"IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIX OR SEVEN...!!" Mate, you outperformed your xG by 1.2 and had the second fewest shots of all the league games we've played this season, only bettering Bristol City, who also beat us 3-0 at Hillsborough. There was nothing exceptional about what United did to us, we're just not a very good team.

Amass is playing like he's been a Wednesdayite all his life and he hates United. Loving his game so far.

I think the transfer ban will do us good in the long run. Get some new owners in and have them focus on the infrastructure, without any sort of conflict on whether to invest in The Club or invest in the playing squad (because investment in the playing squad is restricted by the sanctions). Sort The Club out - top notch training facilities, top notch dieticians, top notch physiotherapy facilities, top notch academy, top notch stadium facilities, etc... and the players will come in the future without having to be paid a kings ransom to play for Sheffield Wednesday. I think they're all things that could be done whilst we served the transfer ban / sanctions?

That's it for this decade, nobody gets a drink out of me now until 2030 at the earliest.

I was in there last night. It still smelled new. It's at least three miles to the toilet and a round of five drinks cost £35, but on the other hand you could hear yourself speak and even though it's very big it felt quite cosy. 7/10

I'm sure this has already been said in the previous 71 pages but tickets still £41 on the South. #AdministratorsOut

Sent a good message last night, but again people need to get off the back of their fellow supporters who attended. You'll never get full boycott and as others have said people have reasons, however much you might disagree with them. It actually sends a good, solidifying message if the few in attendance can be seen to be wearing black and gold - it would have been very easy to paint a narrative of a picture of empty seats being selective cropping whereas if the few pictures of actual clusters of attendees predominantly shows black and gold that just underlines the message. Zoom out and the message is an empty ground; Zoom in and the message is disgruntled attendees wearing black and gold. Job done.

I've always been vehemently anti-pitch invasion - they're illegal and they serve no purpose other than to allow someone to say they stood on a piece of grass just because they wanted to - but yesterday's I'm prepared to change my stance on. Unfortunately, the abuse and potential imminent death of a football club isn't considered an emergency in law, so doesn't excuse an invasion, however those prepared to risk a potential criminal record for the greater good of everyone who cares about the club should be applauded.

We shouldn't assume anything; if the number in the "ignorance" camp is 50... The other 3,950 may attend again.

I think anyone who turned up in full knowledge of the boycott is of questionable morals / judgment, but as I've said on another thread not everyone knows about these things, regardless of how well they are communicated. It's beyond debate that some people there on Tuesday won't have known about the boycott, the amount could have been 1, 10, 100, 1000 but there will have been a number amidst the crowd in that camp. As others have said, the boycott was a raging success given total boycott wasn't ever really realistic. In terms of the atmosphere, Tuesday night was probably akin to what it would have been if there were 30,000 of me crammed into the home stands. I'm as introvert as they come. I turn up and I clap in all the right places and cheer goals, but that's all I do, because that's my personality type. I display the conduct of a snooker fan attending a football match but that doesn't make me any less of a supporter than someone who chants for 90+ minutes, I just internalise things that other people externalise. I think there's probably a decent overlap in terms of introverts and people who don't get to hear about things like boycotts, so it would stack up that the crowd was comprised of more introverts than extroverts which led to a quiet atmosphere. Obviously all just opinion and conjecture but that's my thoughts on it.

How do you not know neutral vloggers sometimes attend Wednesday matches? Do you live in a cave?

Not true, I just don't agree with the broad brush tarring of all, across any walk of life. For example, I would hope there were a few neutral vloggers amongst the attendees, reporting to their followers and maybe widening the knowledge and exposure of the shìtshow, whether to 5 followers or 5,000. Would their attendance be a good or a bad thing?

And there are people that know nothing about the supporters group. They get the same news as the general population and may attend a game without knowing of a boycott.

PS Steve is the WhatsApp chat guy, the colleague of 24 years has taken off tell of being chased by, and indeed chasing, opposing team fans around the streets of Hillsborough. He's not that guy anymore and it's hard to imagine he every was, maybe he wasn't, but he's 100% a Wednesday fan (or a very good actor)
