Guest Deleted member Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 No you responded with an argument tha made no sense in regards to how a business should operate and how to bring more money into a club. I replied how it would work and makes complete sense to give away a few empty seats as it would bring in future revenue and profit into sheffield wednesday. You then didn't reply to my post that completely shot down your bizarre, condescending, sarcastic opinion. I will now leave you guys .... Don't go yet... tell us what the thread was called The reason I'm so interested is that for a long time Ive been an advocate of using our empty seats as an asset - pretty much how you've described Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markowl Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Some of you need a proper job. Or, find something constructive to do. Don't any of you know any pensioners who need their front gardens weeding? Is that a euphemism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Can't you leave all this arguing b@llocks in the Wednesdayite section? There are too many racists in the Wednesdayite section. Have you been in there lately? - it's all kicking off big time. Wednesdayite have been reported to the Womens Institute and Mums Net, now. And, I'm being serious.

jonesy87shef Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Don't go yet... tell us what the thread was called The reason I'm so interested is that for a long time Ive been an advocate of using our empty seats as an asset - pretty much how you've described Found my original post Back to the point of increasing revenue streams and raising the profile/popularity of the club. Blackburn have just been on sky sports news giving away 20 golden tickets (free season ticket to mark 20th anniversary of winning the prem) with the manager walking round the town centre handing them out to people in a Blackburn shirt. Just seems like a good idea and a positive story that outs their club in the media. Not saying we should be copying this but surely these are the kind of ideas our marketing/PR team should be thinking up Your post was nowhere near as long as I remember but I stand by it as you have been much much worse with other posters. Sarcastic and condescending. What a fantastic way to bring our average ticket revenue per fan down. Next.... This was my reply That's not very intelligent is it, 20 season tickets is all they gave away and first was to a kid. Doing it in the school holidays also increases the chances they will give it to a kid. This means there's a good chance they will need a guardian to go with them and surprisingly will have to pay money into the club. What's better giving away 20 seats nobody would have been sat it or give them away, making the club look better and getting them in the media spotlight and also increasing the chance those people will buy season tickets in the future. If just 1 fan buys a season ticket for the next 50 years at £500 (not counting inflation) that's £25,000 the club would receive by one extra fan. Do you understand marketing and business? It's not about what happens just now, it's about building for the future. I repeat, what's better, getting 20 extra fans in who will spend money on other things to do with the club, making them happy and more likely to invest in the product in the future? Or just having 20 empty seats to accompany the other 15,00 empty ones. What's your clever reply to this grandad? I had no reply and then the discussion went on with you and JTO discussing the German vs British model and then further down it went into academy talks. Thread was a good read actually. Think it was the championship finances one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Still awaiting Jonesys link to the topic he has referenced Sporty it took me a while to find. Not that bad obviously but like I say it tends to be an attitude you have towards people took look down our nose at and just brush off opinions without actual consideration and when promoted to reply when a sensible argument is put in front of you then you either try and change the subject of ignore it as you did in this case.

Guest Deleted member Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The thread had consistently referenced our average ticket price as being one of the lowest there is. And then your suggestion that we do the same as Blackburn would only drive it down further. I actually do agree with your point - though personally Ive advocated over the years doing it in a much bigger way. Not by giving out 20 golden tickets - but by utilising the whole lower Lepping Lane area and getting 1000 free kids in there from local schools for every game, with an accompanying parent. If my response to you made you feel compelled to write this I don't comment very often but you completely belittled me in a post I made in the transfer rumours thread a while ago. I said Blackburn were clever giving away 20 'golden season tickets to fans'. You insinuated that I was stupid and clueless and it was bad business if sheffield wednesday were to give away 20 tickets to random fans on the high street wearing Wednesday shirts.My reply which was something a long the lines if they are giving the tickets away to kids mainly, meaning that an adult would have to buy a season ticket to accompany their child to the game, also the fact that money would be spent on merchandise over the season . Then I pointed out if just 1 wednesday fan out of those 20 gets hooked and becomes a lifelong season ticket holder and buys merchandise and attends a few away games then in say for example a 50 year period it would bring in an extra say £50,000 into the football club. You then ignored my sensible reply and proceeded to slag off somebody else's ideas further down the thread. I would find quotes but it would take me hours to come across in that thread. I do feel slightly bad at singling you out in this thread but I have read your utter nonesense in this and multiple other threads. There are many on OT that do slag off posters and belittle them. You however give off the impression of being above the majority of posters and don't do this (which ylu clearly do) and when called out about things and seem to be losing a debate you go back to saying things like "debate the post and not the poster".Now the fact that someone who rarely posts and if I do it tends to be in a constructive manner comes on and says the above to you, then do you think there is something wrong with either your persona and the way you talk to people and come across on OT ? Or am I just a randomer whineing and I'm just like the rest of em. I will let you decide Then I think you have over reacted. How me saying 'next' in any way insinuated you are stupid and clueless is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
