JeffOwl

£2,500 a week. Not huge in football terms. We've got players on the bench earning more than that. Although I bet he'll get paid on time every month!

Sadly only been watching matches on tv this season but Brown does look to have a bit of something extra about him for his age. I think 'what happened to Ugbo?' Might go down in Wednesday history as an unanswered mystery. Bit like watching Jeffers and thinking this guy has an England cap?

He could argue that but I cant see how any regulator would look at the last ten years and take it as a serious possibility. I also get the impression from the little bits of quotes I've read that the regulator will consider Wednesday as historically at least a championship size club and will reasonable expect the owner to show funds in line with this status. I dont think DC saying if you'll just let me relegate them twice I can try my best to afford to run a league 2 side. That would be seen as a similar failure to letting SWFC go under, which they've already said one of their aims is to stop by introducing trustees to step in.

Been going to my nearest team Silsden AFC, just been promoted to NPL D1 East this season. Great little ground with two bars to choose from. Think Emley and Hallam fixtures coming up shortly.

Agree, it does seem more than a bit unfair on Blackburn.

O yes, read the rules now! Thought games always seemed to be replayed from memory. I suppose Ipswich would argue they still had 11mins plus stoppage time to get a goal and gain a point. If it had been 3v0 or even 2v0 might have said result stands.

Has that not always been the rule for an abandoned match?

The celebration and relief at holding on for a win today was so unexpected it makes it all the sweeter. With the feeling of the last half an hour, it makes me realise how much I've missed it and just what Chansiri has taken away with the misery and uncertainty of the last three months and longer. Really hope he cant cling on much longer

Wow. Have missed this feeling! Didnt expect it at all this season. Fantastic effort from the lads today

Having just watched the bbc documentary it seems like the football quality's secondary to the money making for those running the game.

I thought that watching on TV too, the lack of atmosphere seemed to feed into Leeds lack of urgency especially first half. Seemed to really affect the Leeds fans as well. After 10 mins of only Leeds chants I thought I'm going to have to turn the sound off. But with virtually no chanting in reply from home fans they just seemed to run out of enthusiasm as well and seemed a bit bemused by it all.

Three great penalties and two great saves. Have to be honest wasn't expecting that result tonight. Also kind of Leeds to miss the first 3 penalties so none of the young lads had to take a penalty

A fantastic achievement considering a boycott has only been talked about for the first three weeks of the season. The message will spread. I'd bet some of those that went tonight did so as they secretly expected loads of others to go as well and the south stand to be full. Now they know a majority are taking it seriously and that it will be widely reported in the news as a success they're more likely to join in. They need encouragement and persuasion not name calling.

I think the crowd number announced won't make a difference. Ultimately it will be a Yorkshire derby live on tv with two empty stands for sky to talk about. There's no way the club can spin that positively.

Even at -25% they'd still be expensive if league 1 football is nailed on by then. Agree it would make a large number of ST holders rethink though. The other thing given DCs ticket price history is I cant see him offering fans anything. More likely to put the price up to compensate for reduced numbers.

We can only dream, maybe we'll get lucky next time. The sad and frustrating thing is surely its common sense and yet so few club owners seem able to grasp it.

Who's responsible for the VAT, Leicester or is it split?

I think people still holding onto a bit of hope being the first home game of the season and with a decent performance at Leicester and draw at Bolton. A few more repeats of Stoke and being so uncompetitive will change that. Over the years we've had many sack the board chants at various times but they never seem as prolonged or angry as when its aimed at the team being really poor on the pitch.

Obviously no one wants to lose any match. But a run of crap results on the pitch will be the most significant impact on making a large number of season ticket holders notice. Those who say going to support the team aren't so supportive 10 games into a Xisco style start to the season. At that point even they have to start asking why are we so poor on the pitch. (I know it should be obvious why already, but it seems not to a lot still at the moment)

I wont be going for the Leeds game but have to accept a lot of fans still will. Agree with Daz a totally empty home end would make a big statement, so why not boycott the North stand? It's seen on tv and got chansiri spread across the sky cameras as the problem. In my opinion the Trust statement could have said, we'd like all fans to boycott Leeds, but if you are going please keep to Kop or South. A totally empty North stand also gives journalists an excuse to keep the story of DCs lack of investment and the questions over safety certificate in the spotlight.

My point is its unrealistic to expect to go from 19000 home fans today to 0 home fans next time. There's too many fans either unwilling to join in a full boycott or genuinely unaware its planned at the moment. I think its got to be a gradual decline as word spreads and you get more fans to agree. Three or four more 3v0 home defeats in a row will also quickly cut down the small number of POTG tickets sold to people unwilling to join in as well.

As far as I'm concerned any protest that makes ITV, sky etc report on it like today's is a success if it keeps on publicising the need for new ownership. Judging by people's comments there's still some fans unaware or unwilling to accept how bad the situation is. Ongoing publicity can only help spread the word. The way to get the message across will be repeated protest over a sustained period, like it took reading and Blackpool. The aim has to be to make it onto SSN and the BBC championship commentry every weekend. People hoping that a huge event at one game is going to force DC into taking note or sell up are I think going to be disappointed.

I'd guess the media team will only put out what DC wants to say this summer, and at the moment it appears he doesn't want to say anything. Or (unusally) even he realises he's currently got nothing remotely like good news to say. Or hopefully maybe simply cant at the moment due NDAs. On Danny I think he'd be best off sticking to on field talk in interviews, which I'm sure he will. His face often gives his feelings away tho.

Had Chansiri capitalised on the things you mention and run the club to even half of its potential then maybe he'd be nearer his asking price? As it is....

I think this seems like a strong possibility at the moment, in that situation it looks like were could still be a long way from bottoming out yet. My only hope is this would credit DC with some kind of forward planning, which I'm not sure he's capable of. It just feels as if hes more desperate to cut costs wherever possible and sell players for whatevers offered to cover the immediate funding problems and keep the lights on long enough to start the season. Hopefully by that point i really hope there's a sale on the horizon.
