Hi All , firstly i am not very good at posting but please bear with me , my better half Diane passed away this morning , she was a supporter for the 32 years we have been together i have spent the last 20 or so years as her 24/7 carer , some on here will know about my Di , others won't but i felt it was only fitting for me to post about my better half as through Owlstalk, Where the kindness that was shown to me and to her during Megson's last game as manager and Dave Jones reign gave us both a happiness that we shared for thirty two years by being a part of this great club and later a part of this Forum , thank you for doing just that and making our days a little better god bless to all , RIP my Diane , salt of the earth and always put others first , she was a gem

Over 200 games. Highs and lows. Always gave his all and stuck around this season when others jumped ship. Had his critics, but for a small fee he’s been a good player a good servant for us and wish him nothing but the best. Fastest man in Yorkshire.

Over the past several months(Reason was not on forum at all tbh) I went through a lot of things in my life: Lost my job, lost my house, my daughter had a bad medical issue, etc. To be honest, it was hard a lot of the times to even get out of bed in the morning and face the day. Even my love for this club didn't help me. Granted, nothing to cheer about haha but still. A good friend of mine had cancer as well! Just a lot. Fast forward to now: Have a new job teaching history that I love, daughter is perfectly healthy, new house in a nice neighborhood, and drum roll.... my friend is now cancer free! Storch and company buying our beloved club and the things they are doing already is just icing on the cake. Club means a lot to everyone on here and I am excited about it being a source of pride and happiness for me once again. Life could always be worse gents! Live it the best you can. WAWAW. Ryan

Seems straight forward now… under the last owner retro Shirts we’re a plenty from DH Gate but now we should all put what we can when we can into buying legit merchandise. its your club again… can’t wait to be laid on Bridlington beach in my Umbro speedos flexing like a pumped up kobacki vamos!!!

I must be mad. Just bought my first EVER season ticket. 168 mile round trip, nearly 4,000 miles extra each year on the motor. Well less the 840 miles for the usual 5 matches. Please be worth it!

This time last year you hsd bottled it and fast forward a year to the exact date and im watching my team in Europe for the first time ever in my 54 years on this planet. Im very emotional at how much I love this current group of players . What a 12 months ive had it just shows you've gotta keep the faith Incredible scenes Thanks for being a great set of humble supporters I hope to see you lot sometime soon KTF

Has been updated on the club site.

to all who posted Kind thoughts and wished me well in my Di post i have tried to thank you all individually , so a big thank you again if i missed any of you , as you will never know how much your thoughts and post's kept me going , thank god i had somewhere to go and talk to you owlstalkers that i know and love, god bless you all each and every one ,

Quite overwhelmed to say that myself and my daughter will be for the first time, season ticket holders next season thanks to the unbelievable kindness of a fellow owlstalker who offered to buy us a season ticket. Its my daughters 18th soon and as you know shes had a really tough time but I lost my job so couldn't get her one but now we can share more memories together. I cannot put into words how much this means to us and I hope one day to return the favour. Thank you!

Oh just Fvvck off with yet another one of these threads. Pedersen is the man until Bruce, the Storchs and Costin decide he isn’t. Let’s just leave them to decide.

Aaaaand I’ve been banned

2nd one this week ......for anyone in the disabled section just heard that Pete. Beardsley as passed away .....Pete was a polio victim from the 50s who despite his disability followed the owls all his life and even though he lived in Spain for the the last 20 years kept his season ticket .....my memory of him was 1969 away at Sunderland they wouldn't let him in with his wheelchair so we put that back in the car carried him in and stuck him on the first bar of the floodlight pylon ( unbelievable these days).....and we won 1-2 .......RIP Pete

Doesn't matter whether he's interested or not. And I can't imagine he's given it a second thought. Because it seems pretty clear, that Arise, see Pedersen as our Head Coach for next season. So until that changes, I don't see the value is chucking random names out there as to who might be interested in a job that isn't available. Just serves to create negativity and division.

