Our Season Tickets were just about the priciest in the division - that's something I looked at. As for Matchday - you are pulling myleg. We were expensive and even refused reciprocal pricing to bring the price down for our own travelling supporters. very true. it goes back a while, I remember going to see Liverpool v Monaco in 2005 Champs League (the Gerrard team that won it). I paid £22 the weekend after I went to see the Owls v Stockport in league one. Kuqi played for Stockport - utter drivel. £24 couldn’t work our what was going on there.

theowlsman Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday Championship Champions 2020-2021. I’m with The Gaffer. Positivity only unless it becomes clear next season that all is not going well. Monk has a chance to prove himself. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 6 years Red is no parachute Green with parachute payments 3 teams done it clean in 6 years. Well, that really nails it. If you don't have parachute money you basically need to be lucky and/or break the rules. We broke the rules but our luck deserted us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling a dice isnt the answer Well clearly as Wolves, Brighton Bournemouth and Villa rolled the dice and were promoted it can be the answer. It can also be the wrong answer as us, Derby, BCFC have found out. The problem is clearly that parachute payments and the P&S handcuffs are incompatible.

Harrysgame Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 25 minutes ago, GlossyOwl said: Things to take away from all this: 1. We need someone to actually help the chairman. Good bloke, but needs guidance to not mess the club up. He’s sailed close to the wind there and needs support. 2. Charlton can pipe down now. This point deduction should have been applied in the 18/19 season and that’s that. It’s embarrassing that the EFL tried to wait to apply a deduction until we were in a place where they could potentially relegate us. That’s like waiting until someone murders 4 people instead of 1, so you can apply the death penalty rather than just a prison sentence! 3. Is Sep Blatter a non exec Director at the EFL or something?? The EFL are making FIFA look competent....ish. Point 2 if it is could to be factual, could be called scandalous, not sure how this could be defended. Could the EFL carry on representing the clubs it says it supports? Maybe our lawyers will get busy on this one, it's as if their is a potential agenda against our club. PL2 please, time to look after ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i wont deny it doesnt make it harder, it will do. But it can be done. We can moan about it but its not going to change, its outside the clubs control, what the club can control is our own planning, our own finances, our own board etc.... After that its down to luck to some degree like any other sport. I dont believe internally we have given ourselves the best chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club like Sheffield Wednesday should always be aiming for the Premier League but shouldn't be as much as an obsession as it is. Yes I given the choice I would say yes to Sheffield Wednesday being in the Premier League but if the cost is charging mainly working class people highest ticket prices in the league, asking them to raid their life savings for bizarre membership schemes, risking short term future of the club then I would say no thanks.

As for matchday pricing, look at each individual clubs pricing for 2019/20 season, yes it’s expensive but we’re not alone, not by any stretch. I looked at it a year ago - apologies if my memory doesn't run to the fact that we were the most expensive in most categories or a close second.

Guest Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 10 hours ago, rickygoo said: I forgot I'd unblocked you. I don't have to do anything. People have been telling us for years how great he is and how wonderful it was that he "had a go" and they've even excused the recent points deduction, the state of the squad and the fact we had to sell our own ground and laid the blame on the big bad EFL. Someone described him as the best chairman we've ever had. To me the overspending, the players we have, the ground sale, the points deduction don't result in a "polar view". They result in a realistic view on the state the club is in. Sorry, you must be an incredibly sensitive soul if you have blocked me! I don't think there are that many that view him as the greatest and do not recognise that he has made mistakes, it is a polar view to blame him for everything regardless. Glad to read the statement he has put forward and that we will be raising an appeal. That doesn't mean to say that I don't accept that the club has made big mistakes along the way.

Think with the news of the EFL appeal it could hasten things along. They broke their own rules to try to cause maximum harm to one of their members why would you want to be part of that club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
