I've been slowly moving away from Wednesday over the last 10 years and getting more involved at Kiveton Park FC. Started off volunteering by painting the cafe walls, then got roped into cutting the grass - ten years on I'm groundsman/social media editor/programme editor/Over 35s player (reduced to 5th choice keeper now...) It's fantastic being a part of a community and knowing you make a real difference. As Chansiri said, we're just customers at SWFC - you're more than that in non-league. Me marking lines last year -

Stay at Hillsborough. - Flatten the Kop and build a new one like at Anfield - Flatten the West Stand and build a new one like at Blackburn - Refurbish the North with wider concourses and executive boxes at the back (World Cup plans) - Refurbish the South

93 cup final replay. I was 7, my mum let me watch the game but when it went to extra-time she sent me to bed so I listened to it on the radio/alarm clock I had. Was just finishing writing down the five I wanted to take penalties when they scored in injury time. It was the first time I realised how cruel football could be. They'd already beaten us in the League Cup final so my 7yo brain thought it automatic that we'd have the FA Cup to make it fair - I sobbed my heart out that night.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia my all-time favourite TV show - above anything. Seeing Rob McElhenney trying to help Sheffield Wednesday is mind-boggling. Hopefully he can persuade Danny DeVito to buy us...

I presume Leeds have sold out, and a fair chunk are buying in the South Stand.

Barnsley are. I suggested it to the SHFA a few years ago when I was on their county cup steering group - glad to see Wednesday back in it.

Not if 10,000 fans barricade the entrances hours before kick-off.

Had a fair few from DHGate now and all been great. Got the

Of course he will.

I've given Will special permission to do his pre-season running on my pitch at Kivo, on the proviso that KPFC get a sell-on fee when he signs for Barcelona... Seriously though, a really nice lad with a top attitude, always courteous, and surrounded by a lovely family who are all big Wednesdayites. Would love it if he makes his first team debut this season.

I know of one high-ranking ex-employee who would love nothing more than to highlight Chansiri's working practices from the very earliest days of his time at S6. A big Wednesdayite who left within months of Chansiri arriving as he couldn't work under him anymore.

Not sure how I missed this, but I'm absolutely thrilled to see Ambrose might be getting a new headstone. Donated.

To be fair they have an outstanding volunteer media team that really push the team well on Twitter.

Not wanting to detract from their achievement but they were playing county level football - well below most other clubs of our stature. They finished behind Brunsmeer Athletic and Kiveton Park, and only beat AFC Bentley to third place as Bentley couldn’t finish their fixtures owing to waterlogged pitch. It’s pretty poor that SWLFC aren’t sufficiently backed to play three or four divisions higher.

Played against him last year. Him up top, me marking him at CB. Absolute monster of a bloke, must be 6’6. Tried starting a few light hearted convos but he wasn’t having any of it.

What I have heard is that an authority (SAG?) won't renew the safety license for the North Stand beyond it's expiry in summer 2025. Major problem with the roof, and exit ramps too. The 'club' wanting to replace nuts and bolts rather than the comprehensive work needed. Someone very high up at the club wanted to see the damage for himself so there's a picture of him on top of the North Stand in a hard hat arguing the throw with structural engineers.

He’s done some amazingly stupid things over the years, but even I don’t think Chansiri will be stupid enough to respond to supporter protests while ever they number in the low hundreds.

Far more there than I expected.

Incredible video.

Was interviewed for the job a few years ago. By Att Chansiri.

For every game, from now until Chansiri finally twigs on that he's going to have to accept losing most of his money and sell to the best bidder. - Non-season ticket holders - don't buy a ticket. - Season-ticket holders - attend the game - don't buy anything on club premises. No beer, no merchandise, no programmes, no pies, not a penny. - Before the game - hundreds of biodegradable black balloons released in the ground. - On kick-off, hundreds of tennis balls onto the pitch - more than Reading did at the weekend. - Throughout the game, get behind the team - let the players know they have our support. - Second half kick-off - hundreds more tennis balls onto the pitch. Anyone that disagrees with you, tuts, tells you to sit down - ignore them and carry on doing whatever you can to save our football club.

Are those bottom two lines correct?

It's clear now that Chansiri has no future at SWFC. In a perfect world, someone will come in with an offer that reflects the club's worth (a fiver?) and the clown will realise that he has to cut his losses and escape with however much he can get. But we know that's not going to happen. What's more likely is that Chansiri will drag us through the mud for years and years to come - doing the bare minimum to keep the club afloat while simultaenously defunding it to the point where we can't even compete in the lower reaches of the EFL, in front of less than 10k fans. We can't let that happen. I don't know of anyone with a spare £200m knocking about, but fans DO still have an option - to defund him completely. - Stop buying tickets - Stop buying food and drink in the ground - Stop buying merchandise in the club shop - Absolutely no money to SWFC whatsoever When it comes to selling season tickets in December - don't give him a penny. His refusal to put money into the club and rectify the mess he has caused, along with our refusal to put money into the club, will force the issue. That points to administration - and I'd rather that happen as soon as possible. On the pitch we are a complete disaster. We are absolutely certain to be relegated this season in my opinion. We have a clueless manager and players nowhere near good enough for the level we're at. I would absolutely settle for us going into admin, take the points deduction, take the relegation, and start afresh in League 1 next season under a new owenership model. Thoughts?
