SWFC

[Nudga]

Anybody else loving the shit show going down at Swillsbro?


I hate that club with a passion so I hope they rot for eternal life in division 4.

Reason you may ask,  well I worked in Sheffield during our conference years and the blades lads at work always kept an eye out for our results and were quite knowledgeable about lower league football. 

The Wednesday lads on the other hand only took the piss, knew f**k all about football in general and gloated about their attendances, win,lose or draw.
Weird fan base with a strange chip on the shoulder.
Absolutely loving seeing them cry on social media. 

f**kers think they've got it bad, they really haven't got a clue.

[Sars]

Here here. Deserve everything so far and everything yet to come. I equally remember our plight and how most of South Yorkshire couldn"t care less. I remember United gave us a kit for our first game at Dover, although trying to be impartial, it did have transform medical as a sponsor so that might of been some John Ryan spin no doubt

Will always remember the knuckle draggers from wednesday causing shit outside the keepmoat after we beat them one Tuesday night. Walked right up to us giving us agro. We didnt rise to their taunts, but it was nailed on they wanted us to react to them to cause trouble.

Given what we went through back then,  I wouldn't wish that on any other club.To almost see your club no longer exist.

I have supported many a club in a similar plight where I can with donations, however back in 98, most of our South Yorkshire neighbours couldn't care less. But Wednesday, a club full of knob heads, the worst of the lot. I wouldn't p1ss on any of them if they were on fire.

  For some reason Sheffield United have been great with Rotherham as well loaning them players for Free I seem to remember when they were having a bad time of it and helped Chesterfield out a few years back, as well as playing games v ourselves, a good club United with what seems like a more local support, where Weeds and the Wendies gathered support from a wider area.
  The Wendies and Weeds however have never been that generous as clubs, not the players, who have turned out for charities  etc regular, but both have tried to gather supporters from all over other clubs historic patches when they have had success and seem quite happy to do so.
  In the Wendies case it is going to take a monumental effort to ever be what they once were as a club.

They’ve also got that crumbling wreck of a stadium to deal with at some point. Don’t like most of them at all, but also know some genuinely good lads that are Wednesday fans and I wouldn’t wish liquidation on any genuine football fan. No doubt they will get saved by some for of foreign ownership, but at what cost who knows.

Just goes to show what a dark mess football is in really. Look at the club World Cup. Corruption of the highest order, but owners are so desperate for a slice of the Saudi government money they would sell their own souls and quite happily will flog their players to exhaustion.

Be interesting to see the impact this joke will have on the quality of matches in the World Cup next year.

[colincramb]

Also, not a big fan really of mocking other clubs predicaments. It’s only 18 months ago we were looking over our shoulders at the bottom 2 and potentially the national league. Many people on this forum losing their shit over how the club was being run. We might have it good now, but terry bramall is 83 this year - he won’t be here forever and then what? Probably not best to mock other clubs when our own future could change very quickly.

[Nudga]

I will mock them, never met a humble Wednesday fan yet so I really dont feel sorry for them.
Not said anything about them going bust or going non league. To be fair,  they are too big for either of those scenarios but, I did say  I'd like to see them in division 4.

[roversdude]

Agree they seem to have more than their share of idiots. Never known a more bipolar fan base (as in they win a game and are the best team ever, yet lose and they want everyone sacking)
Them and their fruitcake owner is a gift that keeps on giving

[Nudga]

Oh and let's not forget their fans going on the rampage in town for a friendly many years ago, slapping an old fella to the ground outside a pub.

[dknward2]

If the Denver broncos owners end up buying them then they could be a serious team again

Lad a work is a swfc fan and he’s a decent bloke one of the few I guess, he says they need to move out of hillsbro, and try and get down Meadowhall area

Feel bad for him as he is a genuine fan but even he says they have plenty of d**khead fans that get drugged up and end up fighting with their own fans

[Chris Black come back]

Minimal interest. Donny Owls always seem far less knuckle dragging than Donny Whites.

[Stocksbridge Owl]

Yes, I get it. Wednesday aren’t the most popular team in the area.

The club is in a dire state and has been for some time and, if truth be told, I can’t see when it’s going to end.

The problems are well documented so I won’t go over them here, but things really are in a bad way.

Will we go under? Not a chance. Will we eventually be purchased by another unsuitable owner? Very likely.

[dknward2]

Stockbridge would you welcome Milan back if it meant getting rid of chansri

[RobTheRover]

Another bad owner ruining a historic club.

