If they were listening and learning ticket and shop prices would have been slashed !

 

Ask Tesco Asda etc to drop their prices too and stop charging the same for fewer goods.

The issue is that United will also have a stand and will probably be selling the same product but cheaper. 

 

cheaper than free tickets?

My only gripe with this is that there is no mention of getting students to the club watching and supporting.. more about probably getting cheap labour through stewarding and in the club shop?

 

...Students reading maths only need apply.

Yes but majority of people from outside area know that we are bigger and better.

I suppose its a start.

 

Back in the 90's they offered a seat, and a tram ticket to get to the game for about £20 and we used to get a few thousand extra at games, I know a few that are now Owls because of this. This whole thing though will live and die on the cost of the tickets if DC uses his usual policies it won't even get off the ground.

Between 2000 to 2004 I had a free student membership that got me into games on the North for £12. Even with the price hikes, it seems to me they can match that £20 in 2018.

So there are at least 2 uses for lentils then?

Curious to know how many students that are football fans would come to matches.

 

If they are football fans they probably have their own clubs they follow so why would they come to us? If we are in the premiership then they may come as a neutral to watch the bigger clubs but Owls v Baggies cant be that big a draw to a neutral.

Wednesday average 23 university student fans per match.

Both Sheffield clubs used to give preference to those of the opposite flavour, on the basis that they were more likely to watch the supporters than the game, I know this to be correct as my son was interviewed at bluntsville and was set on after confirming that he was an Owl.

Why would it only last three months? 

 

It's perfectly conceivable that some students will start supporting Wednesday or perhaps take an interest on a casual basis. 

 

Talk about moaning for the sake of moaning.

Not entirely. 

 

Foreign students for example. Dare I say some might take an interest in Wednesday as their 2nd team. 

 

Better to try than to not bother as you advocate.

I see they’re still making their way through that cake ball.
