Not seen a thread for this yet, so here goes.

We’ll need everyone to have a great game to win this - and thats not happened for what seems like a long time.

We’ve also a few injuries as we all know.

Head says 1-2 

Heart says 2-1

Ever the diplomat

as for the game, the BN article also explains that a number are Ill within the squad.

Doesn't say so, but maybe covid striking again.

God knows what team Evatt will be able to put out.

 

There’s three players who have been carrying some niggling injuries the last 4 weeks. Not bad enough to stop them playing but not 100% fit . Small tears and strains.  
They’ve got some equipment going in over the summer that should reduce these small tears as well

Cardiff's first game in hand was at Grimsby. They had to win both and it was 0-0 at Blundell Park until very late when a lad called Tarki Micallef scored for them. Horrible. All came down to the last game against already promoted Luton at Cardiff. We were worried Luton would be on the beach but they did us a right favour.

It was the first year they used 3 points for a win too.  IIRC under the old 2 point system Wrexham would have stayed up that year and we'd have gone down.

Without Santos, Dapo and Dempsey, this could be a tough one. Especially as they have everything to play for while we have nowt to play for.

Our form is pretty meh, so I’d take a draw

 

I’m out on the lash from 10 so won’t give a fuck how we line up, how we play or that much about the result. 
 

Really looking forward to tomorrow 😎

Adult & junior in ESL going if anyone wants

I’d have them please, unless someone has beat me to it by pm?

I’m already in the ESL with my daughter, they would be for other family members.

I'm really hoping we turn up for this.  I hate it when other teams get to party at ours.  I had a nosey on Owlstalk and they're giddy at their huge following and the prospect of a day to remember if they win.  There's talk of several hundred Wednesdayites in our end too (you watching Mr Hart?).

The whole thing was by the skin of our teeth. The original great escape long before fans used to sing the theme tune from the film when getting towards the end of such a season! 

Paid the price the season after mind you!

I recall I wasn't that keyed up for it when they played at Grimsby, I just thought we'd done enough to stop up and sort of forgot about it.  Then realised they just had to beat Luton at home to stop up, and I was on pins.  If it was now Sky and 5 Live would be all over it, as well as us lot chatting about it as it happened.  But no coverage other than relying on the hourly sports update on radio 2 at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm, hanging on every word of some newsreader that couldn't have understood the impact on us of the words he was reading.

That's about the size of it. In 1982 it was probably before most folk had Teletext too. That 9:55 sports bulletin on Radio 2 was tuned in to by many a twitchy football fan. None more so than us that week!

Yes, by all accounts 700 or so Owls fans joined our membership to get tickets. If true it’s going to be a bit of a question to answer for Mr H??

If so, & I try to defend the guy as just trying to do a job, it's not clever.

But while we're here, isn't this supposed to be horrendously difficult and intrusive to join and damn-near impossible to actually get your tickets delivered even if you can slalom around the complexities of the scheme ?

We know this to be true because so many people have told us their tales of woe.

That won't end well 

If it kicked off hart would blame home fans behaviour

Do you now need to have been a member for a while to buy a ticket?

Not sure what the time frame is

700 new members registered on weds apparently presume the club will be all over the post codes

well….

Why in Christ's name cant I just buy 2 tickets on my membership/ST?!

I want to give the club £35 but Im not allowed 🤦‍♂️

48 hours i think .....it would have made sense to ask for previous buying history surely ?

If that’s true then its absolute madness & just asking for trouble

As a Wednesday fan please don't let Owlstalk cloud your judgement. 

Awful forum littered with people who don't go. 

Don't expect an easy game later today, it is not a happy hunting ground. 

Glad Kieran Lee has found a home at wanderers, but for injuries his career could have been better.
