Just a personal thing but all the 'Sheffield Wednesday Family' thing I find a bit cringey. Edited January 10, 2018 by matthefish2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see the back of him you're definitely going about it the right way. My last word by the way. It must be something about attending your first game in 1957, me to a tee.

mark.flem Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I think its fair enough personally. When you bought a season ticket there was no room for refund, so by offering one he’s already done more than he needed to. If anyone wanted to take the offer up, why should they then keep their points? Why should they be able to buy a season ticket again, if it goes badly again they’ll probably want another refund! When you buy a season ticket, you make a commitment to support the club over the season, there is never a guarantee it’ll go well on the pitch. I’ve had one years & currently have a 3 year one, we’ve been in a much worse state than we are now in the past.

If so - they wouldn't be able to get one because there'd be another chairman by then who wouldn't dream of offering refunds out Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There always is First thing a new chairman would do is get stripes back on the new shirts (I expect this to be announced tomorrow at the fans meeting btw), scrap the refund thing entirely, and get all the fans on side again Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
