Have they given up on the POTG fan altogether? So people need a social media barrage before they go to support the club?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont need social media barrage as such, but it can’t hurt to get the fans fired up & wanting to turn up to see Blackburn get stuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One home game in the best part of a month against winnable opposition, surely if you’re a fan of the club you’d make the effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you take em to Alton Towers instead then? Sod that - Alton Towers is even more expensive than watching Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs have a way of reaching out to thousands of supporters with a simple tweet. No harm bigging up the importance of the game and highlighting the reduced members prices, no?

I don't blame anyone for not going on Saturday at £30+ a ticket. Yes I know its a big game to people on Owlstalk who supporting Wednesday is a big thing in thing but to casual fan its a lot of money to watch a bread and butter fixture on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Westfield Owl Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 £33 to sit on the kop is enough to dissuade any non-regular supporter from attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im not knocking the club, I was agreeing that the club using social media to reach out to extra ‘casual’ fans can’t be a bad thing. Get everyone fired up. If the crowd starts off hot, the players get the buzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a bit of both.

Birley Owl 1867 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It's definitely not too late this year. There's plenty of home matches left. That line just smacks of I can't be arsed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
