I dont attend the Reebok like i used to, but with not working, having a long distant relationship, i still try and get to as many games, albeit tin pot ones as possible. Yesterday at Rossendale i counted six diehard Wanderers fans who was watching us when we were piss poor in the 80s, and the only thing i can conclude is, you have a far cheaper day watching non league, and not getting ripped off. But footballs changed, and i think a lot hanker for the old days, even when we were shite.

Im a season ticket holder but if i wasnt I would find it hard to pay 27 quid for a game against a team like Sunderland. Its a fucking rip off imo. Im guessing upper tier was about 30 quid then, no wonder they were fucking empty!

 

i usually pay to see bolton...

So you would pay ?30 to watch us against Leigh Genesis?

in a premier league game, yes.

 

in a cup game, probably

 

in none league game, no

Went to Rossendale myself and had a good day out... better than the ones Ive had the Reebok last season... it's good to be able to stand at a game, have a drink of real ale in the clubhouse at half time and a game of pool, and watch teams with English players who seem to actually give a **** about what they are doing....

Playing 3 defensive holding midfielders at once with no creative one

Buying more defenders than we need

Being happy with a goalless draw

No interest in signing attacking creative players

Does that help you?

 

How old are you? Not taking the piss - just curious. Do you remember us being the yoyo team of the premier league playing great football but being relegated? It is a sad fact that you must cut your coat to suit your cloth. That is what we do.

 

No one disagrees that a creative midfielder and a striker who regularly hits the net would transform this team into a successful one. Show us where they are at a price we can afford.

My lack of attendance is due to the following

 

1 - The football is f?cking rubbish

2 - Inside the ground you are treated like a 2 year old by stewards with learning difficulties

3 - The ground is full of women and queers

4 - It isn't value for money, I'd rather finger myself

bolty, if we hadnt spent so much on defenders we didnt need, we could have bought a striker. The ?4 mill we have forked out on full backs could have gone towards a Kevin Doyle type player.

Even if we were winning 6:0 every game, I'm not having it that you still wouldn't rather finger yourself

Now that is funny. But you forgot to mention the beer is shite.

I take your point although I am not convinced we would get what we want. Not sure Doyle is what we want either.

 

Isn't strength in depth in defensive positions something that most PL teams seek? Debatable whether we have achieved that with FB's but we certainly had to sign a CB to partner Cahill.

 

You do take my point about the expansive game we used to play taking us down then?

If we played great football we wouldn't have been relegated.

 

You mean less boring to watch than Gary Megson's team.

west brom apparently played great football last season, and so did ipswich a few seasons back.

 

winning football is what i want, and i dont give a fuck what it looks like.

Don't be a dick. 'Expansive' football then. We were praised for it as we sunk. Great football can be judged in many different ways - the argument being put forth by the anti Smegson/Mugson/Gartslime and every other fcuking soft name they can think of brigade is that they want to be entertained.

 

There's no way of avoiding the fact - clubs with relatively meagre resources like ours need to win ugly to survive in the premier league.

 

They used to say 'good attacks win matches; good defences win championships'. These days it's a case of good defences meaning survival.

I quite agree on the CB issue, but on a thread pre season I did suggest that Knight could be no better than Shittu, who in fairness did OK for me.

 

I agree with the above poster that it couldnt have been great stuff, but certainly provided more entertainment. It's paint dry stuff at the moment and youre so lucky they didnt show it live for you. I,m on a PAYG this season, partly because of other committments I cant make every game. I decided to go on Sat as I had it down as a game we could win, much better than going to the other type. Not going to Liverpool. Got disheartened watching us play in such a spineless fashion against the top 6, but if we batter them 5 nowt, feel free to gloat.

I just hate the Reebok, and can't think of another ground as bad, maybe it's the location or maybe it's the way the place is set out, but it's shite.

 

Out of our mob who were all ST holders back before we got in the PL - not one bothered on Saturday - in fact nobody even mentioned it.

 

And, and I know the usual gayers will have a cry coz I've said this, I really cannot stand Gary Megson. He's a fucking cry baby, who's been given a bigger budget to buy players than BSA ever was, and despite buying some decent players is generally cluesless.

so you only go to games you think we will win?

 

oh ffs

bolty, if we hadnt spent so much on defenders we didnt need, we could have bought a striker. The ?4 mill we have forked out on full backs could have gone towards a Kevin Doyle type player.

 

The problem we have is finding a striker who would score goals the way we play - namely only someone of the class of Anelka could carve out enough chances themselves to get goals - Kevin Doyle, Andy Johnson , Bobby Zamora, Dean Ashton , James Beattie all players in our bracket but would they get goals with no crosses little goal mouth action for the odd tap in??? We've got a decent stiker IMO and spanked ?8m on him but we've got to find a way of suppplying him the ammo to hit the net.

If you think we'll survive watching that uncreative ineffective ugly football last Saturday then you'll be in for a shock. You need some attacking potency.

sunderland played VERY similar and won the game.

 

difference was that their front 2 were far better than ours.

You need to have sex as soon as you can.

 

It might calm you down - works for me.

 

There's a poster on here called George who can point you in the right direction.

 

Take Russell, you might get yourselves a deal.
