FreshOwl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 13 minutes ago, swfc1983 said: Sooner people realise we are just customers now in football the better. Chairmen (not just Chansiri) don’t care how many years you’ve been going, where you’ve sat, how many generations of your family have trudged through the turnstiles, they care about bank balances and profits. Football now more than ever is a business, it’s a race to the top of a greasy pole where a big pot of gold awaits those that are lucky enough to make it up there. The rest get left floundering in the poo at the bottom. The only bond that remains of a club now is between fans and even we can’t agree and argue most of the time. Football has changed forever and it’s not coming back. The sooner some get this the less hurt they’ll be about stuff, like waiting for an apology that will never come 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 If following the club was about who the chairman was, boy I would have stopped going decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Obviously under different circumstances, I'm not sure DC would be able to wander round the "Megastore" etc like he used to do on match days in the current climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By wanting a your ticket money back that makes you a customer, so it makes your customer nonsense rant nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it feel worse now for me is two significant things: -the situation now is after spending millions upon millions of wasted pounds. -we don’t even own our own ground now. Might not seem like the worlds biggest thing but for me it’s like selling our heart. And it didn’t even help us! When things were bad before you always felt someone could come in and make it better. Now there is no end in site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments about wanting our refunds and his customer nonsense is the last straw. He won't get a single penny from me again. And, I am still waiting for my £280, which for a struggling self-employed Newsagent, is a lot of money. Happy New Year. Bye then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerinako Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I thought as lockdown came in by March I'd spend some money on the web store to help the club Couldn't as the web store is still horrendous So de facto I'm also refusing to give money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj owl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Why do our supporters always seem to turn on others just for having an opinion. Everyone has always been entitled to that and make their own decisions and have done since football began - the difference now is they can choose to publicise it on an Internet forum and not just moan to their mates in the pub. For what it’s worth - I agree with the OP - for the first time in my 50 year old existence I will also be refraining from offering my previous unwavering support due to the actions / non-actions of our owner who has driven our club into the ground. Living away from Sheffield makes it easy for me to make that decision, but also means I have access to a demographic of non SWFC football followers much more readily. Up until recently they just viewed us as a ‘big’ club that was struggling like many before. However now they are becoming increasingly aware of yet another traditional English club being systematically destroyed by a foreign owner with apparently little knowledge or experience of the English game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
