Football is dire , chairman is a total car Crash and the prices are a joke . whenever folk can have a life again, what would they rather ? Paying Through the nose to watch us get relegated Or have long overdue catch ups in the pub / golf course, family days out or whatever it is you enjoy doing ? it’s not really about protesting, it’s about not wasting your Saturday being bored And miserable . Left about mins into the Blackburn game in February 5/0 down , and won’t be back until chansiri has gone . My reason to go would be to catch up with all my football mates in the pub before the games But that's been my reason for going for most of the last 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymae's Dad Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 really really appreciate your frustrations We actually do need to fill The Old Lady (not r lass) on the return of fans, spend as much in the shop as possible, eat as many pies as possible and buy a dozen programmes each We're going in the wrong direction!

Arthur Bach Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Anybody who thinks 2 or 3 players is going to fix our issues, clearly has issues of their own. 5 years minimum to come back from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I reflect on my recent attendances I struggle to identify when I last looked forward to the actual game. The football is almost secondary to catching up with family and friends and of course a Beres pork sandwich. In a post covid world, I wonder if the novelty of going to the pub and watching score updates on TV will be preferable to paying £39 to sit in the cold watching us hoof it about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my biggest worry for the future of the club A year without football, means I have an extra £2k in my back pocket (I go to lots of away games too). I don't enjoy watching us on TV but then I haven't really enjoyed watching us in person for a good while either (apart from very brief spells). I've got out of the habit, and if that can happen to me then I'm sure I will be one of many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akbuk Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 In the present economic climate any other businesses would have folded we are alive because Chansiri puts his hand in his pocket and keeps the club alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got out of the habit, and if that can happen to me then I'm sure I will be one of many Agree, it's an unknown for the whole of football I suppose. It's a 6 hour round trip for me, so not an easy or cheap undertaking to attend a game. Admittedly I threw my toys out of the pram when Pulis was appointed, but haven't even been bothered to pay £10 to watch on ifollow since, never mind the ticket and travel costs of attending in person. It's quite surprising how quickly I got used to not watching games. I suppose the apathy and lack of excitement over the last few years has helped. I won't be paying a penny to watch a Pulis team, but wondering how motivated I'll be to make the regular trips with the expense incurred when he goes. As you say, once you get out of the habit, there has to be something to draw you back. The enforced absence due to covid watching on TV forces focus firmly on the football, without the social elements, as you said. In those terms it exposes just how poor the product on the pitch actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 We’ve kept our side of the bargain, I’m not sure Dejphon has kept his... It was clear that the questions relative directly to the football were the most pertinent in terms of general interest amongst our supporters, so in the interests of transparency, the answers are published below: A) Would you prefer the prices at Sheffield Wednesday across the board, for example Season Tickets, matchday tickets, official merchandise, corporate hospitality, were reduced to previous eras? The consequence of this would be the sale of key senior players, regular promotion to the first team of academy youngsters and a reduced level of investment. Answer: Yes 29.94% No 70.06% B) Alternatively, would you prefer the club to build on the current level of investment, maintain the pricing structure, and extend our ongoing strategy geared towards promotion to the Premier League. Answer: Yes: 70.14% No: 29.86% 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I think the defunding of Chansiri will happen naturally if we are relegated. He is daft enough to think that he will be able to get away with top dollar ticket prices in L1 and that will see gates in the region of 10-12K whenever crowds are allowed back. Whatever happens we are locked in a loveless embrace with this bloke because nobody is going to buy us for the amount of money he will want. Chansiri has now got himself the choice of pouring more cash into the money pit to achieve his dream of the the prem or if the tap is turned off then he is going to see his 350 million go down the swanny. He desperately needs to employ a good CEO to run the club on a day to day basis then step back. Given the last five years of narcissism, control freakery, batshizz crazy decision making I cant see this happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Chansiri has been fairly defunded by football already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
