  1. I'd never looked at it like that , and now I'm never goiong to unsee it ! It can land in the rubble when the new owners knock down this stand for good !
  2. For what it's worth, I think this is an excellent peice of work, and I 100% agree with idea of keeping both bagdes, the tradditional badge for the stadium and South stand etc. becuase it's as engrained in our history as much as blue and white stripes, probably more so than the 70's badge, but then keep the 70's badge for the shirts and everything else. I'm not sure the changes being suggested to the 70's owl work though. Removing the gaps and curves to the beak and back makes it look less active and a bit fat !... so keep both as has been suggested and don't change owt' !
  3. Not having that, I call AI. No matter how poor we are, we wouldnt do a job as shoddy as that.. and there's no way the H&S procedure has passsed go for that method either !
  4. Brilliant thread and 100% agree ! Also, all those people that went on the forums and the radio saying 'the protests won't work', 'he's not there and can't see them' and 'defunding him won't work and we're only punishing the club'.... it absolutley did work and now you have the evidence ! @Ian bennett... A couple of suggestions when the dust settles and we're in discussions with the new owners... I think all new shirt designs should have the Wednesday Trust badge on the back above the WAWAW. I also think that everyone who buys or renews a season ticket or Membership they should automatically be enroled in the trust with the £10 fee added on to the purchase total, but then you're given the option to remove it before payment so it remains democratic. Like a donor card where the default is in but you can opt out (not that you should). That would swell membership again and I don't think many would object, but if they do they can easily opt' out. If the club bought in to that it would also show unison with the Trust going forward.
  5. Not really. He's got more baggage than Mary Poppins and and he wheels and deals more than Del Boy... and we just don't want or desrve all that after all we've been through. Hopefully theres something a lot better on the horizon
  6. Because the bid that adds up to $550 is in dollars and the coversion is to £400m... but it's really £150m with a share offer on top.
  7. Textor bid for Wolves This article today regarding the bid and all of Textors dealings, should be all the red flags we need to see. No way with all that baggage does Textor pass the fit and proper person test from the EFL, the Regulator or our admistrators, and it would take months to get through all of that and get a deal over the line !
  8. It's a $200m offer in cash plus $340 in shares according some reports and it's been rejected ! This is exactly why I beleive we need to avoid Textor like the plague. He wants his multi club model so he can juggle players and cash between them all, which is the exact opposite of what all the governing bodies want. There is plenty of smoke warings out there between Crystal Palace and the clubs in Brazil and France. We need owner thats devoted to our cause alone.
  9. The 'I' letters will be quicker but 'S''s will be a ***** !
  10. It should be like the liberation of France in WWII, where all DC collaborators are dragged out in to the centre circle at half time to have thier head shaved !
  11. I've bought a ticket on the kop for tomorrows game. First game back for a long time. I'm going to be a mess !!!
  12. I've lodged a complaint to the BBC... As you are no doubt aware, there is currently considerable turmoil at Sheffield Wednesday FC, and supporters, MP's and many others alike are doing all they can to put an end to the current disasterous ownership regime and ensure the survival of this historic founding football club. The SWFC Trust organised a boycott of last nights game against Middlesborough so the impact could be seen and felt on the live broadcast on Sky TV, and this was a resounding success resulting in a very empty stadium (there are plenty of images on line if you care to look). I noticed that your BBC Sport web site and the report on this game did not quote the official attendance in the normal way when the game was finished, but instead provided a figure of 21,578 at lunch time today. This is very clearly incorrect and it undermines the efforts of all those involved in last nights protest. I don't know if the attendance figure you've now reported has been provided to you by the club or if someone at the BBC has inputted it incorrectly, but as it currently stands it represents mis-information and is somewhat offensive to all those involved in the current efforts and struggles, and I would ask that you seek to addresss this as soon as possible by establishing and reporting the correct attendance. I would also suggest, and it would also be of some help, if you ran a feature on the impact of the boycott last night, as there are lots of images available.
  13. Always winds me up when one of our own go down 'injured' during extra time. It doesn't help because the ref' extends the time anyway and the other team gets a rest and re-grouos so they can come at you again, and usually, as Birmingham did last night, the other team scores. Just play the extra minutes and get off the pitch. Peterborough did it against us in the miracle and Palmer scored, Palmer goes down last night and Birmingham score !
  14. It goes hand in hand with these graphs, but I've always said that the teams with the worst negative goal difference are nearly always the ones that end up in the bottom three. Equally those with the best postive goal difference get promoted. You start reducing your negative goal difference and lifting above the otheres, your blue bars will go up !
  15. No we shouldn't. If we buy tickets (and shirts etc.) he might have enough money to keep running the club on a shoe string from month to month, surprising staff and players with and without a pay packet each month, and without adding investment to any other part of the club. If you buy a ticket you're buying into his hand to mouth regime which is unsustainable !
