Greeny79 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The number of times I have seen such utter crap spouted such as the above and things such as.... ''real fans will find the money'' '' It will weed out the part timers'' '' you should have got a season ticket'' '' its what it costs if we want to get to the premier league'' ''its your own fault'' ''true fans will financially support the club'' And other similar absolute codsh1t really is depressing, as far as I am concerned anyone spouting such utter tw@tyness has never been a ''proper wednesdayite'' I don't care if you go every game (and probably just sit there and moan for 90 minutes no matter what and boos their own players), always buy a season ticket etc etc etc and think you are a bigger fan than someone who can't get to as many games for whatever reason, money/other commitments etc You are no better, you are not a bigger fan, you are a jumped up arrogant thrower who does not give a shuffle about your fellow fans so you can drop the WAWAW crap because you are not, I'm glad some season ticket holders have been rewarded for their loyalty ...but at what price ? at the price of your fellow fans and you haven't got that good a deal they have just manipulated it to seem you have, a good deal would be money off the already overpriced tickets from last season and a refund for all the utter shyte we have poured money into the club to watch for the best part of 20 years. My old man has been going 50 odd years, all through the 70's home and away which he tells me about and how they were far worse than owt we have seen etc, took me as a kid in the 80's and glory days of the early 90's, he works in a steel factory ( A real sheffielders job, you can't call yourself a Sheffielder if you haven't worked in a steel factory and busted your balls for roger all for best part of 50 years) *I am being sarcastic for the thicker among us ;) he can't afford a season ticket but goes to probably 80/90% of home games maybe more maybe less depending on this and that, can he afford to go this season now ? can he roger, so he's not a #TRUEFAN according to some of these absolute weiners talking balls myself I go when I can, generally about half the home games, and a few away here and there, again sometimes more, sometimes less depending on health/money/other commitments (I love Wednesday but they are not my number 1 priority in life exactly, its a game of football at the end of the day) I was looking forward to this season massively, not fussed if we went up, part of me wouldn't want to as I find the premiership dull and the championship an open and exiting league, good football, a play off push and a decent cup run would be for me a great season, planned on trying to get to a few more games if possible.... now the prices have been announced,....couldn't give a poo poo as I won't be going, priced out of the game which was already overpriced by a club I love I'll go max £30 a ticket and that's too much by 50% IMO any games more than that, no thanks, I don't accept being taken for a mug by anyone least of all someone/something I love, and we as a collective have been taken as that for 15 odd years, just cows to be milked, you talk about loyalty? what about loyalty to us the fans for supporting such a shambles for so long?? where is that? This is a massive balls up, attendances will be shocking and atmosphere worse than ever, imagine if we start off bad? those groans turn into boos pretty quickly in a half full Hillsborough, how you going to get the floating fans back? lower prices? too late for that. full respect to those who follow blindly, year after year, season ticket after season ticket, home and away, but if your going to look down your nose all smug and think your more of a Wednesdayite than others!!!!!???? I hope you choke on your prawn sarnies tbh WAWAW ???? Really ??? are we ??? To the proper Owls who have season tickets yet understand what all this means for us ''none proper fans'' and are more bothered about Wednesday rather than some kind of one up manship on other fans, I hope we have a great season and you get to see some amazing football and have a bit of glory. to the smug lobbers out there, lets just hope your health and wealth holds up for next season eh?

Semedo's ferret Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Prob covered in one of the other thread's, but do we have a supporters club that are actively seeking answers /debate with our marketing team at Hillsborough? I'm a season ticket holder that is gutted for friends n family that might go to half a dozen games a season. Genuine good supporters that swfc need just as much as me. The only way out of this is for the club to get a offer on season tickets out now (2nd phase prices) and some kind of guideline on how the categories will be used. Hopefully by saying 60% will be cat C-D, 10% cat E-G etc. Honestly believe we have just waisted a brilliant opportunity to achieve 27k plus averages this season.

Bruce Edwards Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The way I see it is if we're winning people will go, if we're not then they won't wether he charges £50 or £10. Wednesday fans have always been the same since I've been watching them since the late 60's. Over 40000 can turn up for the play off final, sold out against Wycombe and yet even under the better times under Howard wilkinson and Trevor Francis we were only getting around 27000 Whilst I agree football is a rip off unfortunately that's the way it is now days and i would imagine even if we had 40000 every week Mr C would still be making a loss.

boomshaketheroom Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have been living abroad for 4 years and il be visiting Sheffield/home in august and October this year. Ive been planning my trip (holiday in Spain Italy and Oktoberfest in Germany and then a flight to Australia) around getting to see a couple of games, reading and hull. The prices are just too much for me know tho, as I'm bringing over Canadian dollars it could work out close to $100 for a match, a friend pointed out we could watch man city for cheaper, gutted the club has priced me out.

Daavies; Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Like I've said numerous times, I'd rather watch lower league football every year for the rest of my life it it meant all my family and friends could afford to go. If premier league football means my family can't afford to go to the matches every week with me then I'm sorry, but it's not for me. Football on a Saturday was one of the few occasions me and my family could Bond and all get on and when the few successful times came, it made it that much sweeter.

toooldforthis Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I can afford the tickets and happy to support the club I've supported for all my life. Having said that there are fans who go whenever they can and they are just as good as me. I wouldn't mind one bit if they had a policy for those on low wages, those unable to find work or those with families that can prove they can't afford it, to pay from as little as 1/5th of what I pay just so they can enjoy the club we love. I'd love to see the ground with 25k-30k in each game and so would the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Some seem to be overlooking the fact that football isn't like most other businesses. The clubs have a captive audience to some extent, which means that the normal rules of supply and demand don't apply. I live closer to three Premier League grounds than I do to Hillsborough, and it looks like tickets will be cheaper at each as well. All things being equal, the choice would be simple: I'd choose the higher quality of football, closer to my doorstep, at the lower prices. But there's no way that would ever happen, because this is football, not a cinema or a restaurant. We have emotional ties to our clubs; they're part of our identity. If my mobile phone provider starts charging too much, I'll shop around and find a better deal; if my football club starts charging too much, I'll grudgingly pay up. The clubs know this and can use our loyalty against us if they choose to, which is what makes our current situation feel so unfair to so many.

Guest mkowl Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The flip side of the coin is that us season ticket holders have helped keep the club running alongside the chairman, have sat quietly as ticket offers come and go and have then listened to these occasional visitors bemoan the standard of players and quality of the game and that they won't come again until the chairman puts his hand into his pocket Its all a bit chicken and egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
