Wise, wise words. Mind you, still expensive but worth every groat from here
I went today. I had a miserable time. Almost entirely due to the middle-aged couple sat behind me who kept up an invective laden critique of unparalleled negativity throughout the entire match. They were like anti-supporters. Not a single good word about any player, pass or move. A constant stream of negatives.
Made me quite depressed after 90 minutes of such bile. Not a single player escaped their moronic analysis. Poor old Ince was savaged even when it was Weimann on the ball - they were also thick as two short planks and perhaps hadn't realised Ince was on the other side of the pitch from our point of view in the second half.
Larry, I sympathise, come and watch a game at HebexField, all positive here. Middle aged people have a separate, secure, 'whinging pen".
If one of the couple was tall, sandy haired and wearing rectangular lensed glasses you should have punched hin in the mouth just in case it was the ar$ehole who used to sit behind me.
How do you confuse Weimann with Ince?
Thanks Heb. I mention middle-aged as you would have thought that time may have bestowed at least some wisdom and because the scale and frequency of profanity, from the lady in particular, is not what you expect in that age range.
Perhaps I've just led a sheltered life.
You should have moved Larry. My lad and I did purely for a better view/atmosphere. As you know there were @ 2000 spare seats due to the price
Weimann for Ince! I know.
Other oft repeated nuggets of analysis were "Martin is w**k, why is he still the captain?" and "come on <insert player name here> f***ing do something or f*** off home".
You weren't behind the goal Baz? In row 26? Several people around me did move...
We were up in the gods to start with Larry, 2nd row from the back. Moved down about 15 rows, level with left edge of the penalty box
Must have been a bit like logging on here some days then.
Martin's fat and lazy
Ince doesn't look interested
Warnock's the worst player I've ever seen
Keogh's useless
Shackell's slow and has the turning circle of a supertanker
Christie is he a right back anyway
Butterfield's too lightweight
Bent's lazy and looks a bit like Ince
Weimann's a waste of space
Johnny's a headless chicken
etc
Where to move to though?
Vidal, easy , play all of the above, should be top three or so eventually.....
Grant did well against a former club.

Evening
My appraisal of today's game - I thought The Owls generally had the edge but neither side showed their true capabilities or quality in a game of few chances, with 6 bookings by an over-fussy ref.
It was good to see Lee Grantback at Hillsborough, producing a great save from Ross Wallace (damn you Grant)
I'm a bit disappointed with a point, but think a draw was about right. We both can do better.
Oh, and if you have ambitions of the Premier League, you better get used to the high prices, because most of those teams charge a lot more than Wednesday.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Point taken Kitty, however I always go to the Sheff Weds game with middle born. I KNOW that away days will be way more expensive in the Promised (?) Land but to charge that much when with a little judicious pricing, you could have far increased the number of tickets sold for what has traditionally been a well attended game for Derby fans.
Sorry to say, but today, "your ground looked too big for you"
The likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool work on supply and demand and can always charge high prices - they'll survive.
Sheffield Wednesday, Notts Florest and Ipswich can't and shouldn't.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not saying that I agree with the pricing policy Viewfrom - - as usual the fans have no say I've always said lower prices will increase attendance. I'm saving now for my Premier League tickets (whenever that may be).
