Thankyou. Would love to know the actual numbers over the coming weeks. I think it will drop off pretty quickly, as it dawns on people just how bad things have become.

Excuse my ignorance, but does the attendance include ST holders, even if they don't attend?

That has got to be our worst kit ever

If I was attending with children, I would probably try and find a pub showing the game, watch the first ten minutes or so there, then make my way to the ground. Assuming there are family friendly pubs in the vicinity. The kids would also get to see the impact of the protests in the TV. Just an idea.

Had a few years off, then decides to start pulling the wings off Owls instead.

As already stated I think it's idiotic. But not comparible to what you said. I remember a time when you were the voice of reason on here.

I think it's less harsh than telling someone there mum died cos they didn't love them enough. To use your "analogy".

It really wasn't Neil. You're comparing the trauma of the loss of a loved one, to the trauma of losing a football match. They're a million miles apart. And I already stated what I thought of the guy on twitter.

It was your ridiculous "analogy" that sent this off topic. Clearly the guy on twitter was being an idiot. But your comments on this thread have been.... how do I put this...... misguided at best. A frankly ridiculous and insensitive comparison.

Some on here.... those who "know about football", will tell those of us that "don't know anything about football", that he is the "best player in the league". Sick of hearing it. He needed to leave 3 years ago. The single most overrated player in our history. I'd seriously rather have Kieren Lee back in a heartbeat over him.

Haha. This is brilliant.

I am enjoying it. I was just sharing my opinions. We're a much better side when Bannan plays further up the pitch.

I'll judge him, as I said before, at the end of the season. Not the last 5 mins.

62 games since he last scored in open play. Cough.

I've given him plenty of time to show how good he is. And no one better has come in and bought him. He flatters to deceive. And his all round game isnt that strong. He has strengths, but just as many weaknesses. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now, and see where we end up. If he's half as good as many make out, we should get promoted, and he should get around 15 assists, especially with him on set piece duties. We'll see.

We'll see at the end of the season fella.

We are, but everyone keeps saying he's a top end championship player, and is the best player in this league. He isn't either of those things.

While ever Bannan is being picked and playing so ridiculously deep, nothing will change. I'm not saying he's a bad player. But we keep trying the same thing and expecting different results.

Personally I hope he sees his career out at Hillsborough. Has his critics, but versatile, always fit, and will like make a great coach or ambassador for the club one day.

I know the Blind Monkey is in Walkley. Was in there last night and the barman informed me.

It's not boll0x at all. He played out on the left. Lee, Hutch and Wallace were all better than him that year in midfield. And he's totally the wrong type of person to lead a struggling team.

It's time for a change. Yes he's good on the ball, but tje modern midfielder needs to be more than just "tidy" in possession. Let's be honest. He doesnt score, cant tackle, not very good at tracking runners, plays too deep, can't head, has a go at his team mates. I'd rather sell him and replace him with a player who has a couple of the above attributes. People go on about how he had quality around him before, but he was arguably one of the worst players in the playoff final team. Those around him made him look better than he is. He's now in his 30s and if he plays next year, he'll be targeted by every single team we play. Time for a change.

As soon as I wrote it I could see that response coming

I've signed up and paid my fiver. Expecting a slow night at work, and supporting a lower league club seems like a good way to spend five quid. Hopefully see some of the new lads play too.
