Away games, a closed shop?
WalkleyWeds replied to danblakemore's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
As someone in a similar situation to the OP I think it’s a valid point to raise. Trouble is it’s hard to think of an alternative that wouldn’t feel like punishment to the die hard fans who put in the hard miles to earn the big away days. -
Is just tying down Joao and Bannan bigger...
WalkleyWeds replied to owlszone's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Be as aggressively deluded as you want, but we’re on a serious knife edge financially and the people tasked with ensuring we don’t start next season with another embargo or a points deduction are very likely to have set an arbitrary target similar to this as a measure of whether we invest or cut our losses in January. Think about how competitive this league is , and if you are over 6 points from the playoff going into February how unlikely it is that the other 3 or 4 teams around you giving chase as well as the teams occupying the playoff spots are to all drop that amount of points to allow us to leapfrog them. Anyway, just an opinion and I hope we are so comfortably nestled in the top 2 come January that it becomes irrelevant. -

WalkleyWeds replied to owlszone's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Hope so. The cynic in me always sees a valuable player at any club sign a new deal and I wonder what new clauses are written in too. -

WalkleyWeds replied to owlszone's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Its really hard to know. The club avoid telling us anything, major news outlets wont look beyond the Premiership for anyone but Leeds and our local paper is hardly a fountain of knowledge and insight. I really hope I’m wrong but I’m just voicing my interpretation of how I think the club are shaping to react should we not be promoted. I think behind closed doors there will have been enquiries but we’ve probably played hardball to give it one last decent crack of the whip before we have to think about wholesale changes to the expensive end of the squad. -

Our financial position hasn’t changed, my interpretation is we’ve put ourselves in a stronger negotiating position to sell them should the vultures come circling. -

I’m just bracing myself for January. If we are more than 6 points from the playoffs expect a fire sale, including these two. -
This post is so wholesome. I wish I was that old man.

Anyone got the new #SWFC away shirt yet?
WalkleyWeds replied to @owlstalk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Is the Elev8 a stick on like the home shirt or stitched like last seasons? Prefer this year’s designs but the feel of them is the cheapest we’ve had since the Azerbaijan sponsored shirt -
How do you rate the new kit overall?
WalkleyWeds replied to @owlstalk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
3/10. I like the design but the printed on sponsor looks cheap. The Elev8 on the shirt is a blemish that makes us look amateurish, but to go from it being stitched in to a stick on is even worse. Poor offering that reflects the messy and out of touch running of the club. -
Could see him going to stoke when Butland leaves after their relegation. Weve got two quality young keepers and I don’t think it would hurt to reinvest his transfer fee.

Anyone excited for next season at #SWFC yet?
WalkleyWeds replied to @owlstalk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Im not getting deluded about next year’s promotion push. Still got England’s World Cup win to deal with first.- 58 replies

Variety – The Stripes of Life!

3 is excellent. Reminds me of the ‘82 England shirt. -
Advice please for this Saturday

Get on the tram from the station as mentioned above. Get off at the hillsborough stop straight outside the Rawson Spring - Wetherspoons with a big screen. -
Good point. He should retire now as he will never achieve more than those 2 caps three years ago.

The reality is league one.
WalkleyWeds replied to TheEnchanter's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I think people just need to remember this happens to plenty of clubs when you are building something. Brighton took 5 years to get up and in one of those seasons they were closer to relegation than promotion. Same with Derby who could very well go up this year. Once we get our first team back next season we will be back in the promotion mix. Might be a league one promotion at this rate but either way it’ll be a fun season -
VAR - keep out the nerds.
WalkleyWeds replied to fred mciver's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I think it’s always going to split fans depending how they watch games. Once they get it going properly TV coverage will no doubt have instant access to the replay footage as the ref is seeing it (so we see what he is concentrating on, not just their own replays) and, maybe, can broadcast his conversations with the assistant refs at that time. Possibly will create another interesting part of watching footy on TV. In the The stadium I think it will always be a problem as you won’t dare celebrate a goal until it has been reviewed and authenticated. I think it will suck the life out of love football and push more people towards armchair viewing. -
If superstition really plays any part in Carlos’ decision making then add it to the long list of reasons he has to go.

Got my new Sheffield Wednesday shirt
WalkleyWeds replied to Lomas613's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday

Not playing this kind of football.

He's not fit to lick Warnock's boots when it comes to rivalry and dislike of pigs managers.
