now, i know theres some fickle fcukers who dip in and out, but i guess most on here are in for the long haul

 

have you ever thought about packing it in for good

 

i did, it was mid 80s and we were at home to leicester we hadn't won for about 6 seasons and i had a better offer

 

it couldve been 20 year old blonde twins but actually, it was radcliffe borough away at caernarvon in a table topping clash

 

so, the choice was made, wanderers were shite and i was going on a european tour

 

i missed the supporters bus to welsh wales, kept walking and was in the king bill for dinner

 

never seriously considered fooking it off since, though qpr this season pushed my buttons

 

 

i've always lived near the ground so not been challenged in the way satan, for example, is, so i've had it easy i guess

 

ps, we won

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.

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.

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.

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

.

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.

looking for positives in a negative event..

 

Trust me, much rather be up in the premier

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

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?

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.

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.

Your never in the UK ! Viva Mount Skip

Your never in the UK ! Viva Mount Skip

I think this thread is Fucking depressing even more than watching the team .....ffs

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.

if he is given away for 750k. yes.

Any brizzle placed posters able to string a low chain link fence around the town square?

if you have given up on BWFC, why post about them ?

Your never in the UK ! Viva Mount Skip

 

 

Your right I am not. Is that A.B?

if he is given away for 750k. yes.

I'm with you if they give clough away for that amount they can do one,it's the young players coming through that give you hope,the whatmores, Peter reads,Alan stubbs and Jason macateers it's the only way we'll get back

Ffs

 

If he goes for less than we , the fans, think it's worth, it'll be because we have to sell

 

He got a nice rise only weeks ago

 

So we won't be selling cos we want to

Think we've sold about 3 players that's come through the ranks for any considerable amount of money in past 30 years.

 

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?

Forgetting for a minute our desperate need for cash

 

 

A million plus 20% sell on or 3 miillion?

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

Forgetting for a minute our desperate need for cash

Think it would have to be 3 million upfront, but what about 1 million and 50% sell on, and a cheeky loan back? If it had to happen that is.
