Popular Post Bez Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 He assumed Wednesday fans would open their wallets and spend. Pouring cash into the club to support the team they love. He assumed that he could make the club a commercial success. He failed to understand that Yorkshiremen are tight as they come and that South Yorkshire is NOTHING like the rest of the country. As someone not native to the area is was a shock to me too. Yorkshire is miles more working class than other places and Sheffield isn’t like Manchester/Birmingham/Leeds. Stafford said the same back in the day. Most Wednesday fans haven’t got the cash to spend on the club. You aren’t going to sell out lots of boxes and top end merchandise. This issue caps the potential of the club. It will always be held back by the land that time forgot... 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaOwl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Chansiri's biggest problem is easy to define - he's just too nice to be in the business that he is. Everything he ever complains about were all very predictable before he decided to own a football club. He walked into a trap and got devoured by the vultures awaiting him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Fans would spend more if the club was better run and was doing better on the pitch. Like with every other club in the bleeding world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We do have a lot of fans that travel from outside South Yorkshire the attend games; once the effort to get to the game wears thin, there’s a drop in attendances. A lot of successful people from the local area also tend to move away (and take the cash with them and have further to travel to get to games); whereas I’m not sure you can say the same about Mancs and Brummies. Population, catchment areas, previous success, how many clubs you have locally, also plays a massive role. Commercially, we have little to offer also, our shop is terrible. Our grounds is miles from anywhere with limited facilities, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e6owl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Commercial income is an area where we've actually consistently improved since Chansiri came in, just also one where we're clearly not living up to our potential. It's not really about shirts and the shop though, because I think we sell more than enough of those. We just really haven't got our act together on sponsorships. Look at Leeds last season for comparison, almost every bit of their kit, their training equipment, all of it, was sponsored by various companies. Hard to say if it's due to lack of effort on Chansiri's part or due to lack of interest, with us being a down and out club with a low profile, but surely we can get more commercial income without Chansiri having to invent more fake companies?

As an example I haven’t bought an SWFC top in maybe 12-15 years and have no intention of doing so. because I’m a tight Yorkshireman but also because it’s something I won’t bother wearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
