We were in the prem our last away game was boro, and the watford fans turned it into a party with alot of people even dressing up and it was a class day, drew 1-1 in the end. Our last away game this year is reading, but i think it would be better to do it at sheffield united, so we need as many people as possible to do things e.g take beachballs/other inflatables, dress up, baloons or whatever to make it the awayday to remember from the prem season, if everyone did something out of them 3 would be good, and the course most importantly stand up and sing for the whole game instead of all this sitting down c-r-a-p.
Stand up and sing - yes. Colours I'll be wearing. But if anyone passes me a wig/clapper/kazoo/beachball I'll not be best pleased. If you wanna go to a pantomime they're run every xmas time around the UK. That 'out of your league' stuff is funny once but this time we probably should have stayed up but won't because of mistakes. Last time we never really had a cat's chance in hell, so it was easier to forget about.
Whats wrong with beachballs? my mate is a city fan and been to an away game in the city one day when watford weren't playing and looads had inflatables, io understand clappy sticks as they are the sh!ttest way to make noise and just make us look like ***** and wigs just make you look like a **** as well, but beachballs and stuff would be a laugh
Well I don't think the comparision is that invalid - after all we have exactly the same number of points at the same stage seven years ago!
I just think last time round we were promoted off the back of another promotion, it was highly unexpected (to the extent that we weren't even in the playoff's with a couple of matches to go) and was all good fun. The club couldn't really invest and we succumbed to a very strong Premiership. This time round I feel mistakes were made from the start and I'm disappointed as I feel we had an excellent chance of staying up. I just think it's time we stopped being funny quirky Watford who everybody 'ahhhs' at and become ruthless. Making light of relegation wouldn't exactly help everyone to take us more seriously. By the way, good to see you over here NWHornet.
I think the Premiership is actually a lot stronger this time round, especially in defence - the Bradford side that fluked their way to survival on a team of aging journeymen (their only real quality players being Stuart McCall, Peter Beagrie and Dean Windass) would today struggle to beat Sunderland's miserable points total. We lost a lot of games 3-2 and there were a fair few highscoring matches involving other teams - West Ham 5-4 Bradford, Bradford 4-4 Derby, Everton 4-4 Leeds, Man Utd 3-3 Southampton, Middlesbrough 3-4 Man Utd etc - which were more down to the quality of defending (or lack of) than skillful attacking play, entertaining though those games were. Now our speciality seems to be 0-0 draws or 1-0 defeats!
Boro away last time was good, but there are too many to$$ers that follow Watford FC now it wouldnt be the same
