I'm sure there will be some moraless souls who think that's a brilliant idea. Edited July 21, 2016 by SouthStandParty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Di Catio Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Back to the steering group. It was said the majority liked the shirt and quite a few were wearing it. Having spoken to many other fans, not met many folk that do like it, their kids have got it but that's not a barometer tbh The steering group seems to be a waste if time IMO. Has anything positive come out of it rather than them being fed Tea and biscuits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anything positive come out of it rather than them being fed Tea and biscuits? Not sure what you were expecting the steering group to achieve but: It did open the debate about kids tickets being too much and resulted in an immediate, albeit small, reduction in price. Plans to introduce ticket offers for 5 game/10 game batches continue to be explored. feedback has been provided on issues such as stewarding, catering and road safety on exiting the ground - catering improvements are being implemented following feedback. more off-field improvements have been discussed and draft plans have been made but any improvements that require significant spending at this stage are on hold as the team on the pitch is the priority. Even when ideas put forward are dismissed at least they are done so by the chairman of the club face-to-face with an explanation of his reasoning. How many clubs at this level provide the opportunity to discuss issues with the chairman rather than just the occasional appearance at a working mans club which results in the club telling the fans they are exploring every avenue to improve the team? If you think it offers nothing fair enough but no reason to slag it off or those that attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fiver off the kids shirts is still a fiver more than what the tags said before they sneakily cut em off. IMO the 5/10 game tickets would be hard to police and there could end up with more folk wanting to go to X game I can see that it can be a good idea but those that are on it don't seem to be a fair reflection of our fanbase.

Fair enough it's Chansiri's decision but if only a fraction of folk speak against it and by the sounds of, half heartedly then he can see no issue with it whatsoever.

I was one of the few that stated I didn't like the shirt in a show of hands - there were certainly no more than 5 of us in a room of around 40 and when the rest of the room are saying how they love it and the ticket office manager is stating record sales were taken then it's not a case of having the balls to speak up. Chansiri knew it would be an issue - at the previous meeting he said the shirt would be blue with white but he inferred it might not be universally popular. I said the £5 off was not enough but it's £5 that would still be on if it was not for the steering group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for patting yourselves on the back for getting a few quid knocked off when it's still more than what they're selling it for in the ticket. I'm lost for words. Is this going to be mentioned at the next meeting? "yeah I'm definitely saying summat" "me too" "ooh look, they've got custard creams" "munch, munch erm what was I going to say?"

No one is patting themselves on the back, you asked for examples and I gave some. Tell me what your spouting has gained? Yes, the room was vastly in favour of the new kit which surprised and disappointed me but record sales reflect the fact that it is not as unpopular as those going on and on and on about would want it to be.

That's normal for every game isn't it? Every supporter will want to go to the more glamorous games. You sell a block of 10 vouchers to be redeemed at any home league game of the holders choice. After season ticket holders and members, the vouchers become the next priority...possibly even the same as general sale. Redeeming the vouchers is subject to availability. IMO its a great idea for those people who can't get to every game due to work or other commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deleted member Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Does anybody genuinely think the kids shirts would have been reduced if an accountant at the meeting hasdn't pointed out the VAT issue meaning the club were ripping off parents? The subsequent fallout on social media and here about it led to the reduction, nothing to do with the steering 'group' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I think some people on here are a bit harsh on those that go to the steering groups. People who have given time up to try and make Sheffield Wednesday better for fellow supporters. I can well understand people who might find it hard to stand up and be critical of a multi millionaire business man in front of him with 40 people looking on. Something I would find difficult to do. I might disagree with some aspects of steering group and what was said but wouldn't never criticise anyone who went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
