  1. It’s come with the challenge of having to completely reshape an evening that was originally planned for discussions around the next stages of boycott and protest. With short notice, the trust has worked hard to turn it into something positive, all while juggling full-time work and family life.
  2. Honestly, it stings seeing a few go after the Trust over a potential away boycott, that’s only just become a talking point. The amount of unseen work and thought that goes into every decision is so often underestimated. Each step is discussed, debated and timed carefully. It’s a thankless task most of the time — and I get that people are frustrated — but everything is done with one aim: genuine, lasting change at Sheffield Wednesday Boycotts can’t just be switched on overnight. They have to be built properly, bit by bit, with everyone on side. Without that unity and timing, they lose their impact For what it’s worth, I’ve had to beg and borrow already-purchased away tickets just to get in some games — usually to lug banners, scarves and balloons around — because I don’t always have the TPP. Anyone choosing to boycott — on any level — deserves huge respect. It’s a massive personal sacrifice, and it’s never something asked lightly. If the Trust call for it, it’s because they truly believe it’s absolutely necessary for the future of our club. It’s certainly a debate that needs to be had but it’s very much in its early stages.
  3. Because the shirts are drop shipped by a huge merchandise company. The scarves are purchased by the trust directly to keep the costs extremely low (slight loss). The logistics to sell them online are extremely difficult. At least in the short term the best way would be to get a friend/family member to purchase and post one on your behalf.
  4. They’ll be plenty at the next two fixtures and whilst ever there is demand.
  5. Yeh they’re pretty good

  8. Cover the back and the bit you sit on just before you leave the ground. The south will photograph it, it will be huge. We have to back it.
  9. Can I just say? Get a bin bag if you’re in the north (kind folk will even give you one outside the ground) and put it over your seat. Blue, black, orange, irrelevant. If enough do this, all over the stand it will no longer spell Chansiri. We put far too much effort into questioning the efforts of others and nowhere near enough into protesting. Doesn’t matter how ridiculous the protest, if everyone does it, it works and sends a message. if 18,000 turned up in the niff, it would be the most talked about protest in football history but if 5 did it, their next job interview would be awkward. Get behind people spending endless hours trying to come up with, and organise stuff.
  10. Why thank you open to suggestions for designs. We could run a black and gold tee comp…..
