  1. This, absolutely get the bigger picture and I am sure there will be a boost, when we get new owners, although expectations/hopes may have ran away with some and if its not a multi billionaire some maybe disappointed. But we have a minimum of 30 games left, some more points, would help, whilst understanding the limits of the team, but for them the best who in the main and putting a shift in most games.
  2. I think he would be decent in lge 1
  3. Got to agree, we can all accept a defeat, there have been plenty already and likely plenty more for the remainder of the season but for most of those defeats or even the draws we have been organised and competed admirably, which has been great credit to the team but yesterday was a shock to the system, we did nt turn up and our rivals completely dominated the game and it could have been a worse result if they had taken the chances at the end. I imagine for most its not the defeat itself, which is of course going to sting far more than any other but the manner of that defeat.
  4. Surreal how it ended so quickly in the end, still can t really believe it, thought he would cling on and on but the fans did their bit and were a crucial part of the change UTO
  5. Great offers, what fans have been asking for, for a long time ….. get buying Owls
  6. Both great goals but FF for me
  7. Appreciate the Pigs are a different kettle of fish but Grimsby were given an initial allocation of 4,069. so we somehow found an extra 300 or so tickets
  8. Do we give the Pigs as many as possible in the upper west, for the extra cash or limit them to the usual c. 2.200ish
  9. I thought with the timeframe it was pretty good, 9k sold in 24 hrs Does anyone know what the potential home availability is per game. Appreciate we have nt got a definitive figure for season tickets but looks like its c.16k
  10. Could they have spelt ‘OWLS’ or something with the white ones, probably much more hassle, just glad his presence is being removed
  11. Much better than I had hoped and great we can come together to make the point
  12. This If people can t see the link between their pint and pie (which is a bit strange, particularly when you have a black & gold scarf on) handing over £500+ has to resonate. I agree that we all have a choice and people don t want to be told what to do, but look at the facts, several million pounds coming in will aid the owner to clink on and continue to destroy the club. This is our biggest weapon and we have to use it. As said the Trust need to be pushing this out from now.
  13. Cant say I heard much booing, heard plenty of cheers and applause
  14. especially if he gives them 4k tickets
  15. Got to agree, if you want to build up your points these are the opportunities. Probably more chance this season with how things look like they are going. So
  16. Interesting that Grimsby have been given an allocation of 4,069, which is more than the usual maximum, again trying to cover the lack of home fans.
  17. We have got to avoid falling for that. ST renewals is our best and biggest chance to really hit him hard
  18. I had seen this earlier when I was on the ticket website, that there are 3 home league games on sale which is unusual, normally we have one at a time. A guy on football heaven highlighted it too and hopefully it means DC is getting more desperate for cash. How early will the early bird ST be out …. Enough is Enough
  19. I think they could bring 3k+
  20. It would be helpful if a list of the various groups could be shared, so we know who is part of the wider umbrella group and who remains separate. Appreciate some groups may feel ‘their’ interests are best served with a single focus but the bigger picture has to be ‘our’ collective effort against the regime.
  21. The pigs look in a bit of turmoil at the start of the season hopefully that will continue for them to keep the score down …..
  22. By no means an expert and not advocating it but if you watch some of those annoying ‘auditors’ who fly drones all over the place, they seem to get them over what might be seen as sensitive sites and private companies. Not sure if football grounds are protected but as others have said there are exclusion zones which prevent flying over sone places, which the ‘auditors’ seem to be able to view easily to check an areas fly status,
  23. To be honest it does me too and checking in with the Blackpool fans did shift some of my thinking about accepting that you will never convince some to stop funding the owner and so use that energy with those who want and are prepared to be part of the ‘fight’
  24. I know there was plenty of writing on the walls for a number of years with how DC operated but the complete collapse over the last 3/4 has been a real shock. We had a sniff of the play offs in Jan and even when we did nt buy it felt like just another missed opportunity. When I listened to the Trust meeting, where they laid out the finances it was clear to see we had been on borrowed time for quite a while but despite that we had 3 of my greatest Wednesday experiences in my nearly 50 years of watching us, over the last few years, the play offs v Peterborough & Dingles and the ‘run in’ to us surviving the following year, with the last 3 away wins at Blackburn, QPR and Sunderland being amazing to be part of. These were achieved in spite of DC not because of him and what stands out in those games are the fans, the togetherness, which makes football special and seeing where we are now with the splits emerging and reading the comments from Blackpool fans about how it went for them we are heading for a rough ride as a fanbase.
