Take Hunt Off Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Going down to Div 1 will be massive nosedive there's no point dressing it up .If you've got the right leadership & some ambition it makes a huge difference. The second of our relegations to Div 1 was torturous culminating in further relegation to Div 2 & we only scraped out of there by a miracle.Thats why our next owners will set in stone the future direction of BWFC.

gonzo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Is there really much of a difference between championship and league 1? Prem to championship yes you lose then big teams but can't see much difference between championship and league 1? Yeah league 1 looks a right hoot. Maybe we will go all season unbeaten and there will be some cracking away trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eavesy Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yeah league 1 looks a right hoot. Maybe we will go all season unbeaten and there will be some cracking away trips. That wasn't the point I was making. I'm sure league 1 is a real drag just like the championship is. However I can't see why people would be turned off with playing sheff Utd and Barnsley instead of wolves and sheff weds. However I can see why people would be turned off when we went from man h Chelsea and Liverpool to wolves and sheff weds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted December 23, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2015 Dropping down the league has brought the club closer to the fans I reckon.. fans feel more involved.. that and having bloodied several youngsters in championship, hopefully next year we will bring even more through.. Walker, Clough, and Vela have done well, with Holding making a great impression last game, baring in mind these are just some of the youngsters on the teams borders, reckon we should do OK in the league below without spending much.

onlyoneawalker Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Any leagues shit when you are losing - boothferry park on that famous night in league 1 weren't a bad do - I'm not getting lower league rose tinted specs but once we get back up and running whatever league it is the buzz will be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions like but I've never felt more disconnected and plenty of others feel the same hence low attendances. And all those players you mentioned will be gone next season. If we go down the ground will be less than a third full on a weekly basis. It's gonna be fuckin horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomski Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The champ to league 1 is huge if only from an investment point of view. I can't see anyone with money touching us in league 1 (I know they are hardly throwing themselves at it now) but a big part of that must be the threat of league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I suppose those who have left the party are better of leaving no point sitting there moaning and groaning the atmosphere been ok with the 12-13000 who are still going. Nothing stays the same everything moves on. And you're quitting when Clough gets sold next month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgoefc Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Read all these stories very carefully and see something in each of those who have given up being regular. BWFC was my life from 1972 to 1979 then 1984 until 2005. I used to cry at success, battle on the terraces, go with mates, row with the wife when we lost etc etc. Then when I came back in the 80's I met a different group and in the 90's we even had a Rossendale group of 5 or 6 who used to travel all over the country. The decline started when we went to the Reebok, everyone split up, the old uns from from Churchills either didn't go or didn't have a pre match pint. Still my son and daughter were well into it and even the wife and sister loved it and we had family season tickets. Then around 2002 the lad started working shifts, the dowter found more interesting things to do in her teens but still liked the odd game. Me and the wife found that in the 2005/2006 season we attended 11 home games with our ST's. One dismal rain swept day that season we were on our way and after 5 miles said fuck this and turned back and went to bed. That was it. Wasn't the money, that year i considered myself pretty rich. I was just bored. We had achieved everything and I sort of knew it could never get better, i was just going through some habit or belief it was who i was, so i had to go. I then did about 4 or 5 games a year and now its down to one. I can't believe how it was the centre of my life for so long. I will always have a soft spot but what I saw live the the other day against Cardiff was alien to me. I watch the results come on here for a laugh and debate but its in my past. It will never come back. That time is past. Edited December 23, 2015 by bgoefc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofthouse58 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Did the boycott game in the 80s was it Hull it game after? Ended up going to Blackburn with a couple of mates who were Reds on an all dayer didn't go to the game though. Never missed a home game while I've been in UK since that day.

gonzo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think we all need a massive gay pile on at Bristol and score a last minute winner or summet. Maybe take a square over, hang some flags and throw some beer and chairs about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan was it £4 million? McAteer £4.5? And he wasnt even properly through the ranks. What did Stubbs actually go for in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 million but it's irrelevant When you and others scoff at 4 million you forget Bournemouth are setting up a 16 million deal for the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
