BBC Radio Sheffield's revenge? Get over yourself. It was leaked last night anyway so it's in the public domain. No point suppressing it. Revenge? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So it’s now August. We’ve been on an embargo at least four months and still no communication from the club unless you were there last night. Starting to get really pissed off with the lack of clarity from the club. I’ve wasted most of my summer waiting for news that was never going to come. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve wasted most of my summer waiting for news that was never going to come. From reports it sounds like it was kept quiet at the request of EFL while negotiations were/are ongoing. Not sure if that is wholly the case but that's how it seems to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rebowl Yell Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Well done to the season ticket holders who insist on getting access to Hillsborough for as little as possible, you caused this. Also congratulations to the people who did not attend and instead listened on local radio stations, at least you’ve been dealt with this season and now you’ll have to pay. But for the season ticket holders that all of a sudden develop a conscience, it’s probably best if you cut it up and go POTG for every game this season at adult rates. Other people that deserve the blame, 10 bob millionaires that got prissy about the value of the boxes. Shame on you. The people who balked at the £90 memberships. Shame on you. Those who insist on buying the cheap replica shirts and not the superior pro fit design, you’re a disgrace. Kids who pay kids prices instead of full adult rates, you little scamps I hope you find out you’re adopted. All in all there’s a lot of blame that needs to be apportioned across the fanbase for this financial crisis we’ve found ourselves in.

The survey didn't mention bringing more top players in; it mentioned continued investment at a similar level. Given that we were already straining at the limits of what's allowed under P&S, keeping the vast majority of our best players whilst trying to get ourselves out of the embargo would seem to constitute continued investment at a similar level, to be fair. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The survey was at the beginning of February. The embargo was in effect from April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
