Bet it didn't take this long to get his name painted all over The Rustbucket.
A few weeks ago, I brought news from the darkside of the 150th Celebration logo watch (hand made by Sekonda), for a bargain £150 (about £80 with no logo...).
Anyway, doing the rounds is a rant from an oinker who claims he has stumped up his cash to find that the watch hasn't yet been made, and he's got a six month wait, although the cash is already firmly in the Piggy Bank. What a glorious 150 year anniversary its been. No kit, imaginary watches, the worlds largest fruitcake testicle, 2-4. Fantastic.
They were late starting that game too dint start playing till 2nd half and we beat em 2-1 in that too![]()
I still think it is a carefully worked out plan the “gentrify” the club and get rid of the working class support. Every action he has done has been to try and price out the normal fans, and to restrict the sales, for example the policy of stopping selling season tickets in July.
He doesn't want people to attend matches in replica shirts he wants them in shirts and ties. Every time a “yob” is seen in a Wednesday shirt it downgrades the brand that he wants to create. Change the shirt so that you can distinguish between the old and the new, in gradual stages first reduce the stripes, second get rid of the stripes, stage 3 next year keep the design but change the colour, I can't see him being daft enough to change it to red, but you can imagine the spiel “we have listened to our fans who thought this years kit was too similar to clubs like Ipswich, so this year it will be the same kit but in orange as this keeps with the tradition of the club because we have used an orange 2nd kit sometime in the past”. Of course all Wednesday fans will refuse to wear it and may boycott the club and he will have achieved his aim
I agreed with all of the except the last sentace. They’re so brainwashed on NKT that they would convince themselves that red was always meant to to be their colour but we nicked it and an online poll would show massive support for Chancer. Look how so many turned on their own and have tried to justify the exorbitant prices.
The only thing massive about the Pork (as I’m sure Chancer has figured out by now) is the way so many of them readily delude themselves and accept any old shiite thrown their way if they think it’ll get them the positive attention they crave. They don’t look beyond the here a now like you have and see what a laughing stock their club has become and what lies ahead.
I popped over to porktalk the other evening (the www.porktalk.co.uk domain is alive and well, again..!) and there is a thread about their Chief Operating fella, responsible for marketing etc.
Now if he was here, he would be getting panned mercilessly for the massive cock up with ticket pricing, boxes that can't be sold, the missing kit, the invisible merchandise, the giant fruitcake testicle, the watches that exist only in fanciful imaginations and so forth. Each one is a failure in its own right, but overall it just screams 'giant stinking clusterf**k', yet there is a queue of posters willing to support him and give him the benefit of the sliver of doubt that might possibly exist in a the 9th dimension. If he was here, he'd have to be sneaked out the Lane in the boot of someones car with a blanket over him to avoid the angry mob (all expect for TT who would be booing King Kev and banging on about 9 duff managers or whatever it is he does...)
I think it will be down to how they do this season, if they get promoted then they will accept anything, but if, horrors of horrors they end up below us, they should be able to see that all the things they swallowed like have to pay ridiculous price so that they can buy a striker for £10 Million which is the only way in the Championship, is complete rubbish. But the same could be said for religious cults who predict the end of the world on a certain date and when that date arrives everyone is still here, you would think the cult would end but they carry on believing it was a miscalculation and a new date is worked out and everyone is happy.
But over on NKT I don't see them as pigs but more like sheep, one person has an idea and everyone falls in line with that idea not matter how ridiculous, for example when the Tunaman came a poster wrote how the poster had been on a tour of Southampton FC, and what a great management system they have got. Very soon the entire board had convinced themselves that this was the management structure Wednesday was going to have, without any shred of evidence.
There is already a sizeable minority who are against the removal of the stripes, change the colour and the majority will want a return to Blue and White stripes, and you will find that the entire site hated the Tunaman from day one and it was NKT who organised all the protests against him coming.
