Chill out - we are something like 17 points adrift from staying up - nailed on relegation in fact - this will be the third match in a row with a 27k + attendance. Unusually It’s showing live on a FREE TV channel. It’s a bloody marvellous effort and no indicator of what crowds we would obviously pull given (yes we can dream) a season in the Premier League. Just enjoy the occasion - I don’t fancy us but all my many Blades mates are absolutely pooing it. It’s a football game.

I bought his autobiography (good read by the way) online. You can imagine my great surprise when I got a knock at the door one lazy Sunday afternoon and Rodger himself was stood outside book in hand. Not normally lost for words but boyhood hero personally delivering his own (signed) book caught me completely unawares. Top top bloke.

He’s definitely not championship level at leading the line. Would be useful next season in L1 if we still cant sign anyone under new ownership. However if we can sign others and get a decent fee let him go it’s a no brainer.

Any footage of a rousing ‘hi ho Sheffield Wednesday’ or couldn’t they be bothered?

As above - Fantastic show of togetherness with the boycott tonight. Dare we really test how strong our resolve is? If so let’s do it for the derby match? Now that really would be a show of commitment. I’m a ST holder and I’d do it.

As per the title. Question for all regular away supporters who given the need for priority points, I presume are ST holders. It’s looking like he’s going nowhere so are you going to renew if Chansiri is still here? A simple yes or no will suffice.

To really make a statement and to test whether everyone really is prepared to do their bit there has to be a boycott of the Blades at home.

Silly idea

This is a silly idea and looking around it seems it’s going to attract the response it deserves - no one will do it. If anything just a few going on will be even more embarrassing than not bothering. It’s the wrong tactic - Chansiri doesn’t give a F++k. He simply doesn’t care, isn’t bothered and will not be influenced by such stunts. It makes no difference to him in his pursuit of L1/2 football and a budget he can then afford. Keep the moral high ground starve him financially it’s the only thing that he understands. Arrests, personal bans, criminal records and adding pressure to an already under pressure team are not worth it. Starve him out!

Does anyone seriously think a pitch invasion will make any difference at all. There are 3 entities that can end this shitshow - 1 A buyer prepared to pay more than the club is worth. 2. A regulatory body with teeth to stop this via administration or using new legislation. 3. Chansiri himself decides to bail. Can’t see 1 or 2 at present and 3 is definitely not going to happen. He doesn’t give a flying F about any protests (if he is even aware of them) thousands of miles away. Nevertheless, eventually this will become just another sad period of Wednesdays long history. It’s not worth a lifetime ban. Protest in other ways - the financial stranglehold will at least hit home.

Nail meet Head. Our fanbase compared to our neighbours for example is very old and conservative. Look around where are the kids? 25 years and a whole generation of general shittiness to thank for it. I won’t be renewing after many years, I won’t even be attending regularly but I won’t be singing on a predetermined cue to a guy thousands of miles away who CLEARLY doesn’t give a flying F++K about any of the ‘protests’ and is determined to run the club down to a level commensurate with the squad - L1/2. If you want to buy scarves, sing or sit on your arse it’s all pretty irrelevant but if you want to do something STAY AWAY and DO NOT RENEW he can ignore it but his bank balance will get the message.

It quite simply HAS to be a televised live game. It will clearly attract the most media attention and it has the added benefit for those that absolutely cannot miss a game that they can watch it on TV. Absolute no brainer. I’m at ST holder and I’m in. What about the United match? Do we really want to be there whilst they create their own Boxing Day Massacre score?

I’m a ST holder - I’ve only been the once so far (not today). It’s a shitshow.

I’ve just ordered the book

If anyone wants a bit of a change from the ongoing shitshow have a listen. I know he’s been mentioned previously in relation to an attempt to fund and make a drama documentary film about him but if anyone wants an easy listen try this episode. Fred Spikesley - Massively successful player - one of Wednesday’s top ten highest scorer’s and England international but then topped that as a manager winning titles in Germany, Sweden, Mexico and the USA expounding skill and ball play in an era of regiment and effort. Fascinating personal life, escaped from internment in the Great War, involved in one of the first coaching films, appeared on stage with Charlie Chaplin. I can see why the film idea was considered interesting. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-football-history-podcast/id1575355821?i=1000544233411
