Wires71:



I was born in 1971 and my Dad took me home and away from 1978 season. It was our thing and I loved going to all the games with him. I lost him in 1996 (he was 52) and the Wire remains a strong connection to those times. 


I'm not a super fan but I love the club that represents the birthplace of my family. Notice I said club as I have seen enough owners, coaches and players come and go to realise it is the fans that are the true custodians of the club. In my view those lucky enough to be employed by the club have a high responsibility to them to make it the best club it can be in both sporting performance and reputation, and yes they are subject to fans assessment of how they are delivering under that responsibility. 

But we don't all have to agree but I would never attempt to supress the views of others. We can disagree and still avoid personal insults if we are mature.

My Dad took me to games too & we have a lot in common. The team had Brian Bevan in it. I was always going to be involved in sport. I probably don't expect such high standards as you from those employed by the club & fans differ so much that you'll never keep 'em all happy. I'm sure we'd get on fine together.

Captain Hook:

I started in 73 when my friend and his dad took me (a m a Newton lad so it could have been very different). His dad’s mantra was “oh well there’s always next year.. I think I’ve inherited it.
I really enjoy an exchange of views I just don’t like the labels that get thrown around. 
We do all want the best for our club, probably wouldn’t be a bad thing if we could occasionally meet up in real life over a Vimto or 2. Once you can put a face to someone it is a lot easier to be tolerant!
