York_Owl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Blaming the fans again. We are one of the most loyal fan bases in the country. There are not many clubs in the country that would get the attendances that we have been getting over the last 20 years given the way the club was being run and some of the appalling teams on show. But we still turn out in our numbers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Comes over as a privileged rich kid with no grasp of football economics or the remotest empathy for the lives of his ‘customers’ in a largely working class city during a pandemic. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said. Sheffield is essentially a working class city and to expect supporters to spend a large proportion of their hard earned income supporting their team consisting of players being paid 20-30 thousand a week by the owner shows he is totally detached from reality and has no empathy with the city, the club and its supporters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 3miles from King Power stadium. Whilst Chansiri owns this football club I'm finding it impossible to make the trip up to Sheffield to bring my five year old son up as an owl. Leicester are a lovely club with wonderful owners. I never imagined I'd ever even think about my son being anything other than an owl but Chansiri has changed that. I'm the same, taken my lad a few times to Hillsborough, the football has been so dire he's not interested anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 He’s his own worst enemy. He’s stood up infront of a room of supporters and told us our money barely covers anything! Despite being some of the highest prices in the division. Few years later and now your basically not a proper fan if you’ve demanded your money back. Embarrassing listening to him 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 No way can Chansiri complain about the support given by our fans Between 19 thousand and 35 thousand fans have been paying some of the highest prices in the country for the past 5 years in support of him and the club. The fact that it has been squandered is 100% not on us 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonstrix Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There’s an interesting correlation between the way an owner treats the supporters and their response in difficult times such as these. So, down here the Plymouth owner/Chairman is a lifelong Argyle supporter and regarded as an all round bloody good bloke. When Covid hit, only 3% of supporters asked for refunds for the last two months of the season. They then had about 6500 season ticket renewals for this season, which was up on the previous season and when it transpired that things weren’t going to get fully back to normal as had been hoped, the numbers asking for refunds was even less than last season. This is what happens when the supporters feel a close bond between a club and themselves. The owner is the figurehead who sets the tone Mr Chansiri and that’s one of the reasons lots of Wednesday supporters, or customers as you see them, wanted their money back. 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters have watched him spunk millions up the wall through mismanagement. He hasn't accepted any responsibility for this. What on earth did he expect ? Totally deluded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pahowl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The ticket office/ ticketing system normally handles away ticket sales of over 2,000 every couple of weeks. Amazed we can't handle 10,000 refunds in 6 months! Get the customer to claim their refund by entering onto a secure site their bank details and then refund by bacs. At wednesdayite we issued Bristol City coach refunds before the game was due to take part back to the card used by the purchaser. We also issued partial refunds to 90% of our car park season ticket holders in about 7 days in June, with most getting refund same day as they gave us bank details . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
