Take it you've never been to Glasgow? It's not still like the Gorbals and ship building industry of yesteryear!!

That's what was reported. Wasn't there, only seen the videos and it looks about right.

52 went on the pitch. I reckon 40 or so said they would from this site. Maybe all 40 did?

This is the big one for me. The current custodian's only chance of clinging on for longer is early bird renewals. A massive boycott of games leading up to the sales will show him that income is not happening, and may well be the straw that breaks the w*nk*rs back.

Looks equally as "drawn by a school kid" on the official shirt at the time, so least it's a good copy!

Would love a DHGate special of the shirt on your avatar! With the yellow/sky blue one from the same era, it was my favourite away shirt!

Give over! That's Neil's day rate!

Good luck to them, hope they get the monies they are due ASAP and with the absolute bare minimum impact on their own financial circumstances. Be interesting to see how the club responds - there will be some employees for whom if they end up striking, games won't be able to go ahead.

Maybe she could use the £122m to buy Ch*nsiri out? She might be a Tory and alledgedly known of dodgy PPI orders, but she's better on the eye than auld Cowboy Textor!

Groundbreaking news mate, who would have thought party donations lead to favours?! You wouldn't need to look hard enough to see examples of this for decades and across both main parties (and no doubt it would happen across any party in "power" too)...

Down from near 20,000 last season... That would be a massive f*cking win. Of course, no-one should renew, but here in the real world that's not happening at any football club regardless of the circumstances.

Pennies for the responsibility which comes with the gig.

I don't believe this. But, even if it was true, it's been stated that the Regulator will be taking into account past misdemeanours and the current custodian of SWFC has a very long rap sheet. He's target no.1 for the Regulator no matter what happens from here on in.

The players will do what the PFA instructs them to do, which is highly likely to play the fixture in order to not breach their contracts. Would love to see the players walk off, but that's fantasy stuff. Us as fans should do what's within our control; boycott the games, boycott the merch, disrupt games wherever possible, and cause the absolute maximum of embarrassment and financial strain to the current custodian as possible. Anyone fully behind getting rid of the current custodian isn't even remotely tempted to pay and go to the Sheffield Derby IMO.

Thanks for the summary, really appreciate it. Think this one is obvious though. In many work place situations, if you've got the bosses back - no matter what - you're probably elevated above your natural level in job role and salary. There is a very good chance people lose that if there is change at the top, and may not get the same treatment at other companies. Seen it plenty of times in my own working career.

As you say, it's been going on long enough now for people to know better. If folk aren't on board now, they probably never will be and I can't help think it's a waste of energy trying to change that now - if anything, they're more likely to dig their heels in; probably spend money at the club they otherwise wouldn't have just to be a d*ck. We have to be realistic with what's achievable and there is a cohort of fans (at every club) who just won't get it. We have some folk in politics trying to rip our country apart too, and people just can't/don't want to see it - and when it's pointed out, they dig deeper into their bunker. Be the same with a proportion of our fans unfortunately and that's why energy is best spent on those who get it. PS, sorry I know politics is banned!

You can't if you're Ducth and live over there, Wim.

Whether we like it or not, some folk just want to go and watch Wednesday, and have little/zero interest in the running of the club. Every club has them. Focus on the fact the current boycott has had a major impact on the current custodian, and let's see what impact a call to arms to STH's does vs Boro. Even if 8,000 turn up, it's still some statement!

Not true. This is what SWFC looks like when the owner has front loaded money, with ST and merch money for the current season having been spent in the previous season. This club could pay its monthly bills in full and on time without the above mismanagement.

That’ll include corporates, players family/friends, other guests, etc.

I’d rather Chris Wilder.

RIP Milan, came to the rescue when we were desperate on the steps of the High Court and saved us from God knows what. Managed to bring the club together and lay solid foundations (even if it was a bit dull at times, we’d take that now!) of a solid Championship team. Of course, he didn’t have the finances to take us further than that - and he knew the club needed deeper pockets. No-one could have predicted what the current custodian would go on and do, and I think Milan was genuinely upset when he was on RS a few months back. Does look like that venture of his was cut short in relation to an illness, which has sadly taken him now. Respect to Milan - he was a proper businessman and a proper football man, who also “got” Wednesday; what I’d do for one of those at our football club right now. Condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

Agreed, wasn’t picking holes - was more intrigued as to why the f*ck he was playing there!

Thanks - can tell I’ve paid no interest in on-field activity this season! Thanks current custodian for that!! Needs must I guess, just seems odd when we are so threadbare at the back, we’d play, IMO, one of our best and experienced defenders in midfield. Guess we are pretty light in midfield too, mind! What a sh*tshow.

I’ve really not bothered at all this season with on field stuff, but just noticed Valery is playing in central midfield (at least from the Sky Sports app). What the hell is all that about?!
