asteener1867 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The point is... If ANYONE came up to you and asked for 5 grand...You would ask what they wanted it for, what you were getting for it, and what the plan was. They would give you the reasoning behind it, and what benefits you would get from it. You would then ask them "what their track record was " I would love to know the f.ookin' answer to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If you're the kind of supporter who's owned a season ticket for the last 10-20 years running with no expectation of that changing any time soon, this is clearly a fantastic offer if you have the money available. I get the concern regarding the signals this gives off as a poo-or-bust type gamble though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdiwonderland Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think we are looking at 10k empty seats for at least the next 10 years. It is 50m in to the coffers though. Genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be thousands who have the same worries as I do, and you wonder why the atmosphere is sagging. I bought me season ticket today, cos I always do, but it felt more like an obligation than it has done before, because of all the tat surrounding the club..It shouldn't be like that. Ive never been one for this true supporter nonsense...I go cos I want to...When it comes to the point I don't want to...I f.ookin' won't...but I don't like the way the club is heading...I don't like the fact there are Wednesday fans who can't afford to to tip up on the day I don't like the seemingly shady, barely legal grounding we have at the minute..it simply smacks of insecurity...and I don't like that. You can call me a bedwetter...but don't do it on here...show yer credentials and tell me at a game you tip up to...and I'll happily give you an argument. When you go in a sweet shop you have the choice of lots of different sweets to buy, cheap ones , expensives ones , you can even go back out of the shop without buying anything.

poite Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 3 hours ago, Binky Griptite said: Some of the people on here... The club are offering a range of season ticket deals for a range of budgets... You don't go on a estate agent website and criticise them for having million pound houses listed. If you can't afford the million pound house don't look at it, it's not for you. There's a one year deal, the same as previous years. "But the early bird deadline is two months earlier..." True, so instead of 12 months to save £455 you've had ten months, so at £37.92 per month (regular saving amount to pay for your season ticket) you might be £76 short... Or alternatively you've been blindsided by the fact that you need to pay for a new season ticket (breaking news: you'll have to pay for your new season ticket). If you've saved up monthly you could probably find £76, if you've not you're criticising the club for your inability to forward plan. I think the ten year plan is a good idea, not many will take it up in which case the liability on the club to finance it moving forward won't be too onerous. If it proves more successful than expected then the club have the get out of jail free card of it being a limited offer ("Sorry, you missed out"). It's like anything - risk and reward. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose... Same principal that should apply to every purchase you ever make, be it buying a banana or a million pound house. I know it's not the point youre making but when you buy a million pound house you can pretty much guarantee it will be worth more than that in 10 years time allowing you to make a profit on your investment. Buy a 10 year season ticket for Sheffield Wednesday and all you have in 10 years is the option to buy another to watch another 10 years of championship football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
