SouthendNote, though close I’ve left out the likes of Oldham, Rochdale, Barnsley, Port Vale and Bradford as I have no real urgings to go back there, though probably will.
As it happens I have no real wishes to watch any of the home matches against any of these teams, bar maybe PNE, though I will no doubt.
Wonder how many others will feel the same and won’t bother at home?
I’m sorry but playing the likes of some of these doesn’t inspire me one iota and the thought of playing Southend on a wet Tuesday fills me with dread.
All this “it’s going to be great bollocks” does my head in and proves we have a small minded outlook.
We have just been effing relegated halfway in receipt of parachute payments to the third division after fighting our way up in the nineties.
I don’t think the reality of this situation has sunk in yet and maybe it’s because the vast proportion of our supporters never experienced this league back then. It’s death on every level with disheveled clubs in backwaters and trips to these places are grim believe me!
The anger I feel today is unbelievable , we could and should still be in the second division , how the hell did it come to this???Well Vince there are at least fifty or sixty reasons but we are there now and angry but we have to get out but as we know even when we had money going into the club during our rise it wasn’t easy and took an amazing manager and probably the best set of team players we have ever had to do it.
I was there then Vince and I’m looking forward to it. Yes I wish we were still in the Prem, but as a fan I was no longer enjoying football. Turning up to games expecting to lose and when you give it a go you get shafted by officials. Players feining injury and basically cheating. No thanks. Good hard honest football for me and if I can have a good day out as well then even better.
I watched us rise, I’ve watched us fall. Bring on the next chapter.
but as a fan I was no longer enjoying football. Turning up to games expecting to lose and when you give it a go you get shafted by officials. Players feining injury and basically cheating.Something we can actually agree on here Egg!
Another bonus for you is more Sat 3pm kick offs and less midweek games having to be sandwiched into the season as you’ll play on international weekends.
and less midweek games having to be sandwiched into the season ….You forget our forthcoming storming of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, old chap ;)
The title of the thread was reasons to be cheerful Vince, not reasons to be happy with the way we have capitulated and the club has been wrecked in a short space of time.
You can’t have read any of my previous comments on here if you think I’m happy. Like I say, I don’t fancy the home games one bit but watch the turnouts for some of these aways, it’ll feel like the FA Cup every other Saturday. (If we’re not all too old now)
Tez H -if we have 10000 young supporters who are going to stick with things through thick and thin then the future should be a very bright one.
However a knawing feeling keeps coming back that we are all being short changed and that messages on here along the lines of ” it will be great going to Oldham and Rochdale” mean we could easily be saying the same things next year along the lines of
” it will be great going to Accrington and Morecambe ” after another season of hell.
Im sorry but unless there are radical changes then we could be very easily in the same boat next year.
with people coming out with this sort of line do you honestly feel any changes will occur that we all know need to if the club is to recover and move on from this.
Beyond that is anyones guess but you only need to look at the graveyard called the conference which is full of former football league clubs.
I admire the positivity and energy of our superb young supporters and their loyalty is lump in the throat stuff if im honest.
We deserve better ,much better and that is what hurts the most!!!Why are we more deserving than the supporters of any other club. Every club has it’s ups and downs. It’s the way the sport is. It’s the way the world is. We aren’t exempt.
All I can sense here is the Johnny big Bolux attitude. We didn’t and don’t have a god given right to play in the premier league or the championship.
For a club of our size and history we have surpassed all our dreams, I’ve loved every second of it and boy do I want us to get back up there.
There are hundreds if not thousands of reasons why we have fallen so dramatically these past couple of seasons and its not down to just bad management, playing one up front, changing managers, buying shyte players.
To highlight one or two things and even individuals is being very short sighted.This landslide has not just happened to us, its actually quite common, look at City, Newcastle, Leeds, Wolves, Sheff Wednesday, Notts Forrest, Portsmouth etc etc. Sheffield United played in the premiership in its inaugural year, look where they have been presiding since we sent them down at Brammel Lane several years ago.
I’m that much a latics fan, if they lose, its ruined my weekend, my missus has fallen out with me loads of times cos I’ve chosen to go watching Wigan away at places like Southend, instead of attending a relatives wedding. That’s how much this club means to me. I was watching SSN on Tuesday stomach turning upside down as reports came in from the Rotherham match. I spent around 4 grand watching every game home and away in our first season in the prem. I’ve been to Netherfield, Great Harwood,South Shields, Stafford Rangers, Bradford Park Avenue etc watching um with 20 odd others. I have lost count of the times I’ve had fights with Rugby fans who have tried to take the piss about our crowds, I could go on and on, but you should get where I’m coming from by now.
Now that the dust has settled and our fate has been sealed, I’m actually beginning to look forward to next season. Whats the point in dwelling on whats happened it wont make you feel better it will just beat you up.I feel positive vibes about David Sharp and Gary Caldwell, they both seem passionate about our club. No doubt we will see massive changes in personnel between now and August, some that gets us excited, some that doesn’t, but what ever happens, Wigan Athletic will be running out at the DW next season with an ambition to win games. That’s what they want,that’s what we want, that’s what they tried to do last season and the many seasons before. We can’t predict what will happen, but that’s football for you, if it was a predictable as picking the top 4 clubs in the premier league, it would be boring.
We know many of you feel bitter about what’s happened this season, you don’t need to flood every thread with it, lets get Saturday over with, take a nice break and come back next season with fresh hope. Whether you pack um in or not, the club will still roll on, Mr Whelan has made sure that we are a sustainable club whether you love him or hate him.
BELIEVE!!!From Matlock to ManU

BELIEVE!!!Fuckin hell, you’ve changed your tune! You had a meltdown of epic proportions when Martinez left us and said he should have stayed and righted his relegation wrong by taking us back up again! You were most confident of us doing very well in The Championship and thought that our squad was more than adequate to challenge for promotion so why the little club mentality all of a sudden and acceptance of the fuckin shambles of this season? This roll over lay down attitude isn’t good, it isn’t good at all! You will be endorsing League Two next and saying that this is what we really are if we are ever unfortunate enough to go back there! Non league football could potentially have some of our old skool fans quite literally creaming their y fronts! :dry:
Reasons to be cheerfulFill giving up his season ticket :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah for the last 2 games and apparently I missed fuck all! Even the long overdue win was met with disdain!
You should have mentioned the £550.00 that appeared in my Betvictor betting account on Wednesday morning, now that did make me cheerful! ;)
