in the third tier.

Bemoans the arrogance of our fanbase by condescendingly referring to the clubs mentioned as ‘little clubs’

Brilliant.

TIL thinking the 12th most successful club in English football is too good to be in the third tier, playing Bromley … is arrogant 

Sorry 14th 

with a 40k stadium and 20-30k attendances 

You guys have given up 

disgusting

I remember going to the old ground which was the 3 sided county cricket ground in '77 when we won 2-0.

The new ground is a soulless non bowl just like many others in the lower leagues. E.G. Chesterfield.

Bromley is the most important club in the world to Bromley fans.

Who are you to tell them that you would rather job for Man City?
