Just an update Ricky fought to the very end when he was taking off life support. He’s only just passed away tonight it early as we all thought. Thats from his family.

Yep he was there was in pub with him.

It’s knocked me this news - known the lad for 30 plus years. Knew he’d had a an accident at weekend and knew it weren’t good but being told today of the news and am upset. He was no angel, he was a bloody nuisance but he was our nuisance. I’ve been speaking to mates all evening about him and we’re all rocked. I have 100’s of memories good bad and some just bloody hilarious! He’d of been in his element tomorrow night out on the streets. Many ways he lived for Wednesday. Lots are convinced he coined the WAWAW saying Not often you’d say this about Ricky but I were fortunate to bump into him Saturday ! Just a shame I’ll never see him again - he was a good if annoying mate to more than just me! RIP 🇯🇲🦉

And the latest post by the 1867 proves their focus is on themselves and not the club! They are gutted the accounts are not worse! Refuse to recognised DC is turning the club around from ground up - they are just so entitled and expect a profitable club whilst paying the cheapest match tickets in football! Also as we are a deadline club for accounts can’t help but think DC got these out a day b4 the next protest on purpose!

Yep that was my point, poorly made. Basically it was a smaller away following then most games and our extra home support witnessed us just above the average - I estimated 3k based on 22k season ticket holder - 1k Bristol and the difference being those taking advantage of the deduction. When Watford pitched up with about 500 attendance was something like 22,600 and there were plenty missing from our season ticket base but they count season ticket regardless now.

Any chance of us getting 4K at Sunderland you reckon?

But he didn’t back Danny!! We didn’t get a striker in the January window and we left it too late to get one in! He’s never backed Rohl that’s why he’ll walk .. oh that and his full former Red bull management team which of course was the invisible investors from red bull doing! And ticket prices are too much - but a drop yesterday witnessed only an extra 3k turn up with us slightly above the season average

Great result for us! Pol is really shinning now and the recent news focus he’s had explains why time is required when picking up foreign players. One thing to add I thought it was obvious Bannan had a bit of reservation about his play today - he was clearly playing with the knowledge one more yellow knocked him out of the next game! We need Bazza for the next 2 games without a shadow of doubt. I’ve rightly or wrongly baked in a loss against Leeds in my head and am praying for maximum points in the next 2!

I’d tend to agree that the facts of D.C. ownership have been so misconstrued in recent times and such a frenzy has been reached it’s hard to apply rational thought over what has happened! I agree with the Brexit hill debate hint if am honest. I have settled happily with rationale that the successes of “smaller clubs” have in part come about due to lesser pressure from pent up expectation whilst the success of “larger clubs” have come about due to significant funds spent on a gamble that paid off! I 100% know D.C. has made big mistakes - I’ve settled on 3 .. a) not selling players b) cocking up the sale of the ground c) the stupid outburst this season re 2 million The rest have been run of mill management of the club errors some by our own making some by others. The worst falsehood is the idea that the North as the owners name because he’s arrogant (he maybe) but it was done to justify extra investment just like D Taxi!

Looking at the tweet 37 million pre Chansiri losses and a 24 million chunk linked to Covid years?

Seriously you going back 9 years and think we were building year on year? You’ve proved my earlier point. DC inherited a club with empty coffers and sadly for us FFP came into play just when we needed to spend big! The Orlando player as per the athletic article was sat in Sheffield and Blackburn won it because in part a range of stats were presented to him about chances created alongside the fact Blackburn were higher in the league. I have heard the rumours and it such examples that warp the anti Chansiri mob - I.e. like after the Barnsley defeat!

They are all scrambling for credit now.

And there you go! Your expectation of the owner is spend big if not go! Loan players make more financial sense for a club teetering on the edge! We have a few out contract that allows a rebuild and restructure on relegation. Ugbo, the striker we signed right at the start of window and then complained we had done bothering despite also securing a keeper right at the front! In one the slowest window yet seen where clubs are looking at FFP RULES and hunkering down? Ugbo as gone to club where we have 3 fellow French players in making him probably a far happier player. Our head of recruitment knew him from his Cardiff days. The player we went to get was a long term investment from Orlando not an immediate fix. We’ve signed 3 players this year who could allow us to cash in for a few million. The first half the year two those players were deemed awful by the anti Chansiri mob. We are slowly adjusting things do not happen overnight unless bought by a Saudi esk cash - and even then the rules mean it could be boom and bust again if your not lucky.

