ALL the clubs in this area has put a toe in the rarified air of success and thought "Bugger that". IF we, as a club, want to do so, then we have to go about it in a Yorkshire way. Be prudent with the spending, looking if it is Value for money, weather that be Players or Foundations of the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 100% totally agree with that mate The massive spaffing of cash has just left us in a right pickle You're bang on. We should be all Yorkshire and develop and spot upcoming hungry players and grow sensibly Fans voted for continued massive spending and high ticket prices in the recent vote though apparently so it might just be us two that agrees on this point Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Not sure you CAN compete without spending in this day & age. One or two manage it, but cannot sustain it. To be genuinely competitive you need quality and quality costs. We spent a bit, no more than maybe the average top 6, top 8 spenders & way less than some. Derby & Forest were the same, didn't achieve what they wanted after spending big but lived to fight another day. It took Brighton a few bob and multiple attempts before they got to the promised land. I still don't think the actual reality of our situation merits all this hand wringing to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people saying we'd be mad to but I'll go anyway so I'd rather pay less than more. Quite like my seats as well so don't want to lose them. Do think season ticket sales will take a real hit though this year. And the thought of paying those prices to watch league 1 football ... Don't know, does it matter? You either go or you don't. It seems to me you are trying to influence their decision for whatever reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long term deals are marketed on the premise prices would go up, if we went up. Miles off, and the odds are stacked heavily in my favour to use money as I see fit, rather than pay upfront for a 2nd class product with a diminishing chance of actual survival. We are further away than when DC walked through the door. Everyone to their own but after 30 off consecutive seasons of a season ticket, the financial commonsense argument is kicking in. I feel exactly the same mate . Im also on a three year ST . Im leaning towards just letting it run out then lookinmg at it again at end of next season.

matthefish2002 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Got a year left of 3 year deal. Decided to not extend this year but will probably renew when it expires. Dipped into savings to get 3 year one and cant justify doing it again with way SWFC are going when current one not even run out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Me and mi boy. First one for the lad. It seams decent value when you start taking an under 11. Works out about 24 quid a match for the pair of us. I'm not a fan of our ticketing policy but this is decent value imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancowl08 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I’m a 3 year season ticket holder....got 1 year left. Can’t see why I wouldn’t renew.....I’m a Wednesday fan, always will be regardless of how we are playing and what division! Fortunately im lucky enough to be able to afford the 5 year ticket......I’m still mulling it over though! 2,3 or 5 years are the options for me! So tempted by 5 years.....

I kind of agree, but the point about being further away than when DC took over - surely that’s purely down to our horrendous injury situation - if we had the majority of our players fit, no way would be where we are now.

stoff Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I renewed mine on the Kop. 34th consecutive season ticket. As long as I can afford it and still get up the steps to my seat I can’t imagine I’ll ever stop going. FFS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlOnWheels Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Good, bad or indifferent I'll be renewing. I just can't imagine not having one. May as well do it now while it's a bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
