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.

Agreed, I'm the guilty one. Apologies.

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.

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.

They’ll be plenty at the next two fixtures and whilst ever there is demand.

Yeh they’re pretty good

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.

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.

Why thank you open to suggestions for designs. We could run a black and gold tee comp…..

As the players enter the field of play. Someone genuinely asked me how will you inflate 10,000 balloons? I’m hoping there are 40,000 home lungs available.

It’s double sided

Could I put on a bit of a personal plea for help? I’ve done leaflets distribution at the match (or been involved in it) on a few occasions now. It takes a ridiculous amount of organising. This time more so than ever. This is the best uptake I’ve ever seen and will provide images the press can use nationwide and hopefully in Thailand. Will it make him sell the club - certainly not. Could it potentially chip away at him added to every single protest to date in the back of his mind? We’ll never know. What I do know is if a protest flops it strengthens his arm, it makes him feel he might just be doing ok. Everyone needs to show him at very least that enough is enough. I'm going to give up time between now and then trying to help make that a success as a small part, of a much bigger team, one bigger than we’ve seen before in terms of volunteers. We still need more to make this huge. If anyone has ever criticised the weak showing on previous protests, please consider dropping the Trust a line, or myself on DM to help ensure this one can’t be ignored. I’d really appreciate it.

Yes with the leaflets.

As the players enter the field. 10k I’ve heard

I think they’ll be many updates and further info coming guys. Hard to clarify everything in one go. They’ll be a map for the march etc.

It’s not too much to ask but it probably/definitely isn’t the case.

It’s the most Chansiri move ever this. Release a statement with a half arsed apology stating you will call an emergency meeting. Pretend to engage with a load of people who aren’t allowed to say what they’ve heard. Ensure they agree to terms of reference (almost like an NDA). Profess to work on trust whilst exploiting the fact they almost have to be secretive with their fellow supporters. Act like an overbearing child for 7 hours, then more than likely release an A4 page of minutes, carefully omitting any head loss moments. Another week passes, nothing changes.
