I honestly don't think it is (I don't think he knows how to plan) because incredibly we've employed at least 2 additional coaches over recent weeks.

Unfortunately, its been necessary since the Tolpuddle Martyrs in the early 1800s.

The politics section is in another part of the site. In there you'll be able to refer to thousands of examples of similar degrees of cronyism in the 14 years of the previous Conservative government.

Are you gonna tell him or shall I?

Where have you got the idea that the Trust's whole strategy is about defunding cuntsiri, it's certainly a major part of it but not the only part. Another strand has been about raising awareness both locally and nationally about the way he's destroying one of the longest running professional football clubs in the country. Was the march from the Crucible to Hillsborough Park about defunding him? No!! Was the 5 minute delay before fan's entered the stadium at Leicester about defunding him? No!! Was the protest outside the Thai embassy in London about defunding him? No!! Was the march through Hillsborough Park behind a SWFC adorned coffin about defunding him? No!! I'm sure you've got my drift. This is about building up the momentum of the protests in another new way, in front of the Sky camera's for maximum impact. Yes, I accept that he won't have to spend extra money for the additional stewards that he could suddenly find funding for, but what's to stop the threat of pitch invasions being used for other home games this season; absolutely nothing, so nothing lost in that respect.

More evidence, if it was still needed, for the Regulator to pursue and remove the narcissistic man-baby.

The bottom one; non payment of players

When did he say this pal, because as far as I'm aware most players haven't received their end of September pay and most non-playing staff have only received a portion of their expected wage. This would suggest that he hasn't secured such funding.

Yep, we arrange our own minibus to games, and following a WhatsApp group chat this morning, the minibus has been cancelled for the Boro game. That's 8 adults and 1 Junior ST holders not attending the game.

I know what you mean, but look at from a more positive perspective. If those numbers turned out to be true, that's between two-thirds and three-quarters NOT renewing and that's in addition to those who have already taken a similar stance over the past few seasons. Those kinds of numbers would be totally unprecedented for a club the size of Wednesday.

I don't disagree with your points, and I really respect those fans that have already made the decision to boycott, whether that has been for this season or even longer as in your case. I've mentioned previously on here that I reluctantly made the decision to renew my season ticket early in the first phase, and based on the shitshow we've seen since March onwards (I know crap was happening before that, but I don't think even the most enlightened boycotter could have foreseen just how bad things would get) it's a decision I regret. However, I've also said I can't change that decision so I'm not going to beat myself up over it., but I can determine what I'm going to do going forward. People can and should make there own choices, and I'll respect whatever choices they make even if personally I don't agree with them. Some people, and maybe I include myself in this, worry that their individual choice will have little impact in isolation and therefore will be more inclined to take specific actions if part of a coordinated and concerted drive. Sorry for my ramblings, I'm just trying to make what sense I can out of what's recently been happening to our club, and maybe put a slightly different perspective so we can all understand each other better. After all, we all want the same thing at the end of the day.

IMO the Trust have manged the protests brilliantly so far, they've built them up, consolidated support and then added to them piece by piece, thereby building momentum on the way. Some people have been calling for total boycotts of everything, but for many people that's a step too far. We've got to the stage now where they are calling for a boycott of a home game. Let's see how successful that is. I know Owlstalk isn't fully representative of the wider Wednesday fanbase, but initial reactions on here are really positive, so I'm hopeful that we'll see a massive reduction in home attendees for the game. If successful, consolidate further and build again. That's the stage to take the next step and call for a boycott of an away game; then reflect and consider next steps. The Trust have said all along that this won't be a quick fix, so they've developed a strategy accordingly, whilst so far taking the majority along with them. To go in all guns blazing at the beginning would IMO have veen counter-productive and could have alienated more fabs than encouraged. We need to trust them to continue to implement that strategy whilst continuing to build wider support within the fanbase. That's the only way we'll get rid of this cowardly narcissistic parasite.

Thanks for your response. I'm one of those ST holders you mention who renewed at the last early bird prices. I did so with some reluctance based on the previous embargoes and late payment of wages but did so none the less. Its a decision I now regret based on the shitshow since March onwards. I can't change the past so I'm not going beat myself up over it, however I can positively make changes going forward; one being not renewing whilstever he is still in charge. I also believe many more are of the same or similar opinion, though as you say not everybody is on board with that change. I'm quite positive that a significant majority will not renew whilst he's still in charge, but we won't know final figures until much later. We'll just have to wait and see.

Where do you get that figure from Lawrie? I can only go on the people on our minibus who are ST holders (8 adult and 1 junior) and not 1 are renewing. The 4 others that often come to some games with us (previously bought memberships so attend 10-15 games via potg), have not been to a game so far this season and don't intend to whilst he's still in charge. I know it's only a small sample, but I'd be surprised more than 5000 renewed. That's still too high imo, but it would be a major blow to his income streams if numbers were anywhere close to that figure.

My point!! Who cares what L**ds would do. Riots in the city; are you sure!! I'm sick and tired of so called Wednesday fans continuing to slag other Wednesday fans for trying something different to change things. You haven't had a positive thing to say for months about things that fans are doing, but at least some are trying to change things through positive action. I include people like you who are making their own stand by not attending games. Well done, but your non attendance on its own won't change things, it has to coincide with other things that keep the media's attention, and 20, 30 40 people that go on the pitch, live on Sky, will have in all respect have more impact than you not attending games. That's my point.
