(not asking you to name names). Or if there was any truth in the story? I have read one or two of your articles online and very interesting they are but unfortunately I would never pay for any content on the internet. But thats just me a tight wad. Loads of easy accessible information out there. No reason even to buy the paper either. Which I used to deliver as a kid ninety pence a week! Would you consider opening a moderated chatroom after each game? Get instant feed back from the fans. The chat room idea could be an interesting one, I'll certainly bring it up. As for the wage thing, there's definitely something in it because it's been acknowledged by Monk. Doesn't seem to be an issue though, could just be an admin mistake even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a morning Star years back and an evening Star, the evening paper always had what was happening at Hillsborough, all we get now is the same sports stories rewritten over 4 or 5 days with a line or two changed telling you the same thing. In an age of social media most of the articles online are a few days out of date. On your website the last match report (see link below) you have is Notts Forest we have played two games since then, presumably someone forgot to put them online? https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/match-reports If you want to improve The Star then have an Online Green un with the same information you used to get in the Paper. You would get the older fans on side and also attract a whole host of new fans Thanks for this feedback, mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't expand on the actual issue, but played it down massively and said everyone's alright with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just clarify this one as I seem to have confused matters During pre/post press conferences everyone tweets updates: The Star Joe Crann Dom Howson Sheffield Wednesday Official etc Everyone.

Due to its prejudice against Wednesday like many I have basically ignored it beyond the negative slant headlines you get.

I really like The Athletic's coverage but obviously it's a paid service and they can pretty much write what they want about the club. Joe - like your fresh ideas and constant engagement with the fans, love to see new types of content on social media so keep it up. A few suggestions on possible articles and content (might have already been covered): Chansiri - always wanted to find out a bit more about the chairman's background and how he ended up at SWFC. Possible off-season (sorry Ian) article that could involve the man himself? Pig insult - so many reasons on why we and them refer to each other as pigs, how about both sets of writers at The Star pen their thoughts? Twitter threads - Doncaster Council are good at these and SWFC did have a go at them not so long ago, but I do enjoy reading them. Get them to read United's programme notes from this match...explains it all Sat 4 Feb 1967 Sheffield United v Wednesday ........ 0-1 15 43,490 Edited July 3, 2020 by daveyboy66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
