  1. Making more noise about an offside goal than any protest all this season. Blows my mind!
  2. Well done every single one of you! Did something others weren’t prepared to do to try and escalate our cause!
  3. I know mate! Hopefully not too much longer until we’re all back! WAWAW
  4. First time really starting to wobble on the boycott! Kids are desperate to go and not going to kid myself I am too! What a crap season, I can’t stand what this utter fuckwit has done to our club! Protest loud people!
  5. Post not poster takes some testing with posts like this! Unbelievable. The fact you suggest the family or EFL will be the only ones to force him out; it doesn’t happen by magic does it! Condemnation and coverage across multiple national media outlets, if anything is going to force the wider family or EFL to act it’s reputation and damage limitation in this scenario. Every fan that has stayed away, sacrificed another family night out, lost the priority points and sat here posting on a forum in their living rooms has helped move us forward, certainly more than those “supporters” in the ground.
  6. The problem is there is no protest in the ground! This just adds to the whole perception that those who paid their renewal fees in January are happy to “get behind the team” and will continue to support the club regardless. For those who didn’t renew in January (I am one) I have no way of making any impact at Hillsborough as I will not pay on the gate. The best next step for the Trust is to organise an in ground protest for Season ticket holders to be part of.
  7. Nothing against Pederson but he’s simply a placeholder in a miserable chapter of our history. Great that he’s carried the players throughout the summer and is clearly popular with the squad but he will either be the fall guy or replaced if new ownership ever arrives! He knew what he was signing up for and unfortunately disruption to games and a poor atmosphere were always inevitable. Nothing against him at all but also don’t want to hear it in the press conferences.
  8. A much needed reality check for some. The club cannot continue to just operate by turning up and “getting behind the players”. That route ends outside the 92 or worse. Chansiri has got away with it today. Things need to get much worse before they can get better.
  9. Didn’t renew last season. I’ve got a 70+ year old and a 4 year old both desperate to go (total different ends of the following Wednesday spectrum) and missing out on making amazing memories together! Tough morning this morning, the first home game is always special and last year was the youngests first experience of that excitement and wonderment as we took Plymouth to pieces. My ask for those going in is please make yourselves heard, be loud, be disruptive and help get our Wednesday back.
  10. Amazing coverage and away end almost empty to a man! 2,000 fans outside but not delaying kick off I thought is a bit odd! Great coverage from Sky as well! Well done the Trust. Dictator out!
  11. Under NDA so can’t really respond I imagine
  12. Good listen here with Tillman from a few years ago! Talks about how he acquired the Rockets (and failed in a bid for them previously) and his general approach to business. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-cardone-zone/id825614458?i=1000716487674 If it is this guy it’s a serious level of wealth and business success. Liked his tenacity to get deals done, if hes genuinely at the table I think he gets the deal over the line.
  13. Utter ******** disgrace. He has no intention of selling. He’s going to cling on like a cockroach. Once again lies and deceit gaslight the fans give them hope and string them along! We are about to start seeing the stark reality of how this plays out into the season.
  14. Ignoring the usual lies, misinformation and finger pointing that’s become all to frequent with this shambolic human and his statements. The most concerning reveal was that he is seeking additional funding. God helps us if somehow finds it and is able to continue to run the club whilst getting bank rolled from who knows what sort of finance.
  15. Right towards the end as we were leaving they put on “Time to say goodbye” Talk about salt in the wounds
  16. Ridiculous stewarding. Hate to think how much money was wasted on that volume of people and uniforms. Maybe thought there was a risk of protests on the pitch at full time and didn’t want anymore poor PR?
  17. Not just a great manager but seems a genuinely great bloke as well! Spent a good 45 minutes going the length of the north and south signing shirts and stopping for photos with every waiting fan. Players body language was also telling. Lots of hugs, handshakes and gratitude. What could have been. Chansiris biggest mistake to date breaking this relationship. Good luck DR. An absolute pleasure.
  18. Some heartfelt goodbyes and thank you’s required at Full time. What memories some of these players have given us. Not the most talented we’ve seen but can’t fault their attitudes and loyalty throughout the chaos. Bannan - Mr Sheffield Wednesday Windass - Wembley, Blackburn, Own half madness Palmer - That playoff goal. Perfect it was him. Marv - That playoff cross Smith - Workhorse and his goals got us out L1 They’ve all put a great shift in. Let’s give them the send off they deserve
  19. Do we know if he is planning on attending today?
  20. Some short memories. We have absolutely no right to be playing Championship football this year without the great escape the manager instigated last year. Bottom half transfer budget Bottom half squad value Bottom half training facilities Bottom half commercial Bottom half academy Bottom half corporate Bottom half matchday experience Oh and look where we are bottom half! The blokes performed miracles with what he’s had to work with and the conditions he’s done that under. And he’s spot on in his post match comments; this squad will be in a relegation battle next year as that’s exactly where we belong. I also don’t blame him for losing some of that desire and joy from last season, there’s season ticket holders of 30+ years who can’t be bothered anymore and we only have to go once every couple of weeks. Imagine suffering it every bloody day! He’ll go with my best wishes and a sincere gratefulness for some great memories and football these past 18 months.
  21. Like something out of an Orwell novel or a rouge dictator state. Total manipulation and gaslighting in an attempt to control the masses. Just leave.
  22. We’re also going to Hallam. Huge game for them today. Like previous posters have said big game and a cheaper enjoyable alternative to an apathetic Hillsborough.
  23. 3 season tickets and 2 junior members that aren’t coming back unless something changes between now and Aug 2025. Get him gone. Enough is enough
  24. He’s ripe for the taking: - Not a big enough name to cause too much protest - Skint so can’t wrap anyone up in litigation and legal cases - Not liked in football circles - Pissed off so many clubs and high profile names no-one is lobbying to save him - Not even backed or liked by his club or locality We live in hope!
