  1. Go for it pal, tha never knows tha might enjoy it
  2. I don't know, why don't you put yourself forward to sit on the Trust Board, volunteer (i.e. do this for free) hours of your spare time trying to plan and implement a long term strategy to get rid of the narcissistic parasite who currently owns the club, and then ask them.
  3. What a fantastic post full of so many memories that I can also mainly remember l (except the bit about you being passed down to the front of the Crows Nest, that would be weird if I could remember that ) It's those kinds of memories that people like have never understood, and never will. We the fans are the heartbeat of this club so we need to continue our collective protests, because they are the ones that will have the greatest impact, in ultimately getting rid of the narcissistic parasite.
  4. I honestly don't think it is (I don't think he knows how to plan) because incredibly we've employed at least 2 additional coaches over recent weeks.
  5. Unfortunately, its been necessary since the Tolpuddle Martyrs in the early 1800s.
  6. The politics section is in another part of the site. In there you'll be able to refer to thousands of examples of similar degrees of cronyism in the 14 years of the previous Conservative government.
  7. Are you gonna tell him or shall I?
  8. Where have you got the idea that the Trust's whole strategy is about defunding cuntsiri, it's certainly a major part of it but not the only part. Another strand has been about raising awareness both locally and nationally about the way he's destroying one of the longest running professional football clubs in the country. Was the march from the Crucible to Hillsborough Park about defunding him? No!! Was the 5 minute delay before fan's entered the stadium at Leicester about defunding him? No!! Was the protest outside the Thai embassy in London about defunding him? No!! Was the march through Hillsborough Park behind a SWFC adorned coffin about defunding him? No!! I'm sure you've got my drift. This is about building up the momentum of the protests in another new way, in front of the Sky camera's for maximum impact. Yes, I accept that he won't have to spend extra money for the additional stewards that he could suddenly find funding for, but what's to stop the threat of pitch invasions being used for other home games this season; absolutely nothing, so nothing lost in that respect.
  9. More evidence, if it was still needed, for the Regulator to pursue and remove the narcissistic man-baby.
  10. The bottom one; non payment of players
  11. When did he say this pal, because as far as I'm aware most players haven't received their end of September pay and most non-playing staff have only received a portion of their expected wage. This would suggest that he hasn't secured such funding.
  12. Yep, we arrange our own minibus to games, and following a WhatsApp group chat this morning, the minibus has been cancelled for the Boro game. That's 8 adults and 1 Junior ST holders not attending the game.
  13. I know what you mean, but look at from a more positive perspective. If those numbers turned out to be true, that's between two-thirds and three-quarters NOT renewing and that's in addition to those who have already taken a similar stance over the past few seasons. Those kinds of numbers would be totally unprecedented for a club the size of Wednesday.
  14. I don't disagree with your points, and I really respect those fans that have already made the decision to boycott, whether that has been for this season or even longer as in your case. I've mentioned previously on here that I reluctantly made the decision to renew my season ticket early in the first phase, and based on the shitshow we've seen since March onwards (I know crap was happening before that, but I don't think even the most enlightened boycotter could have foreseen just how bad things would get) it's a decision I regret. However, I've also said I can't change that decision so I'm not going to beat myself up over it., but I can determine what I'm going to do going forward. People can and should make there own choices, and I'll respect whatever choices they make even if personally I don't agree with them. Some people, and maybe I include myself in this, worry that their individual choice will have little impact in isolation and therefore will be more inclined to take specific actions if part of a coordinated and concerted drive. Sorry for my ramblings, I'm just trying to make what sense I can out of what's recently been happening to our club, and maybe put a slightly different perspective so we can all understand each other better. After all, we all want the same thing at the end of the day.
  15. IMO the Trust have manged the protests brilliantly so far, they've built them up, consolidated support and then added to them piece by piece, thereby building momentum on the way. Some people have been calling for total boycotts of everything, but for many people that's a step too far. We've got to the stage now where they are calling for a boycott of a home game. Let's see how successful that is. I know Owlstalk isn't fully representative of the wider Wednesday fanbase, but initial reactions on here are really positive, so I'm hopeful that we'll see a massive reduction in home attendees for the game. If successful, consolidate further and build again. That's the stage to take the next step and call for a boycott of an away game; then reflect and consider next steps. The Trust have said all along that this won't be a quick fix, so they've developed a strategy accordingly, whilst so far taking the majority along with them. To go in all guns blazing at the beginning would IMO have veen counter-productive and could have alienated more fabs than encouraged. We need to trust them to continue to implement that strategy whilst continuing to build wider support within the fanbase. That's the only way we'll get rid of this cowardly narcissistic parasite.