If we stay up it will be huge for the club and our short term future. The protest was fine last night - but ultimately we need to be sold for their demands to be achieved. Those who are not pro Chansiri or anti Chansiri appreciate this fact and the realities of this fact - I find a real mix in the anti Chansiri mob, openly racist, nationalistic, ignorant of the history of the last 9 years and then they are some who expectations of success are measured.

I don’t disagree by over 10,000 renewals and Pay Pal are happy to underwrite, us no mean feet. I suspect in absence of survival we will probably get 14k season ticket holders now. On the Coventry thing though they are where we were in the first 2 years of DC .. They recently hovered lower mid table in championship until last season push into playoffs - fuelled by quality players who they sold for 37 million and they spent all but about 7 million this season and are still not in playoff positions - they will if not promoted this year they have a 3rd bite of the cherry because of their trading! We ran out of a 3rd attempt because of DC biggest the lack of trading! Lets not pretend Coventry are all that!

Logic suggests that as a club our financial profile is poor not helped by the owner plea for 2 million this season! Like a lot of club at the moment alongside current economic woes we are hardly financially low risk ! Thus our existing merchant has probably balked at allowing credit cards for this season ticket window scuppering our December plans. Weve found a merchant willing to offset the risk in this case PayPal. It allows online card payment and indeed as some wonderful instalment options making it fan friendly - we took a while to get underwritten clearly this was the delay!! (I suggest at this point DC short term income plan to fund transfer may have impacted - I might be wrong!) However the problem with PayPal is offline infrastructure isn’t quickly installed and set up, tested or designed with probably compatible with our systems! So in our rush we went into sales with the stipulation that it had to be cash / cheque as out in store merchant were not willing to take the risk. Or PayPal wanted it indeed the lion share of payment through their system so we’re trying to force more online payments. Our local Journo never bothered to correct the rumours flying around about not being able to use CC which as fuelled alongside poor result anger.

If D.C. as financial woes it’s coming from the far east slow down I suspect.

Hard to watch once they scored that second and the flood gates opened. Watching the goals back and it’s makes it even worse!!

Now trying peddle the fact we are unable to take credit card payments as evidence we will go bust … ignoring the fact you can use credit card via pay pal and al need to do is set up account if you don’t have one. Suspect the fees for PP are more attractive than the current supplier thus the restriction on the paying in person and suspect we’ve not got the time to install the offline solution yet.

And another protest planned now due to season ticket prices. Whether you have agreed with us up to this point or not, it is now time to come together as a fanbase. The latest prices show the chairman hasn’t and isn’t willing to learn. Once again, the club has proven to be out of touch and shown little care for our supporters the lifeblood of everything great about Wednesday. Protest details for the Birmingham game will be announced this week. It’s simple, you know. Chansiri sell up and just go!

All renewed - as people pointed out prices slightly over 20/21 prices and slightly over the 2015 summer window prices. Would love it cheaper of course and I just hope if we ever get promoted prices don’t radically jump

Another trip to Coventry … bloody hell! Anyway if we don’t take 3k plus I don’t ever want to listen to some fucker moaning about the point system again!!

Stems from a couple of rumours .. like when DC nearly collapsed our season at Barnsley, Byers having cancer & then all the claims and counter claims about DC and DM - when trusty is spoken people complained about knowing. But you would hope it’s not true - but I can help think in the summer the same was said when few signings had come in.

So the group is starting issue threats due to the lack of activity in transfers. They are now actively spreading the rumour Rohl is going to walk. Got me thinking if Rohl walks due to lack of transfer activity - I don’t see how that reflects well on Rohl - it’s not like he expected large scale investment is it? Or would it be the chairman lied to me regards investment levels? Anyway there 9 days left of the window and one league game in between it - still plenty of time and not so risky in between and in the summer the signing came in later not earlier. The stirring up of fans base off the back of defeats seem to their modus operandi. Oh and clubs like Derby are playing on the fan base split to pressure the club into giving players away re Smith

That podcast in question also fall foul of decidedly edgy commentary when it comes to the owner as well. Stalk and the protest group supported acts targeted at the owner nationality to chase him out of the club recently as well.
