Rodger Wylde II Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Loving this thread!!! I really hate people who say, 'I told you so', but on this occasion nothing will give me more pleasure than to say, 'I TOLD YOU SO!' Best chairman we've ever had. Best football in twenty years. If you want quality football you've got to pay for it. If you can't afford it, don't go. Attending football isn't a right. He's putting his money into the club so you've got to play your part. He's one of us. Most open chairman we've ever had. Yada yada yada fuckinyada. Well, I hope you're enjoying your chairman, the football and the prices. Last home game I went to was March 2016. Gave the remainder of my season ticket away to a potger and the Play Off Final ticket to a non season ticket holder. Let me know when he's gone.

Lichfield alien Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 We are bang next to one of the main roads in Sheffield..a massive banner on the fence outside the ticket office sayiing 'tickets this saturday just £20' would catch the eye of thousands of people..it's simple stuff but they never do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the tragedy of the situation and it plays into a chairman's hands, if maybe they want to prove, that lowering ticket prices wouldn't improve support/attendance. Which will be the outcome of this as Chansiri likely doesn't know how bad the access/comms is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I see it Ticket pricing is for steak, a nice sauce, some lovely roast veg When the meal is a chip butty and you offer it for half the price of a steak don't expect to automatically expect a queue round the block Even worse if yourr restaurant doesn't' bother advertising it because they're of the opinion that they're above all that and all they have to do it open the restaurant doors for people to come What's even worse though is those people who have steak every night mocking the non steak eaters for not wanting to rock up for a chip butty when it's offered up.

S36 OWL Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think he is going to be in trouble regards ST renewals for next season. He has already lost the POTD walk up due to the disgusting ticket prices ,and i think he is going to lose a few thousand ST holders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club is terribly run at the moment. I don't think the Chairman is competent as a businessman if I'm totally honest - I've not seen any evidence of his success other than working for his daddy in the family business(es). This combined with his complete lack of football knowledge means that we're a disaster both on and off the pitch. Sorry if that's brutal and I have no doubt Chansiri is a decent human being but, well sadly, that just isn't good enough on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more frustrating is that it's the fans steering group meeting on Friday and when ideas like this can be suggested and taken there I for one just can't personally sit in that meeting If anyone who we can trust to professionally and calmly put across questions and ideas and feedback to us wants to go then let me know Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I couldn't represent us during such a meeting; I'm not sure many fans could. I'd love to work for Wednesday though with regard to improving their business as a whole - reviewing how they operate and what business improvements could be made would be something I'd relish doing!

In all honesty I've found that in all walks of life if you're a massive fan of something never ever do anything other than just turn up to the match/gig/event and leave it at that Anything else can only destroy your love for it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 'podcast' you posted in a thread, follow up to a previous one about FFP, with those three chaps was excellent and really alluded to this.
