I agree but that’s the key “ off to a flyer” I know this is off topic but this is where pay on the gate prices are killing us If the club gets on a roll in league 1 ( ok it’s if) but IF we did that is the time to capitalize. Are we MASSIVE like we claim. No not with our record over 20 years BUT in league one? Wednesday on a roll? Stadium and potential we have? Yes I believe we are massive. Massive at the side of clubs with followings of 5000 or less Thats where you capitalize on pay on the gate “ on a roll” is what we need to generate it will also help with recruitment Where do hungry players want to play? Cambridge in front of 4000 for 10 grand a week Or Hillsborough in front of 22000 a week for 8 grand a week? ( the figures are illustrative but just highlight the point) When Chansiri says we need to sort things off the field then next to firing his advisors pay on the gate has to be a priority. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The only way to hurt Chansiri is to hit him in the pocket. I don’t miss going to matches, I haven’t enjoyed watching Wednesday in quite a while and enjoy the pub before with my mates more than the match itself. I’ll go next season as I’m being forced to roll my ticket over but after that, we’ve all said that if Chansiri is still there we are done. A couple of the lads are talking about going round a few of the local none league sides on a Saturday but the rest of us are going to go drinking around Hillsborough as usual on a match day but then just go back to my house to watch the match. I’m done giving Chansiri anymore of my money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree - there needs to be a simplified system for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the end of a dreadful season. Now is the time to start planning for next season and getting behind the team. Now is the time to look ahead. No point in looking back with the could have should have would have mind stem. The past is history and we can’t go there Our owner needs to step up and keep the promises he makes about the team 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no squad. No money. We are a league 1 club. We haven't been paying the players wages. Our better players will leave for peanuts. And we have an idiot owner who will be charging top dollar to watch Dross. The future of Sheffield Wednesday has never looked so bright. All I can say is a fool and his money are easily parted. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and this is definitely one of those times. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I was there cheering when we signed Forestieri. Likewise when we signed Rhodes, Fletcher and Urby. So, I’m also going to be there when we sign Gary from Darlington. If some of you don’t fancy it, then fair enough. I do though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will now look for our next ‘hero’ Look what the likes of Llera Reda semedo etc became at that level, the journey starts again. At least we can rebuild without the pigs smashing us 4-0 twice in the season anyway, all clouds and that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 We need to keep supporting the club but not Chansiri. Every game will be a great opportunity to protest against his ownership in the most vociferous manner possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that potg has to be sorted to entice people back and to get numbers into the ground so that it's not only a quarter full. Be interesting to see what happens to season tickets that are rolling over to next season should he slash potg prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game will be a great opportunity to protest against his ownership in the most vociferous manner possible. Need to get the balance right though. As people mention, we need to get off to a flyer and gather momentum, that won't be done if the players are turning out in front of a toxic atmosphere for 90 mins every other week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
