This should really be a great opportunity for some of the young uns seeing Wednesday against world class opposition in a noisy colourful stadium, but recent performances are killing peoples excitement. We take 3 lads with us, all season ticket holders aged 8 to 16. You can see their enthusuasm being drained out of them. Going to Hillsborough isnt fun any more and you can see it in their faces that the abject performances are ruining ot for a whole generation of future owls. I remember past games where we had gotten beat, yet the fans still made some noise. There was often a loud rallying cry from the fans if we fell behind. But lately supporters are reflecting the players with their "CBA" attitude. When it starts to feel like a chore to the kids... thats when we have a real problem Absolutely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They trade off this misplaced loyalty of fans, that you can constantly charge top dollar for a poor product and experience, like many that aspect you mention of being there just in case has probably driven a lot of people. Unfortunately I just think that is becoming weakened. That trade off of one good game / performance for the 10 mundane or rubbish ones is just too great I spent 5 hours on Saturday travelling, I wrestled the car back through Jorge. For a game that was over in 30 minutes We are , especially like you who has to travel so far and spend so long ,starting to question is it worth it . I doubt I could ever stop going altogether but I now pick and choose games , will be there tonight all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons Cross Owl Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Parsons Cross Owl said: Wed supporters are the most loyal there is, sell out every game, 25,000+ at Hillsborough despite a poor season every home game. It`s just disappointing we can`t sell this game out, especially with it being on the Tv. When we are back in the Prem, and every game is a sell out, you moaners remember games like this when you couldn`t be bothered to go. Sorry that should be sell out every AWAY game, and which two Wed fans gave this a negative mark? are you saying Wed fans aren`t loyal? , or are you the usual armchair `fans` Edited March 4, 2020 by Parsons Cross Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were playing good football, scoring goals, near the top of the league and we had a manager that actually inspired you, then I think we would have sold out tonight.

Guest 1banana2banana Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 How many we sold then? Went off track slightly this with the usual ‘if you don’t go tonight then you should be banned from seeing us when we are successful again’ lot imagine if it was a sell out tonight chansiri would think all is well with the players, prices and squad no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickswfc Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It's a weird one this. If league attendances were at at a low, but then we'd sold out tonight against the champions, we would be slated. Instead league attendances are steady and we've sold very little in a big glamour tie. So fans not going can hardly be criticised. As others have said the Arsenal game was a lesser game but sold out. Absolutely no question to me that this is a statement against Chansiri and his running of the club. Even if tickets were cheaper I don't think it would make a significant difference.

Dunkstar Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Whatever the reasons it's a sad state of affairs when we can't drum up much interest for a 5th round cup tie against the champions and one of the best teams in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League attendances are being propped up by season ticket holders and away fans. It remains to be seen how they hold up next season. There’s not been more than a couple of thousand Wednesday fans that have paid on the door for any league game this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
