Coneheadjohn Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Chansiri has offered a refund on season tickets but on the condition the fan can never buy one again,they’re not happy up here. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/the-catch-behind-sheffield-wednesday-s-season-ticket-refund-offer-to-fans-1-8950075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 No one comes out of it well. Fans shouldn't be asking for a refund anyway. No one is guaranteed anything other than a seat to see 23 games. He's made himself look a **** *** by saying if you get a refund we dont want you back.

ThePrisoner Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm looking forward to my season ticket refund next season too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Pretty sure a few will just call his bluff on that, take the refund and await the ST selling drive. With that ig ground it's not like there's waiting lists for Wednesday STs is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Why would you ask for a refund then plan to return to get a new one for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true,but the way it’s been taken by the Wendies(on the eve of the Sheffield Derby)is understandably not great. It’s not just next season,it’s forever and includes club memberships.

If its the owner and people are that disillusioned with him then they should take the refund and be prepared to sit and wait until said owner leaves the club and the new person lifts their ban. Its about your morals of what you see as acceptable and whether you are prepared to put money in to the club. I don't necessarily agree with the Wednesday's owners attitude, but fans can't grumble about the refund and ban if they aren't happy with him. As @Paul71 says, you pay your money but you are promised anything in return in terms of the football on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but it is a bit meh,perhaps he could have offered them a discount off next years? Or do nothing and just get on with it.I think there’s been quite a bit of booing. I can see the Blades smashing them on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/266240-season-ticket-refund-official-offer/ I fear for Wednesday and for all the banter I have with them I’d love for them and the Blades to go up as runners up to the mighty Rams. Their forum is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is guaranteed anything other than a seat to see 23 games. He's made himself look a **** *** by saying if you get a refund we dont want you back. Absolutely. Clearly the club are nonsensical for even floating this idea but more pathetic are the actions of the fans. Nobody buys their season ticket on the proviso of success - of course, everyone wants it but no fan has any right to kick off if it isn't achieved. The stance of their fans is laughable and if they are prepared to ask for a refund they are effectively suggesting that they are only happy to support their side in good times. In which case, quite frankly, they don't deserve to go back. Alas, career move has dictated that I no longer have a season ticket but if I asked the club for a refund every time we had a disappointing season I dread to think of the financial dire straights we'd be in now. Even Mel ain't that loaded. But that isn't the point of being a fan. Whatever next? Prawn sandwiches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I get the impression the fan discontent isn’t just about performances. It’s a combination of high pricing, changing the tradional kits, passive aggressive statements from Chansiri about the fans and the general lack of understanding of football culture. There is also the recent CEO appointment and the comment that the club is going to be run purely as a business from now on. Many fans are worried the club is about to be taken down the tubes; and gestures like this only add fuel to the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do nothing and just get on with it.I think there’s been quite a bit of booing. I can see the Blades smashing them on Friday I used to live in Sheffield during my uni days and its funny how a two town team works with the shift in power. Wednesday for all their chat about being a bigger club and having the bragging rights the past few years for outperforming United, haven't been in the premier league for 18 years! Always preferred United and Bramall Lane (despite Warnock being in charge whilst I was there) - always thought they were the more realistic and sensible fans. Always helped that Derby always seemingly did alright when we played both teams as well! Saying that though, Wednesday fans should be careful what they wish for, I'm sure they wouldn't want a repeat of the Dave Allen days!!! (I see Napoleon's is closing down as well!)

That’s a very good assessment and I fear that behind the scenes it is going to poo. I think Dave Allen has just sold Chesterfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Two seasons in the play offs and they think they should be there every season. Largely sums up their fanbase. Fair play to the club imo, you don’t sign up to a season ticket with any guarantee of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