Dear @swfcfans… best fans in the whole wide world, It’s been a whole 2 weeks ( not 2 months ) since we kicked off our stewardship of this great club. Thanks for your outpouring of support / response to our release of season ticket sales. Credit to David Bruce & co for putting in the thought and designing a fan centric offering. Hopefully you’ve seen work began at Hillsborough, firstly around improving fan safety. Once completed, more to follow… much! Designing plan for training grounds, 1 ) in preparation for upcoming season; 2) with future in mind. Our mission is to give our 1st team and others in our playing family the best in facilities, for proper training and recovery. More to follow! David B & co very focused on building the squad to carry us through next season and beyond… this is our top #1 priority and will receive outsized attention. And even with restrictions placed on us for the next two seasons due to prior owners behavior, , Tom and I have unwavering confidence in David and his football brain trust to make all of us fans proud. We strive to put a great team on the pitch! Even while back in the States, please know our entire focus and energy is squarely on making Sheffield Wednesday the best all around club and fan experience we can. We will continue to strive for excellence in everything we do! We will give it our all… for you! This is your club! David

Sorry its a no from me. Signing a player who is 37 on decent wages is not moving forward for me.

Yes. I'll miss him.

Bit of spare time on my hands this Sunday morning - not something I’ve done in a while due to us being a sh1tshow, but now the tide seems to be turning I wanted to take a look at how badly the Blunts are starting to pap it about our new custodians. Couldn’t get on their S24SU forum as you have to register, but the ‘free’ one has some classic posts on there - you can just feel it creeping in ever so slowly… If anyone has any more - please feel free to dump them in here, we’re only at the start here - can feel this Summer being completely different on both sides of the City, the rage will be growing

Link Help Trevdi Give His Wife Di a Loving Farewell After 32 Years Together Hi everyone, Last week our friend Trevdi, a much-loved regular on owlstalk.co.uk, lost his beloved wife Di after 32 wonderful years together. Di was the absolute love of his life, and her sudden passing has left him heartbroken. Trevdi is a pensioner with very limited income, no savings, and now faces the loss of several benefits that Di received, and as her full time carer. He is desperate to give Di the dignified and respectful send-off she deserves, while also having a small amount of working capital to cover everyday bills in the difficult months ahead. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to Trevdi and help him honour Di’s memory with the love and respect she gave him for over three decades. From all of us who know and care about Trevdi on Owlstalk. Thank you so much for your kindness and support at this incredibly painful time. here is the link - Link

Might just have my next wage packet forwarded straight to the club and cut out the middle man.

Not a bad goals to game ratio

To replace the North Stand roof you mean?

Darren Moore is one of our most disrespected managers in recent times (solely focusing on what he did at Wednesday).

They bought us because they think they have a sleeping giant and the ability to multiply revenues, ultimately making a capital gain from increasing the value substantially compared to their investment.

How refreshing to read updates from people associated with the running of the club and not get an instant sinking feeling of ‘oh god, what now’?

Hold on, how did the rest of you get accounts on here?

@Owlstalk Admin Team please delete this.

Hopefully consensual

Got to love our new owners

Make it stop !

@Safcfaninpeace is a good regular contributor on here and very welcome. And his post is another laugh at Sheffield United, which is always welcome!

No, we were banned.

Carlton Palmer. Loved by us. Ridiculed by others. Vastly under rated.

Alarm bells if the new shirt sponsor is "Storch"

I've always relied on memberships and match day tickets, but I've just bought my first ever season ticket. I'll not make every game, but hopefully I'll make enough to at least get close to breaking even. And if not, at least I've done my bit to back the rebirth. Exciting times!

Feel sorry for the fans. However the club have got what they deserved for cheating.

Eire agree.

"It's not uncommon to look at football clubs and hear someone called either United, City, Town... "We're Wednesday. "And there's a power to Wednesday." ~ David Storch

I'm 78, lifelong Owl but never had a Season Ticket, mainly for geographical reasons . Still living in Buckinghamshire but decided to go for it. Found the process very straightforward. Looking forward to a few trips to my birthplace, and to following the Owls at away games.

Think Sheffield Wednesday is unique enough. I prefer it when team names represent the city they're from. Would be weird if we dropped it.

These 2 are 12 now. Grumpy American girls. But I’m re-creating this photo this summer if I have to bribe them.

Could he do a job in league one? Always rumours he wants off from Hearts. SPL is probably high League One / Low Championship level. He's a decent finisher, unproven in the English game. 34 games 20 goals 6 assists this year. Worth a punt? seems like a decent finisher. Bannan as his Scottish friend for company and as translator. I doubt he's worth €3m now as listed on T'market , that's what Hearts want. Rumoured value is more like 2 million euros. Whatever that means in real money.

Really like him, did a good job here. Yet another who suffered at the hands of our idiot ex owner
