It's interesting that this info seems to have come from the Union.
My understanding is that some staff don't want to involve the Union in matters just yet. I think for all Chansiri's faults - and not paying them their full wages is obviously the biggest - he's done a lot of good things for the staff team to improve working conditions. People remember this, but the lack of communication and repeat offending is chipping away at his banked respect.
I don't mind Hi Ho Silver Lining before kick-off, but it's absolutely awful as a chant during the game - the silence after belting out 'HI HO SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY' is deafening.
I think if you want something unique, then you'd be relying on the likes of Reverend and the Makers or Arctic Monkeys to come up with something. Basically if one of those can write our own version of "Sunshine on Leith" then we'd be laughing.
The Pigs' anthem isn't unique though, it was originally a Rotherham United song (Like a night out in Masborough). I'm surprised the Millers never tried claiming it back but we all know how much they admire each other.
Yeah it's certainly not my idea, it was suggested a few months ago by somebody on here.
I don't think you can unless you provide the Trust with your details (name, postcode, ID number) but as you say, there's no way to validate it with the club.
Feels like the protests have shifted up a gear.
As always, I'll be fully supporting the Trust's boycott of the Middlesbrough game and will not be renewing early. It would be great if there were a petition that current season ticket holders could sign to demonstrate the potential impact of not renewing our season tickets.
Met him after we won promotion from League 1 when we beat Wycombe 2-0. In a drunken daze, I somehow found myself in the directors box after the match sharing a red wine with him - I was sat in the North stand to start with! He saw the funny side to it all. I met him again at a sponsors dinner and he remembered me and said “oh it’s you the drunken guy who drank all my wine!”.
RIP Milan
I’ve always liked Cov, I’ll never forget their tribute for Steven & Shaun.
Yet another example of their class today, they encouraged the pitch invaders and clapped along with our protests.
I really hope they go up, there’s a lot of similarities between us.
Take my hat off to the 50 or so who went on the pitch today.
I couldn’t take part in it (it would be a threat to my job) but it made a point and got a lot of media attention.
I hope there’s no repercussions for the majority, if there’s any fines then let’s see a fundraising for them.
I have a season ticket so still going, but definitly wont be renewing if he's still here by that time.
The final straw, as in I vocally called for him to sell the club and leave, was when he sacked Moore and appointed Munoz. I think before this I would just give him the benefit of the doubt that he was an aneccentric owner and it was better the devil you know.
I just can't see season ticket holders who are still attending invading the pitch and risking getting a ban from football and a criminal record. I would be risking my job if I did it.
As others have pointed out, there are other ways to disrupt a game.
If there's a group of vigilantes prepared to stop or postpone this weekend's game, get your heads together and come up with something better than invading the pitch.
Expected it, but can't argue with it as it's in the rules.
DC will soon be directly responsible for two relegations from the Championship. That's his legacy.
If you are wearing a Trust scarf and buying food and drink from the kiosks then you deserve to be called out.
The others can do as they please. I don’t agree with it but if they’ve not got onboard with it now then they never will.
But if the group of alcoholic I got to match with can refrain from a few pre-match and HT beers then it should be a piece of cake for everybody else!
He didn't say anything that's not already been said.
However, as it has come from Barry Bannan's mouth, who as club captain has understandably remained neutral in all this, it has more weight. It tells you a lot about what's happening - or what's not happening - behind the scenes.
DC won't like it.
