Big Ron's Sovereign Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just now, hirstyboywonder said: Of course it's petty and reactionary to give them what they want just as it was petty and childish for anyone to ever ask in the first place. This is sport, you pay your money you take your chance, there is no guarantee of success or enjoyment. How many owners in the history of professional football have done this previously, do you think it will be an annual offer from now on with him in charge by which supporters can flounce off and get their money back when things don't go to plan? Even if you think it was the right thing to do surely it should have been done on a direct basis without going public to all fans on the website? Do you honestly think it would be kept private ?

It was well documented some wanted out, if he’d ignored em he’d have still been vilified. Why is it petty to give them what they wanted? Rhodes is working out as a poor signing but of course he was signed because the fans wanted him. Fans also wanted cheaper prices, blue and white stripes, a more public and accessible for all celebration of 150 years and a prominent game to celebrate the anniversary, why didn't he give them what they wanted on these points?

Do you honestly think no one ion the history of football has ever asked for their money back? I am pretty sure no owner has responded by offering all fans a free for all in terms of money back on season tickets. Or has every other owner got this wrong and DC has shown them the way to go? Do you think this will be an annual offer? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh FFS some wanted out. DC is allowing em to, he’s attempting to weed out the rot. Now he’s getting stick for letting em go, he’d get stick for keeping em. Some folk are intent on pi55ing the man off. If fickle fans want out, go. I’m fed up of hearing em bleat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hillsborough Mole Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 30000 users of this site and still nobody has admitted to asking for a refund before the Chairmans meltdown on the Epilogue Does anybody know anybody who prompted this? Anybody?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a very good point. I've thought for a while that DC just r doesn't 'get' the humour of fans. 9/10ths of the stuff on here is tongue in cheek. Just wonder if he takes things literally.

But he wouldn’t get stick for keeping them. No chairman in the history of Sheffield Wednesday has had stick for not refunding season tickets. It’s just not a thing. Never has been.

Dick_Turpin Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 And I’m not giving him stick for offering it. I’m not bothered but to say he’d get slagged off is paranoid nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something that I noticed living in the Far East for many years - they take everything so damn seriously even when what you are saying is clearly meant as a joke. Also many cannot grasp the concept of irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is if a fan isn't happy roger off mine is if a fellow fan thinks it's ok to say roger off I'm fed up of hearing you to other fans. I’m sick of folk berating our Chairman no matter what he does. Thanks for your kind words btw, as your’re new here (December 2017) you might be advised to discuss the post not the poster Edited January 3, 2018 by Big Ron's Sovereign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not berated him for everything he does, I've been very complimentary of him at times, yet you have seemingly lost your cool with me because I think this is an awful move that no owner of our club or any other has done before. Excuse me if I see this as petulant and ill conceived on his part rather than revolutionary forward thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chairman is giving “fans” what they wanted and he’s getting flak for giving it em. The owner is not being petulant it’s the fans that bought ST who are wanting out that are. How is DC in the wrong here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
