Nothing remarkable from any Wednesday fans I know but I don't work in Sheffield and I only have two mates who are Wednesday fans and to be fair they were gracious but what can they say?! I did have a read on Owlstalk to have a laugh at their expense and found this golden nugget of a post!
I’m not jealous at all, honestly I’m not.
It hurts to see the Blunts get something we’ve been close to getting before us, but it’s a heck of a mixed blessing tbf.
Yes the money is amazing for securing the club financially...in theory. In reality, you have to spank most of it trying and failing to stay up, then jizz the rest on massive wages for disillusioned half-arsed players the year after.
Boring seasons with little chance of much real joy outside the top 6, even madder prices for pies and kits, makeshift teams of wandering mercenaries cobbled together in a panic who you’re then lumbered with for two to three years...ugh, I always want Wednesday to ‘succeed’ but I don’t half enjoy the Champ. I’d genuinely feel really conflicted about finally ‘making it’ to the ‘promised land’.
Obviously it remains the goal, otherwise why bother with any of it, what’s the motivation? The players want it and understandably so, that’s the big motivation that keeps them fighting. For the fans? Yes, brief bragging rights. Yes, world-class players tearing you to bits. But proper highs and lows? Wet Tuesday nights at Ipswich? Month-long arguments over decisions without VAR? Honestly I’d miss more than I’d look forward to.
Selfish and small-minded and unambitious, maybe. But the Prem is basically gash in all but status.
Priceless stuff! What this Wednesday fan fails to mention is that our 2019/20 season ticket price is cheaper than theirs and yet they play in a league below!
