Been looking around this forum a lot lately, and it seems to me, that most of the people who use the forum are supporters of Premiership teams, which is all fine, but are there not any people who support clubs from the lower leagues, and if so, why isn’t there any banter on them?
So, where are any of my fellow Nationwide Supporters?
Personally im a Sheffield Wednesday fan (stop the sniggering), and a season ticket owner at that. For anyone who knows much or pays attention to Division One, you will realise that we aren’t exactly doing well, that’s an understatement though. We are really doing crap. Lying second from bottom with Brighton having 2 games in hand and only a point behind us, things are looking a little bleak for us.
On one hand, I can see us going down this season. Only won one game this season, coming at Hillsborough against out local rivals the Piggies (Sheff Utd). We really should have won many more than this, and, though this might be the case for many clubs, we really haven’t had any luck at all. Many games have gone where we have played brilliantly, but then ended up loosing to stupid mistakes or not hanging on for the win. If these 4 or 5 games hadn’t gone the way they had, we would be mid-table at least.
Looking at our squad though, on paper we are not a bad team at all, we are pretty good, capable of being in the same position as say Coventry or teams around there. But our past managers (Wilson, Jewell, Shreeves and Yorath) have not been able to do anything with them, but that, I feel is down to the fact that they weren’t all that good at the time. Now we have a new manager in, Mr Chris Turner, an ex-owls player, whose job it is to turn these players into a team capable of doing something.
Now earlier I said, that I think there is a chance that we will go down, but, as a fan, you have to believe that things are going to turn around, and the good days are going to come back, I mean, we have had these black days for a few years now. Im just hoping something happens soon, and that my club becomes a force again.
As for the Division One this season, it’s a pretty open league, and although Portsmouth are running away with it right now, I feel anyone could make a push for a good finish. It’s very wide open. No teams are really 'so' much better than any of the others, none of the teams ive seen come to Hillsborough have been much better than us, and none of the teams ive gone away to see have been outstanding either.
Its going to be interesting to see how the season finishes at the top, but for me, more so what happens at the foot of the table.
Anyway, come on, theres got to be some fans of the Nationwide league teams here, and not all sheep following glory hunters. :P
Up the Owls!!

Heh, I was at the QPR v Cardiff game last night - in amongst a load of QPR fans.
They weren't very happy people!! Cardiff banged 4 second half goals past QPR, and I had to sit there pretending to groan! There was some other cardiff supporter in amongst us somewhere who cheered when the second goal went in, he nearly got lynched on the spot. He had to leg it out of the stadium, and about 5 rough looking blokes followed hm out.
Anyway, hatrick for Rob Earnshaw and Cardiff are top of D2, must SURELY get promoted this season.

Incase you can't tell, I'm a Bristol City fan.
Aswell as a United fan, obviously.
But I've also had my eye on Watford for the last 5 or 6 years as I've got familly up-there.

I support PNE as I was born in Preston and haved lived here most of my life (the only exception being 3 years in Leeds at uni).
In terms of Premiership teams I like to see Liverpool and Southhampton doing well. Dunno why I like to see Liverpool doing well, probably cos they have a lot of English players. As for Southampton, I used to go to school with Beattie so I like to see that he is on form (especially at the moment).

I was at the game mate. :D
Sat in front of the band and the executive boxes looking across the goal. Brilliant night that was. Super goal from big 'ol Efan Ekoku, shame he was a crap player for most of the season though. I actually followed our whole cup run last year, went to all the home games and away games, including the loss at Ewood Park. Still a great game though.

Very true. And we have some real important games coming up soon, especially a home game against Brighton, we must win that, that really is the biggest game of the season for us i think, at this stage. Its going to be very very tense.

My number one team is Wycombe. I don't just 'follow' them, I actually support them. I get the p!ss taken out of me rotten cos of it, but hey, I'm proud of it. Heck, just look at Mr. Ritze mocking Lawrie Sanchez and Dannie Bulman is the Sports Chain :cD
