KivoOwl Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Can we put the final nail in the coffin of this ridiculous mantra now? Over the years I've really felt like WAWAW meant something. Away support, Wednesdayite's Smile tickets, Owls in the Park, Community programme - all that is good about this club - all in it together to push us forward. Brilliant. We're All Wednesday. Yesterday we were given the news that for our opening day fixture, the cheapest seat in the house for an adult would cost £39. Initially, most people showed their disgust at such a price hike, and even most of those who somehow understood the pricing were sympathetic towards those who would no longer be able to go. Today however, we've seen dozens of sickening posts that have well and truly dented the 'WAWAW' tag. They've not tried to justify the prices with logic, they've just set out to alienate other Wednesday fans. 'If you can't afford it, tough' 'You should have bought a season ticket' 'Go and watch Rotherham instead' 'You don't have the right to go and watch Wednesday' 'It's business now, if you can't afford it we don't need you' 'You just need to save up a bit more - it's only a couple of pints' What sort of attitude is that towards your fellow Wednesdayite? Your fellow Wednesdayite who is worrying about not being able to watch the boys in blue and white? It's been utterly galling to see so many Wednesday fans pull the ladder up and exclaim 'I'm alright Jack'. WAWAW? Only, it seems, if you can afford to go the matches.

Thick I know we have the odd tw@t among us - which club doesn't. But the amount of messages like those above that I've seen on here or social media has been thoroughly depressing.

Let it go Lee.Unfortunately the price is the price the club won't change their minds.Incidentally what do you think the club should be charging,genuine question that no one seems to answer.

EcclesallOwl Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I think people saying the chairman should apologise, he's worse than Dave Allen and that they want him to go are stranger Edited July 16, 2015 by EcclesallOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEARSON Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 You're making it sound like we're supporting a convicted rapist Some people just aren't overly offended by the prices Those people have generally bought season tickets at early bird prices and continue on saying 'well you should have done the same' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
