Oh dear, some of you can't seem to grasp irony, piss taking (self deprecation) and a few home truths. I also suspect that some of you have gotten out the rose tinted glasses a little to early.
So let me explain, please.
1) The Wembley thing is my stand/protest at the extortionate prices charged for wembley appearances based on the greed of the FA/FL and the well supported mantra that the fans always will pay, cause we do. Nothing to do with the club i love.
2) I have three ST's and I go to away games, again I think I spend enough following the town.
3) I loved Di Canio, like pretty much everyone else. It got the club noticed and back on the map and we had some cracking times did we not? I knew, like you that it would all end either in tears or in some other spectacular way and so it came to pass but not quiete how i expected.
4) You will not find a more loyal and positive suppporter of this my/our club.
5) Friday. "Adver News. MacDonald tells the players their future is in their hands", and I responded with a yes flippant comment but with a massive ring of truth, low and behold....
6) Saturday. "Adver News. MacDonalds budget blow" Well fcuk me, what a surprise. You couldn't make it up and I couldn't miss the opportunity.
7) I warned everyone back in the autumn that there would be a price to pay if, if, we got promoted and the crux of the matter (forget black and his money or lack of) was that we did not have the fan base, capacity or self financing income to compete with the championship. If you went to Sheffield last Saturday like I did you'll see what I mean.
Premiership? No thanks, I don't watch it at home on Sky so why would I bother coming to SN1 to watch a bunch of overpaid mercanries pretending to love the club they play for (yeah it goes on in the lower leagues I know) and we've had a nasty taste of how shit it can be and the cost that comes with it with Di Canio & Spencer fleecing lowly Swindon. Did you know Spencer was taking 10K a month out of the club? or was it a week? And Di Canio and his backroom team milking us for £1m per annum?
9) I said at the beggining of LAST season before a ball was kicked in anger we would get promoted. I said it again at the beggining of this season. Until you know who fcuked off we were nailed on champions again. There, that's positivity for you. I hope we win today. Good old negative doom gloom and downright Victor Meldrew Fatbasher will be cheering all the way.
10) Lastly, I think the play off's will be two games to far sadly. If I'm wrong Jed & Co. can lord it up at Wembley with the knobs from the FA & FL at everyone's expense. We win great, we lose, always next season. But I refer you to point's 5 & 6. Enjoy today I will, honestly even if we loose funnily enough, cause that's the best bit about being a town fan, you never know. In the PL you know every week and season don't you?
