The SkyBet Championship

Also-you can pay on the gate and sit/stand more or less where you want without hassle.
Oh yes, I remember that some of the hardcore fans would walk from behind one goal in the first half to the opposite end in the second.

Too much hard work for me, when you could sit in the stand for nothing in the second half. At the Linnets and at Dover, that was.

I'm really glad we're not in the championship any more.

Or you can buy one for three years starting 2024/25.

This one only works out at 16% increase on the cheapest price anyone could renew at for the coming season.

Indeed.

And that’s category D!

He’s going to lose a whole generation of fans.

Those who bought season tickets early this year are going to be in for a shock when he hikes them up again next year.

Which he doesn’t seem to realise could be back in League One again…

Would it be right to assume that there's a degree of unrest amongst the fanbase OiH?

There is, although there are always those who like to think they’re ‘better fans’ because they bought season tickets at the earliest available prices just after Christmas.

Not everyone wants one, plenty can’t make every match for a variety of reasons but Chansiri seems to think that increasing season ticket sales is the only way.

He’ll be in for a shock next season when they are hiked up once more and people have to start making tough decisions on whether to pay it or pay the increase in mortgage repayments etc..

I went to 19 league games last season (More than I initially thought possible) and had a membership which cost me £30.

With that I got £3 off each game so it made sense, plus the prices I were paying weren’t over the top.

This season though I’d have to fork out £50 for a membership, which gets me £5 off each ticket, which of course works out the same, but with the lowest price still £31 for the first game that would mean I’d have to start with an initial spend of £86 in order to save a fiver…

It’s not worth it and frankly he can shove it.

We still haven’t signed any players, still haven’t got the new managers backroom staff in place and the first game is getting closer and closer. This owner is clearly struggling financially but will blame everyone but himself.

I predict a fight against relegation at best.

It’s amazing that the feel good factor amongst the fans has dissipated so quickly since that great day out at Wembley on May 29th.

For an outsider it may sound over the top, but myself and many other Owls fans have serious and genuine concerns about the clubs future.

I always wondered why Sheffield Wednesday fans weren't more vocal against him when you were going down. And your prices have been shocking for a while, I remember getting charged about £50 for an away game at Wednesday years ago now.

He is like a clone of Fawaz in every sense, and when we had enough we made our point clear and he was gone as soon as Marinakis put the cash up.

The only difference I see between them is Fawaz wanted to be liked and Chansiri doesn't really care.

Tbh there’s not been much activity in the market anywhere yet. Hope it picks up soon!

Wednesday fans are the most apathetic in the country bar none.

They wouldn’t put up with it across the city, and 35 miles up the road at Leeds it’d be the same. They wouldn’t take much.

With our lot, too many think that if you keep quiet and say nowt, you are then a ‘true fan’

I’m not a Sheffield native so I don’t share that attitude.

Derby fans will take that crown, the fanbase that were still behind Mel Morris after he put them into administration.

£300 plus VAT

That doesn’t include any hospitality, any tickets and neither do the mascots get to spend any time with the players beforehand. Basically, wait in the tunnel and walk out on the pitch.

At Notts it costs £215 all in (providing the kid already has a kit) and for that they give out three hospitality tickets, a two course meal, a ground tour, meet and greet for the mascot with the players in the dressing rooms and every picture taken on the day by the club photographer.

When a side who have only just returned back to the football league can offer a deal which not only includes the mascot, but the parents themselves it shows just how badly out of touch Chansiri is.

I don’t blame the staff working at the club. Every day must be a nightmare for them when you’ve got a bloke who decides EVERY single policy.

I'm bemused that organising such a day for a youngster is so difficult.

After all, it costs the club nothing to walk the lad through the club by someone who would be glad of the chance to do something connected to the club they love.

The kits, meals, tickets etc will add up to very little, but live with the youngster and family for a lifetime.

Potentially safeguarding issues etc even if they're with their parents though.

Not that I don't agree with you, mind.
