Doe he not think a blend of the 2 can achieve success ? I'm not knocking Chansiri but I'm sorry I whole heartedly believe even with the best intentions he's too clueless to execute them . I wonder what the academy staff and players thought of that statement? Its not exactly a resounding endorsement of the work and effort they are putting in. But like you i want to see players from the academy come in and do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to this coming in house, the majority of fans complained about the standard of food, the standard of staff serving the food, the pricing, the queues etc. Not saying it's particularly any better, but I don't think going back to this would be an improvement. Don't go back to what didn't work but would fans complain if there was a Biers stand at Hillsborough, would a Costa coffee operate better than the current fast food stand, if a Westerspoon's was in the main stand would the service be quicker than it currently is. You go to the Dog track at Owlerton over the summer and they have a device that services 6 pints at the same time. If you use other peoples expertise but take a cut of the profits the club save on labour costs, buying and managing costs such as stock and let others do the work taking a cut. I would be interest to see what the likes of the premiership teams do, whether they have these things in house or outsourced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC can not expect the fans to pay for his bad investments and the horrendous way in which money has been squandered over the last couple of years. but a lot championed it, and didn't slate it when it happened.

But I do believe that a meaningful reduction in standard ticket prices for normal league games would result in more tickets sold whether that would reduce or increase total matchday revenue is another matter. I do know that despite being comfortably well off the prices at Hillsborough mean that I no longer visit Hillsborough as I used to do. I just don't think standard league games are value for money. If the prices were meaningfully reduced (say 25%) you can be assured my own demand for matchday tickets would increase and I suspect I would not be alone.

Nobody will be able to prove them wrong. Sounds a bit like any Sheffield City Council consultation process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fiver uplift over ST prices per game would he acceptable imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is it time for things like the Foundation, Membership, 50/50 draws etc to all be looked at, revised and modernised and even merged? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 7 hours ago, Mr Meadows said: this... 'ongoing strategy geared towards promotion to the premier league'.. i'd like the club to expand on this before completing, as that means nothing This is the bit that got me... Do they mean they planned this clusterfuq or keep paying the highest prices whilst we recover and fuq it up again in 3 years time once players contracts have expired?

I guess he is new to all this and, hopefully, he will get it right in the end. Seems an honest open guy who wants the best for the club. New? It’s nearly 3 years now. How many more wee wee tail ups? It simply isn’t getting any better. There doesn’t seem any painless way out of this and all the evidence is that it’s going to get worse before inevitably, and eventually, it will get better. Hope I am still alive to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 This survey is..in effect..laying mines before a battle. I think the club know/expect things are going to get ugly with the fanbase... It's pathetic and divisive. FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 How is playing teams like Bournemouth, West Brom, Brighton, Burnley or Watford any better or worst than playing Norwich, Brentford, Cardiff etc? For me, the main driving factor in wanting us to get to the Premier League is that potentially if finances are managed right, the cash injection into the club’s infrastructure could secure its future for many year to come. Without the financial element, I’m honestly not fussed weather we play in the Championship or Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It is absolutely embarrassing this. I assume it is the work of the highly esteemed Meire, with DC adding in his usual nonsense. Some of the questions are baffling. As if more than one thing can't exist together and there is an easy answer to all of our problems. I don't know what planet people are living on behind the scenes at SWFC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
