Anyone else start dreading the weekend? I live in East Yorkshire and always look forward to us playing Ull. Not been since Charlton match, where we were unlucky not to win, but at the same time the cracks were visible. I can't financially back a club that tries to blag me into thinking Sibbick is a championship player in waiting. Was sat looking at a hole where Kieffer Moore used to be. Can't believe we never replaced him. The final straw came when we sacked Stendel, so I'm on strike rest of the season. Problem is I miss going, I just can't bring myself to It. Feel a bit of a girl admitting it, but I was close to tears after watching us fail again on Wednesday. The board can fck off, along with Wilks. Well done to anyone who read that to the end. Hardly ever post, but I read this board every day. Just needed to vent some of my frustrations.
Come to Oakwell.this aft you know you want to! I'm going to support the team and hopefully to see something positive in the management of Struber.
I'm not expecting a win, but I've paid my money and I'm having my 23 matches. I dont expect Struber to work miracles, I just want to see a team of tryers and - hopefully - 90 minutes without a defensive blunder.
Agree with all you say except the staying away bit. And don't be ashamed to admit the tears, I had loads too over the Daniel saga. We'll all still be fans when this lot are gone, still time for you to get here and support the youngsters on the pitch.
I don't really blame you. I only live in Monk Bretton and I am finding it a chore to turn up for the reasons you have stated.
I do want to. Its just too depressing. (and its fcking freezing) Think I'm off on boxing day. I'll probably go to the last home game. See us make history one way or another. I honestly can't think of anything positive to say atm. Gets me down. Really hope we win today, but I can see Hull's 2 wingers having an absolute field day. I'm going 1-3.
I find it doesn’t hurt half as much when I’m actually at the game. I go to all home games and a few away games ( went to Boro on Weds) Can’t listen radio commentary that’s too painful even in good seasons. When I’m not there I just do something else and cut off from football altogether. Then realise I haven’ switched the goal alerts off on my mobile.
I’ve ordered a Reds win out of the Black Friday Sales , It was a lot cheaper than it’s previous price and cheapest it’s been since opening day so get thissen darn n enjoy it dunt waste it I ent got money to burn . Next sales not while Boxing Day .
Couldn’t agree more. Went for a walk earlier and was thinking what a great day it is for football. Unfortunately I just cannot bring myself to go. Too upset at the current situation.
Nothing wrong with what you say at all. It's completely demoralizing. I'm not bothered myself anymore either. As an aside, there's nothing wrong with being a bit of a girl. I know lots of girls and they all seem happy enough.
I'm sat at home right now, beautiful day, sun's shining, gorgeous blue sky. Took our Finch for a lovely walk this morning, struggling with myself over whether to go or not. Decided not. I've followed them since 1968 through very thick and very thin and I've not felt as unhappy as I do now. When I think that our owners are keeping us going for their benefit it makes me so sad. Gone are the "dare to dream" days, the John Dennis days (yes, I know, we probably suffered as a result), but I'm afraid that after administration the whole ethos changed. Money became king. Profit at the expense of ambition. I'm sitting here typing this at five to three thinking of those at Oakwell, all 11,000 plus, and saying to myself, is this the end of life as we know it down there? If I won the Euro lottery and got that 100 million, I'd be in there to rescue the ship, and I'd feel proud to do it. Until then I can only hope for better things.
