Just picked up a small box of mystery Angels rookie auto cards, about 10 of them apparently, for £40. Love a little gamble haha. I will be doing phase 2 of thining my gigantic baseball card collection down this weekend I think.

The EFL licence, the heritage and (you would hope) the ground. That’s it. That’s the nub of it. And don’t forget what happened to Wimbledon, the heritage mattered little to MK Dons in the end. #SWFC

Hold your nerve again today #SWFC fans. Don’t forget that #WAWAW is meant to mean something. Don’t forget that your fellow Owl is not the enemy, regardless of their views. Don’t lose sight of what’s important. #ChansiriOut

Please don’t be like this. Of course the squad isn’t good enough for this level, and that isn’t their fault. I beg people to get behind the lads on the pitch. Your anger is misplaced. #SWFC

I cannot emphasise how big the emotions are when you see one of your boys score the team’s first ever goal at this level. Suddenly things get real. It sinks in. The Marshall Islands are on the world stage, and have officially scored their first ever goal. Brings back memories!

Just read through some of the forum public posts. And caught up with the #SWFC hashtag on here. Not even bothering looking on Facebook. Divided we fall. And we are divided.

Zach Neto is a proper ball player. Genuinely excited about building a franchise around him. If the Angels dare to dream… Also, light that baby up. Nice win to round off the weekend. #RepTheHalo

I am very pleased for Morecambe fans that their club has survived. But I am rather shocked that Derek Adams has been sacked, despite dipping his hand into his own pocked to help staff at the troubled club, and with no time to prove himself to the new owners. Awful optics.

Utterly bizarre that a sportswriter who is a #SWFC fan seems to have blocked most Owls fans on the platform being used to monetise the content… aimed at Wednesday fans. I don’t think that business model will catch on.

There were only a handful on none #SWFC players I idolised, as a kid. Laurie Cunningham was one of them. youtu.be/3pCeRUVBT14?si…

It’s a funny old world. I have no “in the know” claim here, just merely hypothesising. But it seems to me he has zero intention of actually selling #SWFC I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Dejphon Chansiri either has an upturn in his other business finances, which means he can

Just need to emphasise again here, I’m just some bloke on X writing a “what if” post. I’m seeing a few people demanding I give info or getting angry in the replies. None of us know what his plans are, other than he isn’t selling despite there being offers.

Wrexham. You’re good people. You’ve made up for my last trip to Wales. Pontypridd people, I still haven’t forgiven you.

I think that it is quite easy to simultaneously support those who have already withdrawn from the #SWFC ‘engagement panel’ and hold the opinion that all others should withdraw, because under Chansiri it’s a pointless thing. Whilst also being kind to the fan groups who have yet

Still scratching my head at the division and fallout over what the #SWFC engagement panel should look like. It’s quite simple, imho. One formal supporter’s group (let’s say the Trust) exists. They are the ratified official group for ALL Owls fans, democratic and transparent.