I've never liked Wednesday, loved going there and beating them, but I'll always remember the journey home from Brentford when we won the league. Our train stopped at Peterborough and loads of Wednesday fans got on, saw all the Rovers fans and started singing "Championes" at us.

[Stocksbridge Owl]

Stockbridge would you welcome Milan back if it meant getting rid of chansri

Many Wednesday supporters are of the opinion that anyone will be better than Chansri but I worry about leaping from the frying pan into the fire as it were. Right now Milan does seem a preferable choice but I think it’s more to do with how awful the current owner has been rather than positivity about Milan.

[TonySoprano]

I think chansiri is doing a good job 

f**k em.

Weird fan base, all with chips on their shoulders.
Like vegans who tell you there a vegan twice in 30 seconds after meeting them.
Sheff weds fans tell you their a big club twice in 30 seconds.
When in reality they are a medium sized club , of which there are dozens.

[Beerseller]

Growing up in the Dearne Valley in the 70's, Wednesday had very recently been the best team in Yorkshire until being overtaken by the then new upstart Leeds United.  Consequently, there were many Wednesday fans of my age and slightly older.  Since they were in the third tier by the early 70s, the vast majority of those fans didn't appear to me to be big heads although I'll agree they all saw Wednesday as a big club - and rightly so at the time.

From the late 70's I went with friends to watch both Wednesday and Leeds and enjoyed going to their respective bigger stadiums with larger crowds and more noise.  As a young teenager, there seemed little difference between the two clubs except their divisional divide at the time.  I went with Wednesday to their FA Cup semi-final at Highbury when they played Brighton (about 1983?) and the good days were back for another 10 years or so.

Now, with very little to crow about since the 90s and the stellar rise of the big premier league teams, I think it is fair to say their "big club" crown has long since fallen.  Potentially though, they would not look out of place in the Premier League.  Whether they could get there and maintain that place in the modern day is an entirely different question.  I still have a soft spot for them though and don't like seeing their current financial predicament.

[MachoMadness]

Every club has its d**kheads, but Wednesday are one of those clubs that seems to have an above average proportion of d**kheads. In the last couple of years stuff like the Bradley Lowery incident means that reputation is starting to stick.

[IDM]

People in glass houses etc..

We have fans who chuck flares on the pitch, smear shit on toilet walls and gozz on ball boys.

Every club has a share oh knobs..

[knockers]

All examples from a fair few years ago.

Apart from a bit of posturing from the young lads I’ve not seen anything that we should worry about regarding our fan base.

[Drover]

All those incidents happened Inside a ground at a match,doesn't make it any less appalling,but Sheff Wendies do have a much larger proportion of Arrogant,Ill mannered,self important,bigger than you supporters in everyday life wherever you meet them,Yes they have a few smart,intelligent fans too, but they are vastly outnumbered by the arrogants etc.

Flares got chucked on the pitch in the Bradford game.

And all the examples quoted of Wednesday supporters misbehaving are from even longer ago....

Wasn’t there that guy called crisp a couple of years back who mocked a fan who had passed at the leppings lane end, saying something like another one to the list?? There was also another a couple of morons in a separate incident ,as well as those scum mocking Bradley.

Generally speaking a very weird and twisted fan base, although we welcome Stockbridge Owl on here.

[keith79]

It beat me why anyone would take pleasure from another team in this situation. (Excluding leeds) I remember when we very nearly  went bust. Not a nice time at all.

Keith so do I and the response I got from a lot of Wendies was shocking

[DonnyBazR0ver]

You have to wonder what more Chansiri needs to do, to prove his is an unfit and improper owner.

The EFL forced Readings owner to sell when he was guilty of improper behaviour so with Chansiri's repeat offences of failing to pay players and staff, you'd think the rule book would bring him to account beyond yet another transfer embargo.

[Chris Black come back]

Has there been a lower point in recent years than the apology we had to give to Leyton Orient?

[BobG]

What was that  CBCB? Not heard of us apologising to Orient before.

[Barmby Rover]

" We are a massive club" is what they start out with when they whinge on. They are no more a big club than Barnsley who have at least been in the top tier in the last twenty years, unlike the Wendies. The place seems to remove all brain function to act or speak in a realistic manner. If they were a bit less arrogant and able to accept what they are then they would get a more sympathetic hearing. As it is South Yorkshire fans just look at them with contempt.

[Draytonian III]

I’ll have go against the trend, I prefer Wednesday to United mainly due to the fact that I was chased from Belle Vue to Cantley lights by 4 United fans after the League Cup victory in 1978, which doesn’t sound much but then I was 6 stone wet through 14 year old and these were grown men . Luckily I could run then .
