RichSheffWeds Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Whenever Hillsborough is full I start dreaming about seeing 30,000 Wednesday fans watching us ever week - then we see 16k in the next home game. Makes me think our destiny is ultimately in our own hands - forgot MM throwing more money at us - if we step up to the plate we can make this club great again. If just 4,000 of those extra fans turned up to every home game at an average of £20 each there would be another £1,840,000 in the player budget. That is just short of four quality players on £10k a week each Maybe I should just accept we are destined to be at best a run of the mill Championship club at best and stop dreaming about us making a real difference???

vontemp Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I had the same conversation with a mate earlier, imagine if we had those sort of numbers on a regular basis. Don't see it happening unless we get back to the Premier League tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It proves if we ever got in the prem I bet for some games we could do with a 50 000 seater But who wants to watch us play yeovil and wycombe 16 000 good in this division.

Lord Nilsson Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Would reducing ticket prices have any effect? We've got enough room haven't we?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fan base which wants the club to succeed? Man City seemed to do it not that long ago, remember their crowds in this league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowyOwl13 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think we'll get about 17k for Bury, and 20k for Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 a vicous circle though isn't ,though it would be brilliant , the extra fans won't come unless we are playing well , verses the players we need to make ourselves play well every week , one kind of cancels the other pot i'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had more misery than them Last time in this division we averaged 26000 Or summat but people can only take so much I stand by 16 to 17k is good in this division.

With the money and atmosphere we could go along way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Plus people aren't exactly flush with cash at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The recession hasnt helped either, we are very loyal fans, but also very yorkshire, we dont like watching garbage every week. i think if we go up, we would average 24-26k but i do think that under 20k is a poor attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiK Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think the state of the economy is the biggest factor. I'd been to every home game this season (cup & league) when I've not been working, the exception being Stevenage, and the only reason I didn't go to that one was I had £4 in the bank. I was gutted to miss it but after an expensive day and evening out for the yeovil & blackpool matches the week before the money runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hopefully a few lost fans who came back on Sunday will have been reminded about what Sheffield Wednesday is all about, and will return again to a couple more games this season. At the end of the day, playing against small clubs with next to no support isn't appealing to the floaters. We need to get promoted, and we need a team that is doing OK. Until then, we should all just keep doing what we can to encourage people to get to Hillsborough. We've lost 2 games at home all season, so they've got good odds of seeing Wednesday get a result!

A large chunk of it after some increased costs would clearly be available to improve our playing squad, in particular player wages rather than transfer fees - what's your point???
