  1. Great that the club is being transparent and that the Grandstand is still having chicken and chips. I do have a really important question for @Kris Wigfield. What's happened to the lovely sausage rolls what were up there until a few games ago. Haven't had one all season because of the boycott and have been replaced with sub par ones. I presume we're on stop with the supplier? If so get it sorted, we won't our sausage rolls back. !!!!! On a more serious note, how about some pop up shops selling shirts outside the south, in the Grandstand concourse and outside the kop. Wrexham did it when we played them at their place this year. Couple of staff with a POS and a big box with different sizes of shirts in them. Not everyone has the time to visit the Megastore before or after the game. Just a thought.
  2. They need to have pop up shops outside th south, kop etc just selling replica shirts.
  3. The first 10 rows of the Grandstand give great views, the further back you go, the more the roof gets in your eyeline. On the back row the view of the North is limited as the roof overhang is quite low if the ball is in the air, you may not see it. The number of steps up there can be a problem if you have a dodgy knee, or just mega unfit. This is a back row view.
  4. It was well attended and must admit I had a lump in my throat when there was a rendetition of " Wednesday we love you".
  5. Wouldn't surprise me if he puts them on sale early (October / November) and the club then says that after the first couple of phases, seats will be released. So rather than July time, seats released in December.
  6. I think that the clubs response is quite petty, but I personally welcome all facial recognition technology in society and in our ground, especially after some of the incidents at our ground. If it stops people with banning orders coming into grounds, then great. If it stops the black market trade of stolen goods through shop lifting gangs then great. If it helps track down missing kids or people then great. Some shops currently have and use this technology and I bet it doesn't stop people going into them. Sorry went off topic.
  7. And that includes people who are boycotting the game.
  8. Have they got bottom of the North as the allocation is 4k, not been on here all weekend, so forgive me if it's been mentioned, Pope n all.
  9. Intend to boycott 2 home fixtures is a big difference to a successful boycott where no West Ham fans turn up. Could be all mouth and only 2k don't turn up. Wednesday vs Leeds was very successful and let's face it no boycott is ever going to be 100%. People need to focus on the 20k plus owls who didn't turn against Leeds and the thousands who won't turn up against Grimsby.
  10. Even with loans we were still going down. This season is about one thing and one thing only. Getting rid of him. (not even going to name him). That is the most important thing this season.
  11. Completely agree with everything you have said. He has no intention of selling and I fully expect him to be here this time next year. The problem is that Chansiri is showing all the signs of NPD. My mother in law has it and it's been quite easy for me to not give her the power by not having anything to do with her. If it was my own mother, that's much harder to deal with. However, Chansiri owns a company and that's even harder as we can't escape him and makes him very dangerous as we are discovering. We need to keep up the pressure on him, by not purchasing tickets, and not a pound in ground or shop and no renewals in December. But we also need to stop talking about him. Take the power off him.
  12. Completely agree. We are unknowingly giving power to Chansiri by being angry and calling him a pillock (even though he is) The best way to deal with someone like him, is to ignore him. Very hard as he is trying to destroy the club, but just ignore him. He isn't worth it. Don't give him the satisfaction he needs and craves. Keep on defunding him, but don't raise to his bait. He loves it and gets off on it. Don't feed the troll. Never forget that in one form or another, there will always be a Wednesday.
  13. Certainly helps when the Welsh government give them a grant of £17m to help fund their new kop.
  14. It's like that scene in the film Bridesmaids..
  15. Sadly I think your nieces fella is right. He is a wounded animal just lashing out. He commented about the "disrespect" shown to his family and I personally think this is all getting revenge on us.
  16. My wife said to me months ago that Chansiri is just doing what he is doing to be vindictive. To hurt us. To get revenge for us protesting against him and for the abuse his immediate family has received. I didn't agree, and just thought he was a clueless businessman, but you know what, after hearing what Ross Wallace said yesterday, maybe she is right. Maybe he is just being a tail out of sheer spite. An injured animal after all is more prone to going on the attack. If that's the case and he isn't bothered about the money side of things, then we are in a pickle. If this is all for revenge and getting a kick out of seeing how much pain we are in, then there will only be one winner. I think it's going to get a lot lot worse.
  17. Revenge. The man is vindictive and I am more and more coming round to the idea this is all because we said some hurty songs about him and don't want him here.
  18. Everyone else finger points, so why not me.
  19. So where was the pitch invasion then? Some of the talk this week has been about going on. Where was it. And no, before anyone mentions it, I have no intention of going on the pitch, just asking about those who said they were going on.
  20. Or people buying an ifollow pass. The majority of money from that goes to the club
  21. Completely agree. It's really sad. However, it's not just us as a fan base. I have seen this in quite a few scenarios. One example. I used to have a Merlin annual pass. Had one for about 10 years. After about the sixth year, the terms and conditions were change, or the price would go up, or exclusion dates added, or free parking removed making the pass worse value. There was absolute carnage on the Facebook page with people saying not going to renew blah blah blah. Merlin would slightly tweak the annual pass, still getting what they wanted, ie more profit, but it calmed everyone down. 12months later, the same thing would happen and rinse and repeat. It got to the point where I didn't renew and haven't been to a Merlin attraction for 6years, but still the yearly outrage continues, people say they won't renew, but ultimately they do. Its the same scenario with us, but now we are at that point with Wednesday that our family won't renew if he is still here. We did it with Merlin and will do it with Wednesday. It's hard to walk away from something you care about, but there comes a point when enough is enough. Maybe it's a UK thing or society in general. Moan a bit, say you are going to do something, but ultimately carry on. Quite strange.
  22. Flying lizards - Money Erasure - Love to hate you Tate McRae - Don't Come back
  23. So people should just go heads in and do what people tell them to do without finding out the real facts. You mean like the brexit vote then? Jeez.
  24. Yeah, it's a tricky question. I want them to continue putting pressure on, so don't want them to walk away, but don't want the pointless closed format current meeting. Also, if the trust withdraw, what happens if others stay and have the meetings, nodding along? Not a simple yes or no for me and like bigrbuk says, needs to be another option.
  25. Someone who puts a realistic structure into the club and is open and honest about what the plan is.
