  1. 44 years an Owl……
  2. Quality goal from the 2 youngsters
  3. 1st home league game was 21,683 v Stoke Will probably be around that figure today, Stoke brought about 2,300, not sure Preston will have as many
  4. Any prospective new owner has to have a plan that involves Premier League football Whether or not we believe this is realistically possible in the near future (or if some fans really arent fussed about it), this has to be the goal Imagine the first press conference and our new owners says ‘We’re here to make Sheffield Wednesday the best mid table championship team within 5 years’ We’d probably he happy with this as we sit here today but we expect to have a bit more ambition
  5. Deal done, a £50m bid, split between several brown envelopes
  6. Let’s be honest this season was a write off before a ball was kicked. The points deduction was the final nail in the coffin Any high points this season were going to come from a performance against our neighbours and showing some fighting spirit from our meagre squad Unfortunately one of those opportunities went sadly begging yesterday
  7. Have a few beers on a Saturday night and go online and buy a ticket !
  8. But would they really want to waste the last of their benefits ?
  9. I remember the chant ‘The Wednesday hate George Courtney’
  10. Hundred years, hundred years Sheff United Hundred years, hundred years I say Hundred years, hundred years Sheff United Since you last won on cup final day
  11. Bring back the football special from the Bus station !
  12. In our current situation ticket sales are amazing if we get down to a few hundred off a sell out Game is live on ITV Sunday lunchtime, bottom of the table on minus points, no home win all season etc Just looked at the 1-0 win in 2008, Steve Watson winner and the crowd was 30,441 with pigs in the bottom tier of West Stand so home tickets must have been around 26k?
  13. No chicken and chips except in Grandstand Recycled black shorts for Blackburn away - who on earth came up with 3 kits that clash with blue and white ??
  14. £20 a game for members on the North A cracking deal !
  15. It takes the staff a bit longer to count the takings these days
  16. I spoke to a staff member just before administration and they said Bannan had been absolutely brilliant with all the staff during these difficult months In their words they wished he was HR manager Absolute club legend
  17. This is a more viable idea that a monthly subscription - given the clubs own track record of paying its own debts, I doubt it wants to get into money lending! As a Foundation member they send out vouchers for the discounted games each season to be redeemed in advance. Dont see why this couldnt work for a package of other games - as you say £100 for 4 specified games. And a good cashflow boost for the club if the games are staggered throughout the season
  18. Great effort. Reminds me of the songs in the 80’s, We are the Owls, We love you Wednesday etc Are the full lyrics available anywhere?
  19. I’ve been on there a couple of times, view was excellent although I was right behind the goal in front of the tunnel I think with the restrictions, we only release seats either side of the 2 pillars so you’d be unlucky to stuck behind one
