@owlstalk Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Sheffield Wednesday Steering Committee Friday 24th August 2018 / 6pm at Hillsborough Owlstalkers attending: @OWLERTON GHOST / @toppOwl / @bladeshater / @coe_22 This is a Steering Committee meeting and NOT a Fans Forum, meaning that it's not a whinge about ticket prices, tactics, team selection etc Instead it's designed to be a bit of a suggestion pot where fans to go the club with a load of suggestions to improve life as a Sheffield Wednesday fan. For this meeting it would be great if we could collect some bullet points (which I will collate from the replies to this post) with some fresh new ideas, constructive suggestions and positive ideas that the club can take away and hopefully work on. Over the last few weeks we've seen many new things introduced on the back of fan suggestions/requests and right now the club are most definitely listening so let's see what we can come up with. For example in the Megastore recently we have started stocking items from Goo Design, and S6 Clothing, with more to come, so already the Megastore is improving. Ideas like that are most definitely worth putting forward. We've asked for reduced membership prices - got that Asked for ticket bundles - got that Sheffield Music at matches - got that in bucketloads (thank you again SWFC) Asked for better stuff in the Megstore - started to get that Post your ideas below Fresh, exciting new ideas to improve things whether that be commercial, non-matchday stuff, events, customer service etc etc - lets see what we can come up with.

coe_22 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Is it possible for the club to collaborate with well known brands more? Like they did with monopoly but with clothing, footwear, baseball caps etc. I realise that they have to make sure not to tread on the elev8 brands toes.

Kopparberg Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Beach towels (most importantly) AND Players going to houses of fans on the database and giving out a free shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebowl Yell Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 7 minutes ago, Not Jon Newsome said: Can someone please ask why in the 21st century we are yet to form a Sheffield Wednesday ladies team, this is by far the most pressing concern we must address. People may even start looking at us as a sexist football club, signing players and embargos are not an issue when the morals of life come into play. I'm a firm belieber a successful ladies team would draw larger crowds than the men's team if they price it correctly. Wouldn’t even get 2,000 a gate nevermind larger crowds so you’ll just have to remain a ‘belieber’. What about a fanzone in Hillsbro Park Before every game where fans can get together and do some activities? Lincoln have a family zone and it’s really good.

Guest Grez Bez Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Great thread; I've posted all of these before but thought I'd give it another go. Kop facilities Below is a cheap and quick way to improve facilities on the kop. You simply build "decking" onto the banks with bars on. They can be easily added to the current stairs. The middle "bar" could link the left and right staircases at the back of the kop. Space behind North: There is an area behind the megastore and North stand that is used to house old rubbish. If you walk up the ramp from the away end and look left, it is there (on phone so can't find it on a map) It's a large area and would be ideal to house some new bars. I'd also like to see us close the megastore during games and use the car park as extra space (like we do pre-gane). I presume sales in the shop are next to zero during a game; maybe we should make a few sakes at HT. Food Trucks During a game (and before) we should house food trucks in the Megastore carpark, North stand (at the area above) behind the West and under the South. These can be good or booze and the club should charge a flat fee per game. The club earn money, the food trucks (which are huge at the moment) earn money and the supporters get a better experience Edited August 23, 2018 by Grez Bez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coe_22 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Apart from the Home & Away shirts there isn’t much aimed at the teenager age bracket (both male & female) could this be improved on? Even if the club produces copies of well known branded goods. Like Aldi does with food but do it with the clothing range. A goggled hooded jacket or a Parker with a Wednesday patch buttoned onto the arm? Edited August 23, 2018 by coe_22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 What about a tattoo artist in the megastore pre match (just as a one off). People can go and watch someone (an already booked in client) getting their cool Wednesday related ‘ink’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
