As for next season, if we can’t attend a number of games I’d accept a discount off my ticket the following year. Remainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm used to paying my season ticket money year after year and seeing Wednesday let me down, that is the risk you take when you buy one. But if we are not able to attend games we have prepayed for, then we are entitled to our money back. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be put down as an act of god, say? Think he will look to do some sort of deal not charged so much for the next season ticket you get, something along those lines.

Would be a public relations disaster we could do without if the club didn't offer refunds on the 5 remaining games by claiming it's all to do with the terms & conditions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because ticket money is revenue which helps with P&S Him putting his own money in which goes against P&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I've mentioned this before but Chansiri is a decent bloke and I couldn't for one second imagine him not doing the right thing for the fans. Refunds will be obligatory and will definitely be offered. Other ideas might be offered too, I hope they are, and I hope they're exciting and innovative But I think the Chairman will look after the fans regardless. I don't think people should worry or get angry about this before knowing what's offered 2 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a weeks wages for the players Should our fans, many of whom are suffering severe financial hardship in this pandemic, many of whom who will lose their jobs as the economic realities are played out when the return to work happens, forego a refund for 5 games they will never see?? Or, should the club look to an underperforming, bloated, overpaid playing squad for that money? Or, to a Chairman who has fleeced our loyal fans for 5 years on the promise of building a squad for the Premier League - when we are worse off now than when Mandaric sold to him? I think its pretty poor form for any fan to point to another fan and suggest they should be leaving their money in the club. I liked and trophy thinged this ^^^^^. 100 % agree with every word you have said, people are struggling big time, and will do for years, me included - asking for/accepting a refund is not an act of betrayal, I have given everything I could over the years for this club, it has cost me jobs, promotions, relationships - I even got married there, I have had a Season Ticket for the last 40 years (since the age of 4) - I don't owe the club anything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the club can use that one, don't think he gets involved with us to often. Lost count of the times i asked him to get the ref to blow his whistle! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take those people seriously when they say such ridiculous things. Sometimes some of our fans look upon it as a competition to see who the biggest fan is by giving the most money to Sheffield Wednesday, a club ran by a billionaire, playing millionaires money to play football for us, whilst their millionaire agents take their cut too. It's not a competition. Not taking a refund isn't some noble gesture that it might have been when our club was going under back in the day or in the 70's when we had to start the SAVE OUR OWLS campaign. Not taking a refund these days is just giving a couple of hundred quid to a billionaire to give to millionaires. It's not noble. it doesn't make you a better fan. It's just daft. 13 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 One thing thats been very clear from Day 1 of Mr Chansiris arrival is that he has a deep seated desire to be popular Things havent gone his way in recent years and I'm sure that will be really hurting him. Hes faced criticism from a growing section of our support and that will be hurting him too I can't see anything other than a really generous package being offered to our supporters as a demnstration of his genuine goodwill to our supporter base. I'd imagine putting this together is why there has been a delay in announcing measures. rest assured - our Chairman will look after our fans on this.

Nah mate. The only option for me (already got next years season ticjet) if we can't attend next season, is a refund for the matches we cannot see. Certainly wouldn't accept a discount towards the following season; might not be around by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
