What I have heard is that an authority (SAG?) won't renew the safety license for the North Stand beyond it's expiry in summer 2025. Major problem with the roof, and exit ramps too. The 'club' wanting to replace nuts and bolts rather than the comprehensive work needed. Someone very high up at the club wanted to see the damage for himself so there's a picture of him on top of the North Stand in a hard hat arguing the throw with structural engineers.

He’s done some amazingly stupid things over the years, but even I don’t think Chansiri will be stupid enough to respond to supporter protests while ever they number in the low hundreds.

Far more there than I expected.

Incredible video.

Was interviewed for the job a few years ago. By Att Chansiri.

For every game, from now until Chansiri finally twigs on that he's going to have to accept losing most of his money and sell to the best bidder. - Non-season ticket holders - don't buy a ticket. - Season-ticket holders - attend the game - don't buy anything on club premises. No beer, no merchandise, no programmes, no pies, not a penny. - Before the game - hundreds of biodegradable black balloons released in the ground. - On kick-off, hundreds of tennis balls onto the pitch - more than Reading did at the weekend. - Throughout the game, get behind the team - let the players know they have our support. - Second half kick-off - hundreds more tennis balls onto the pitch. Anyone that disagrees with you, tuts, tells you to sit down - ignore them and carry on doing whatever you can to save our football club.

Are those bottom two lines correct?

It's clear now that Chansiri has no future at SWFC. In a perfect world, someone will come in with an offer that reflects the club's worth (a fiver?) and the clown will realise that he has to cut his losses and escape with however much he can get. But we know that's not going to happen. What's more likely is that Chansiri will drag us through the mud for years and years to come - doing the bare minimum to keep the club afloat while simultaenously defunding it to the point where we can't even compete in the lower reaches of the EFL, in front of less than 10k fans. We can't let that happen. I don't know of anyone with a spare £200m knocking about, but fans DO still have an option - to defund him completely. - Stop buying tickets - Stop buying food and drink in the ground - Stop buying merchandise in the club shop - Absolutely no money to SWFC whatsoever When it comes to selling season tickets in December - don't give him a penny. His refusal to put money into the club and rectify the mess he has caused, along with our refusal to put money into the club, will force the issue. That points to administration - and I'd rather that happen as soon as possible. On the pitch we are a complete disaster. We are absolutely certain to be relegated this season in my opinion. We have a clueless manager and players nowhere near good enough for the level we're at. I would absolutely settle for us going into admin, take the points deduction, take the relegation, and start afresh in League 1 next season under a new owenership model. Thoughts?

No Bannan. Injured til next international break

George Hirst left the club after being frozen out by Chansiri for well over a year.

I thought the same. The truth will out one day, and a lot of Wednesday fans will feel very very silly in believing Chansiri over David Hirst.

Saw loads of Ipswich fans taunting Wednesdayites outside the Riverside after the game, and lots of angry dancing, but that was about it. Not condoning violence but poking at home fans after an away win isn't very sensible.

Wednesday's Ladies team have never been one of the biggest in the women's game, but I'm still scratching my head at just how far they have fallen in recent years. They were founder members of the FA National League in 1991, and lingered around the second tier until the early 2010s, but they have since suffered numerous relegations down the pyramid - from the Northern Combination, to the North East Regional League, to the North east Regional League Division One South, and after finishing bottom of that division, they were relegated this summer fo the seventh-tier Sheffield & Hallamshire Women's League - the women's equivalent of the County Senior League. This is Sheffield Wednesday we're talking about - in a county league. Playing against village teams and reserve XIs. Yesterday they played my little village club Kiveton Park in the Women's FA Cup 1st qualifying round, and Kivo comfortably beat them 3-0. This isn't a dig at the management or players at SWLFC - the side seemed to comprise of a very young set of players who were technically very good just beaten by a better side. But why on earth is our great club not represented way higher up in the women's pyramid? I know women's football isn't for everyone, and the issue of how the game funds itself is another debate altogether, but generally speaking, most professional clubs now have a women's team officially affiliated with them. As far as I'm aware, SWLFC are only affiliated in that they have the name and kit, but don't have any official connections with SWFC. I know that we currently have a chairman completely obsessed with getting to the Premier League, above anything else, but our club is one that has served the Sheffield community for over 150 years, and women's football is now very much a part of the community we need to be catering for. This isn't also a dig at SWFC alone. Where was the support for them yesterday? As I mentioned, this is a team of young girls who have some very good footballers - yesterday there were 400+ at Kiveton - and there weren't many Wednesday shirts in the crowd.

Anyone else hearing this? Regardless of the result this could be the best thing to happen today - Wednesday fans finally finding their voice and telling the clown in charge he isn’t wanted - in resounding numbers.

He's been poorly advised - He appointed, and sacked, the advisors. A lot of them. He's put loads of his own money into it - This is only a good thing if the money is spent well. Spent poorly, it just adds more value to the club when it comes time for him to sell up, meaning less interest. He's spent his money catastrophically. We might end up in administration - The post-Chansiri era would likely be rocky to start with - but only because of the damage he has done. The grass isn't always greener on the other side - I know this is Sheffield Wednesday but even we would struggle to find someone somewhere on this planet that could have have a football club as badly as he has. He engages with the fans - He sits lecturing at fans forums until the early hours until everyone's had enough and gone to bed. He's learning He's not.
