Burndens Bogs Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Do we begrudge folk going to Wembley who don’t watch us regularly, or is it a case of the more the merrier on the day? The latter for me, bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 11, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2023 Absolutely the more the merrier. Anyone acting the cunt towards the JCLs risks them never attending again and becoming future hardcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 11, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wife has done more games this season and last than she did over all the years since we got married, combined Still didnt think she would want to do an 18 hour day with this pisscan, but shes all over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L/H White Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 more the merrier hopefully some will frequent more especially with such cheap season tickets all part of the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 11, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2023 Absolutely more the merrier. The wife and mother are both going for the day out but no intention of watching us regularly. Play offs would be totally different. I wouldn’t want a JCL near me telling me to ‘cheer up, it’s only a game’ if we lost. While I want to win a pot, won’t spoil my day at all if Plymouth win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Get the song sheets out All welcome and just hope they come back a little more regularly. Will be a little bit of an odd mix in the lower tier on that front but plenty regulars to guide them along, I’m sure 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a knob and laughed as Madrid tore them apart but chose to encourage the kids to get involved in chants. At end of game they were begging dad to take them Wembley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I am made up people are jumping on board. Hopefully some will stay. If we don’t fuck it massively some folk could be hooked or reengaged with the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 This is how fanbases are expanded. The younger end get the bug, the older end re-ignite the flame. We just need to avoid another bloody Stoke episode!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 11, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2023 A few I know re-engaged with the club in 1989 and still going regularly now. It happens and will again in 3 weeks time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to avoid another bloody Stoke episode!! Exactly. Wembley (or Cardiff) matches can be quite pivotal. The difference between the effect of winning (Torquay, Reading, Preston) with the very sobering defeats (not turning up v Tranmere, Watford, Boro with all the ticket fallouts, Villa with the Holdsworth miss, Stoke) can mean it leaves a negative taste. Its all positive pre-match, its massive for the club to ensure it remains a positive post-match too. I'd go so far as to say I'd take winning that game over any of the next two, and I never thought I'd say that for this competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Absolutely more the merrier. If we pick up some new fans this competition will have more than served its purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted March 12, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2023 As previously mentioned, Loft is coming over for this one. He's done his time mind you, travelling in clapped out vans pulling string from one side to the other to get windscreen wipers going, and getting left behind in motorway services and the like. As we all have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Don't begrudge anyone watching us. I haven't been since my mate died 3 years ago, mainly as out of 15 of us that used to go regularly at Burnden, and the move to Middlebrook, only me and him were left up until his death, so even though I'm not going to Wembley, the more the merrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted March 12, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hopefully a lot of the people worn down by the KA years have rekindled their love of BWFC under FV and Sharon. If we we can just finish well with a Wembley win and get into the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Micky, for some it was an excuse waiting to happen. KA, then Covid, then cost of living. The only let down for me personally is actually getting there in the first place. £7 per match even for kids (unless there's a decent bus driver) is not going to get them flooding back, nor is the mess that is the free for all getting off.

I think this started way before the Anderson’s. Folk are still using moving away from Burnden as the excuse, or Megson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
