room0035 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If we are all outraged can we as Owlstalker not start a funding page to pay the difference so the football commentary can return. If the club can kindly let us know the shortfall from last season to the new deal we can start a fund to give the club the difference. So the older fans are not completely cut off from the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkleyblue Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I would imagine that it's down to principle rather than the shortfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morley Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I don't understand what is going on here. Apparently we're the only one of the 72 EFL clubs to turn the deal down and in our financial position surely some income is better than none?

Hougoumont Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not outraged...no more "Let's just pop over to Oakwell"...."There's news of a goal at the Keep Moat" and "Let's hear Keith Edwards take on that incident" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSheridan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Why should fans have to pay any more? Its an absolute disgrace that we're getting priced out of everything already! Disgusting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doing this will force the club to admit to the fans how much it is worth to alienate even more of the older fanbase that follow us on the radio.

Flat Owl Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We've got Wilder spouting his club is for the people and we have some Thai fishcake taking it away. What an embarrassment for Sheffield - the City of sport. Wednesday - playing into the hands of the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about writing to radio Sheffield demanding that they pay what they were previously happy to pay? Or have a moan on football heaven? Or start a petition demanding the same. Its not as though Wednesday are refusing point blank to have games broadcast, it's just that a price can't be agreed. So you can try to get a resolution by complaining to either party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really followed all this but as far as I can see, an organisation making millions (bbc) has asked 92 clubs that make a loss to take an income cut? Why we’re only club to say buggger off is bit of a shock but can’t see why we getting brunt of criticism. In a world of evolving entertainment needs, I’m surprised radio and bbc isn’t doing all it can to secure audiences. No doubt in a few years time radio commentary be obsolete and apps, social platforms, streaming services be widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 62 that we’re, 61 accepted the 10 percent reduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way the club has been burning money, being close to FFP rules, ticket, shirts, membership and corporate prices, why do you think that? The only conclusion I can come up with, given the evidence, is it's another DC 'money making' scam, he's using the price hike as an excuse so we all have to pay for his shortcomings.
