  1. £5K is peanuts. It will be eaten up by ticket office staff wages who deal with it(who aren't getting paid anyway!). Far more is spent on drinks, pies and merchandise at Hillsborough each match by those who still refuse to stop buying.
  2. Defintely need home stands empty. Yes, I would rather support the team as a season ticket holder but the situation is so dire we have to step up the boycotts and protests. There's actually Facebook posts about people disagreeing with all the various boycotts saying it is stopping the staff from being paid. Having a right thread with a couple of guys. They just don't get it. I asked one if he was a season ticket holder as we have 3 tickets. He got abusive and said he wouldn't answer it which probably says it all. I will be at Charlton. Again fans complaining about that but with 3000 tickets at max £30 each will mean d*ickhead at 5% will only get less that £5K from it which won't touch the sides.
  3. Blimey. First two editions only dropped through my letter box this morning and haven't had time to read them yet!
  4. Cheers for that. Just ordered the first two copies as physical copies rather than digital
  5. I'll be getting one on Catchbar Lane if there are some left when i get there
  6. Money's too tight to mention - Simply Red
  7. We have 3 that we always renew in the (ridiculously) early bird phase but won't renew until he has gone now.
  8. What's even worse is those that reportedly bought tickets but didn't go so they can collect priority points. I am speechless if that is true. Absolutely selfish and need naming and shaming. As a season ticket holder (3 of) who will not renew if ****** is still there we didn't go last night but would have under other circumstances.
  9. The Trust need to attend and tell him that fans will not renew ST whilst he is there, boycott games, merchanise etc. He won;t take any notice but whatever is said is reported back WITHOUT the permission of the club - no redaction and agreed minutes fiasco like last time. Tell us how it is. There is no communication coming out the club. This is a chance to report back to EFL, new Regulator et al. I would be extremely concerned if the Trust don't attend. We need to know what is being said. Now is not the time to act like petulant kids. We (the Trust) need to take he high ground and keep the pressure on. Act professionally.
  10. We have 3 and won't renew, neither will a friend who we meet at the match.
  11. What about organising a coach or two to travel from Sheffield to London specifically to attend? We would get TV coverage on the setting off from Sheffield (especially if the pickup was outside the ground!) and then arrival at the Thaicembassy. Would Wednesdayite or others be able to arrange? I'd happily go down on the coach for a day out and protest!
  12. Way thinks are we'll play Bannan on Sunday thinking he is registered only to find out afterwards he isn't and get another EFL sanction and points deduction. Mark mi'words!
  13. I'm going Sunday and I've seen these on Amazon 60 for £8-99. I'm happy to buy 60 and give them out to people before we go through the turnstiles Whistles One of the reviews is quite encouraging!
  14. I've just googled whistles to buy a few and it came up with women's clothing! (apparently there is a women's clothing company called Whistles) I just hope our fanbase don't order a dress by mistake. On the otherhand it may confuse the facial recognition CCTV if we all turn up in dresses (and invade the pitch!) Maybe the Trust could buy a shed load of whistles (the blowing type!) and hand them out? I'll be getting some good loud referee whistles but even cheaper ones will do WAWhistlesAW
  15. I have been totally against an on the pitch protest due to all the after effects (bans, fines etc.) however even I now as a 60+ guy think this is probably the only way to get nationwide coverage and attention. We have 3 season tickets for the Grandstand (since our lad was 6 in the last season of Premiership football and we moved from our 20 years in the North stand to what was the family area in the Grandstand - padded seats and armrests! ) Unfortunately we won't be at the first home game as he is getting married that day. It would need banners to be taken on etc. and needs to be a careful walk on - not a rush of kids
