  1. I’m a POTG supporter. I’ve upheld the boycott so far. However while others go to every match home and away it’ll be increasingly difficult for me to maintain that stance. So if you feel you should be going, then go.
  2. Wether away fans are crucial to our protests is a matter of opinion.
  3. If POTG are going to boycott then also boycott away matches. Also there should be targeted boycotts of home matches including ST holders. I’d suggest the next 3 matches on Sky for maximum impact.
  4. 400mile round trip when I get to a game. Therefore buy a pie, chips and a drink when I get to the match. Buy inside the ground cos I like to enjoy the atmosphere when I get there. Seems people/ST holders expecting POTG supporters to do all the heavy lifting while they watch every home game and pick up their points for away games? BTW first match of season I could have got to was Leeds. Didn’t go cos I support and will continue to support the boycott. Shame a few more people didn’t see the writing on the wall six months ago when they bought their season tickets.
  5. Well aware of the limitations of ChatGPT thanks
  6. Thank you. So the £7.5m effectively appears in the SWFC bank account and can then be used by SWFC…..?
  7. My knowledge of finance could be written on the back of a fag packet so forgive me for being thick. I asked ChatGPT if any money ended up in Sheffield Wednesday’s account after the sale of the stadium
  8. My knowledge of finance could be written on the back of a fag packet so forgive me for being thick. I asked ChatGPT if any money ended up in Sheffield Wednesday’s account after the sale of the stadium to Sheffield 3 Ltd. This is the reply: “The stadium was sold for £60 million to Sheffield 3 Ltd, a company owned by Dejphon Chansiri, the club’s owner. In the club’s accounts, this sale was recorded as “profit on disposal of fixed assets”, helping to create a paper profit of around £38 million. However, according to the audited financial statements, there is no evidence that the club received the £60 million in cash. Instead, it appears the transaction was conducted via internal accounting entries — essentially moving numbers between companies Chansiri controlled. Source evidence: 2018–19 club accounts show £61 million in income from related parties — believed to be linked to the stadium sale — but cash flow statements do not show an equivalent cash inflow. BBC Sport and The Guardian both reported that no physical money changed hands between Sheffield 3 Ltd and the football club.” What I don’t understand, if the above is true, is how Sheffield 3 Ltd can now own the stadium without Sheffield Wednesday benefiting in any obvious way. Like I say I’m sure I’m misunderstanding something!
  9. If DC is not going to sell then our best hope is for him to struggle on until the IFR is up and running. To me, dealing with this sort of situation is going to be one of its major functions.
  10. What’s going to happen to iFollow audio commentary?
  11. Does anyone know if you pay on the gate for the Ipswich match tomorrow night?
  12. Just got 4 tickets by phone - just kept ringing 0871 900 1867 and eventually got through
  13. Since last Sunday we've played 2, Utd 3 and we've gained a point on them - I'd certainly have taken that 1pm on Sunday.......no brainer really
  14. Couldn't agree more. This is a very poor league, to get out of it you don't have to be a great team - an average team with one or maybe two talented players is all you need to be. Before January that's what we were - now we're just an average team who will make the play offs but almost certainly get no further.The answer is quite simple and doesn't involve discovering the South Yorkshire Messi or going tens of millions of pounds into debt.
  15. Ten minutes to stitch the worse cut he's seen in 17 years - either he's f*****g quick or he's not seen many cuts!!
  16. I don't think many clubs are going to get out of the Championship (the right way) with a player budget of £6m pa (I'm sure at this point someone will remind me that Chiping Ongar FC have won the Champions League for the last 3 years paying their players with washers and empty crisp packets). Our problem isn't that we can't finance our debt (although that may change if our revenue falls and interest rates go up) - its that we can't attract new investment because no one is going to put £25m into a team that has no prospect of Premiership football. Without investment we won't be able to get a squad capable of challenging for promotion - its a circular argument
  17. I for one was bloody glad it was him that put the ball down on the spot in Cardiff in 2005
  18. You may be right - however basically same team finished mid-table last season. So were they over-performing then or under-performing now? I daresay the truth is somewhere in between.
  19. Fair point..........font size a bit OTT though?
