There will always be 195 days of school per year, with 5 being allocated for training and development. Teacher alert :) Fair enough, just seems odd to have two weeks off then go back for a few days and have another couple off. I'm all for different hols to rest of country, might make holidays slightly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps things nice and cheap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Cornwall, Scotland, Norfolk etc. Rotherham, Chesterfield and Barnsley? Yes, absolutely. And if they can’t accomodate it on a weekend or the week before then of course the correct decision is to do it when Sheffield schools are on holiday. We are Sheffield Wednesday after all and no matter when they did it the vast majority of those in attendance will be from within a 3-5 mile radius. Where is it you live again and how many kids were you intending to take had this a fell at a convenient turn me for you?

Mr Meadows Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 its a half term event, so guess what?.. its held in half term!.. what is so hard to grasp about that? should parks, musuems etc not hold events in school holidays either in case there are people who cant make it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends If I ran a museum that catered for people from Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Chesterfield and beyond I'd try and fit it into the one that would see the most people come to it within the school holidays to maximise the success of that event.

Guest Manwithastick Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 less than 2 miles. So you're alright jack and balls to those who live in Sheffield (my address says so) but whose schools fall under Rotherham (or Barnsley or Chesterfield etc.)? Selfish two hat.

If you can’t see that then either you’re not as bright as I thought or, more likely enjoy it when they do. The event still appeals to the masses, unfortunately as with most things it can’t suit everyone. A shame but that’s life and no amount of bitching changes it, no matter how many attacks they make on the club won’t change it. I suggest they find something else to do the week before, it’s not difficult ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for different hols to rest of country, might make holidays slightly cheaper. Think it is to counter the fact that the timing of Easter is so variable, which then leads to some very imbalanced terms as regard to their length. Pinning it to the first two weeks in April allows greater equity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Will the event be a success? almost certainly. will everyone be able to attend who wants to attend? almost certainly not ! Is this any fault of the clubs ? absolutely not at all ! If this is logistically the only date available , should the club pull it as they can’t please all of the people all of the time ? It’s a “kids fun day” in the kids school holidays for the majority of Sheffield schools. As Ash quite rightly says , it’s the same people, time & time again having a pop at the club for absolutely anything ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Or hold it at a week end and everyone can go. Or here's an idea what if we had a week end that no first team games were happening and a club would have been notified of this week end happening at least at the start of this season - would this not be a better weekend to do an event so everyone could attend no matter where you live or go to school. Then if you have more people you as a club can sell more merchandise and as many even make more money for the club. But when do these mythical weekend exists ...................

It's the same people every time having a pop at fans for having a legitimate concern. Or perhaps only those that live within a certain radius are TrueFans? You, Ash, Bigthinrob and a few others seem to live to shout down anyone who dares to question anything the club does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
