Sham67 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) This sort of rubbish is what people like these days , Wednesday are leaps and bounds behind most clubs in this division for 'the match day experience' it's about time someone tried to address this Really? I know I don't go away much these days and when I do I usually turn up 2.58 after consuming a small brewery of beer. But I've never seen any of this stuff anywhere else.

But I've never seen any of this stuff anywhere else. I'd say the first highlighted statement is the reason for the second highlighted statement.

poite Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I remember when I used to go to watch Wednesday as a child. I would sit on those bars on the kop with my dad stood behind me so I didn't fall off when waddle burst down the wing, Palmer made a crunching tackle and when hirsty smashed another goal in. As a child, that's the only thing I needed to enjoy the Wednesday experience. Never once did I go home saying to my dad "hey dad, that 3-0 win was great, but it would have been better if I had a balloon and a painted face". Never. I know that there's a different department working on this to the one recruiting the players and I'm sure Mr chansiri isn't sat in his office thinking that instead of buying Jordan rhoades we should get a circus clown instead but if they just put a team on that field, that kids could admire and say "I'm proud to support Sheffield Wednesday" the club would be delivering everything that anyone could ever expect.

Why can't we do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Why can't we do both? We can, but my point is that if the football was bang on we wouldn't need anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 A few of you missing the point here It's not a 'jugglers or good players' scenario I think you're missing the point. Nobody thinks we're getting this instead of players. People are just saying that you wouldn't need this if the team was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Great_Hope Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We can, but my point is that if the football was bang on we wouldn't need anything else Still don't see why we can't do both. Even if it only keeps the younger kids occupied while the match starts its worth it. All its costing the club is some free tickets to sit in some otherwise empty seats.

Claudio Tankisco Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The club appear to be making match day more than just turning up and watching the game, by trying to involve supporters in what some might see as being an enjoyable way of killing a few minutes, and perhaps entertaining younger kids who might otherwise become bored very quickly. Let's see how it pans out, before ridiculing the idea, and dismissing it out of hand. This. I was at a baseball game yesterday (Tampa bay rays v Boston Red Sox) and we got there a two and a bit hours early and I thought Christ I'm gonna be bored shitless until the start. Turns out I wasn't bored at all. Don't get me wrong the entertainment wasn't my cup of tea but still mildly entertaining none the less and the time still passed quickly. Too many times I've sat in hillsborough and thought Christ I'm bored at the same old monotonous stuff that goes on. Bloody bin challenge at half time? Really is that the best that can we can come up with??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 what harm can it do if it amuses the kids go for it,the adults could join in if the match is crap a few painted on smiles wouldn't go amiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand owl Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This could put a few off applying If you are selected for a matchday role, you are invited to stay and watch the game!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Tankisco Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Baseball fan, or just doing the tourist think at Fenway? Not really considered myself a baseball fan but it's pretty much on TV continuously so I've watched a lot and I've kind of got into it. Doing the tourist thing not at the Fenway. At the Tropicana Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
