I doubt Leicester would have won the league if they had stayed at their old ground etc Leicester nearly failed to exist because of their new ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I just find it very strange. And a little bit concerned that DC is sticking his nose into everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deleted member Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I travel fairly widely, and wherever I go, when I tell people I'm from Sheffield, invariably they ask if I'm a Wednesday fan. I don't think we needed to make a goalkeeper a right back for publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostowl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Haha its made the BBC sport website. I have to admit Bully's tweet that says the numbers were nothing to do with him or Carlos a little concerning. Whether people think squad numbers are a big deal or not I think this will wee wee some players off and there is no need to do that.

Or Steven Fletcher on his 40 grand a week. "Grrrr I would have been a 9 if I didn't sign for this stupid club!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players do all sorts of weird things to get the number they want. A Hibs forward once wore 01 when 10 was taken. I seem to remember a guy in Italy using a plus sign so that his number added up to the one he wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've heard of them. As opposed to; Sheffield who? Wednesday? Never heard of them. Was just abouts to post this.... There are probably numerous reasons for the strange numbers. Preference, superstition, 2 numbers adding up to make an unavailable number. The Wildsmith thing could be player preference or to give the lad even more confidence, even to raise his profile and value maybe?? The one thing I think most people have over looked is generating publicity. All these decisions which seem bizarre don't just get the beaks on OT flapping. Just look at some of the newspaper articles they have generated. People all over the country and even all over the world are talking about Sheffield Wednesday. There's a saying that any publicity is good publicity. This is only true to a certain degree (Ched for instance). Take a step back a moment. Some of these decisions are controversial for a reason....... DC is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 2 hours ago, Donny.Owl said: Changes plural. Change to the badge, change from stripes as he doesn't like them. Guess some are concerned as to what's next and where will it end? Just trying to understand their concern. Think the changes so far have been unnecessary and show a lack of understanding as to the importance of traditions in football clubs. I personally only dislike the changes because I think they've been badly done, hate the badge and kit. Think they're awful and just wrong, but that's just my taste. Then again,I get worked up whenever I dislike a kit design so... We did this as recently as the 1990s Who flipping cares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Personally I think it's hilarious. I wish they'd gone totally mental and had no one 1-11 cant wait for the chants of England's number 2 towards Wildsmith. once again most SWFC fans are showing their inability to adapt to change.

People complain about the kit as it breaks tradition. The same people complain about the badge - even though we now have a more 'traditional' Wednesday badge. The numbers are bizarre but I can't say it is worth having a moan about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
