a good will gesture from me.

to the 10,000 plus wendy who will be going to there first game this season as the club are desperate and letting you in on the cheap. heres how to get there.


Directions

Leave the M1 at Junction 36 and follow the A61 into Sheffield. Continue along the A61 for approximately eight miles. You will come to view the sty on your right. This is not the shortest route to the ground, but this is definitely the easiest and avoids Sheffield City Centre which is usualy full of blades. There is some street parking to be had if you arrive early, otherwise there are some unofficial car parks along the A61 that charge in the region of £3.
'There is a car park directly behind the Kop and the Wendy Club shop. It is called the pinky perky car park and is open to fans of both teams. It costs £5 for visitors'.

By Train

Sheffield Railway Station is situated in the town centre, two miles from the ground. Either get a taxi up to the ground or the bus station is a one minute walk from the railway station. Cross over at the pedestrian crossing, and avoid rolling around in the mud follow the signs. Head for the far side of the terminus. Bus no. 53 to Ecclesfield runs regularly to the ground (every ten minutes), as well as numbers 77 & 80 (every 15 minutes), the journey time is about 30 minutes. if arriving by train, by far the easiest way to get to the ground is by tram, which run every ten minutes during the day. Leaving the station on a blue tram, you can either change to a yellow one in the city centre, which takes you to Leppings Lane (right by the ground), or stay on the blue one to the sty, which is 10 minutes walk to the ground'. The journey time of the tram is around 20 minutes. on matchdays regular shuttle buses run from the road at the far side of the bus station They are marked pig fans'.

to keep in accordance with the regular supporters could you mainly remain quiet but occasionally break out into the club anthem which goes

de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de
wendy.

hope you enjoy the game and the club will look forward to seeing you again in another 10 years. or when they become desperate again.

no mate at my age i have trouble bending down to tie them back up. i left that to the young uns. but i did take my teeth out.

I hope you also provided directions to your fans that rushed out to buy tickets last season after being missing for many seasons:D

It will seem strange seeing it so full again though, i remember when we filled it each week, standing on the kop, beating man utd and the roar of the crowd could actually make young kids cry

Desperate times at Wednesday usually come around about every 3 to 5 years...it's a secret ploy to generate extra cash, however I've yet to determine what the extra cash is or has been used for:confused:

he does it every game kerry. gets bored with the football so cloth's off and entertains the kiddies. :loopy:

How much are some of your kids tickets this year ?? :) :)

Good post though.


paid 12 quid a game for my young un this season. 2 quid more than you're adults are paying sunday.

being serious tho for a sec. its about time you're club did something decent for the fans. our club gave up to 7,000 freebies away for the middlesbro cup game and let all kids in under 12 free last week accompanied with an adult. my youngest is nearly 15 so did'nt benefit myself. but it was nice to see all the future blades enjoying themselves.

just a pity only part timers benefit tho. season tkt holders have already paid up front. but i suppose if there true pigs they should'nt mind. try and get the young uns hooked.

what 27 years ago u freak

boxing day 79 was even longer
and yet you lot sing about it

Perhaps some of the 10,000 extra coming to Hillsborough will be some of those 'neutrals' that swelled your numbers last season by 10,000 from the season before, but have now largely deserted you this season. :hihi:

Grow up ya muppet

shut up u muppet, thats a very funny post hahahahah and very TRUE :hihi:

10,000 from the season before, but have now largely deserted you this season. :hihi:

take off an average 2,000 visitors meaning home support last season was around 28,500. average this season 25,500 so how do you work out large desertion.

take off an average 2,000 visitors meaning home support last season was around 28,500. average this season 25,500 so how do you work out large desertion.

Because you still have visitors this season to take off the 25,500.

Brilliant use of statistics. I like the way you've removed the away fans from your average gate last season (and I'm pretty sure that the average Premiership away following, even at your hole, would have been more than 2k and nearer 3k), but still included them in this season's average and hoped nobody would notice. Have you ever thought of going into politics?!

Whichever way you look at it, you've had a drop in your crowds, apros po achieving a number of gloryhunters. And ask yourself how many would still be coming if most of them hadn't renewed their season tickets when you were 10 points clear of relegation!

He may not have put his view across properly, he probably means the PL brings an extra 2,000 fans

So he still leaves the 1,000 away fans in BOTH figures of 25,500 and 28,500. Had he not, the figures would have been 24,500 and 27,500

But yes, we have received a drop in numbers coming to watch games. This could be neutrals who wanted to see PL football, this could be glory hunters who have decided not to come back. Either way it was expected we would have a loss in fanbase, but its nowhere near as many as "some" anticipated.

Rob, where has he left the away support from 25,500? What is your average this season?

its the 2nd season out of the prem you tend to notice gates dropping by large amounts ..and thats for any club

Rob, where has he left the away support from 25,500? What is your average this season?

The reference of a drop of 2k is where PL teams bring EXTRA fans. So instead of 3k coming, only 1k might.

So our average attendance would be approx 24,500 home fans this season, but last season without the away fans it was probably about 27,600

Dear god, who cares if Wednesday are offering cut prices for the last game of the season.

It's a good idea, what's your problem? :loopy:

just read on sf wanted section someone went today and the game is sold out .

Yep says so here

http://www.swfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0,,10304~1302667,00.html

Gutted :( Was gonna go too :(

We'll be there :thumbsup:

Taking the little 'un for her first Wednesday game, so fingers crossed for the right result.

Why didn't I think that they may sell out arrrghhh I'm absolutely gutted :(

Natalie the part timer ;)

Don't know what you're reading igm because I can't seem to find anyone saying it's not a good idea, even from us Blade fans. :confused:

Natalie the part timer ;)

she's not on her own this week .

she's not on her own this week .

Good point......

So I've decided to differentiate between the part timers.

The ones who have got a ticket for this sundays game who doesn't have a Season Ticket is just a part timer.

Those who don't have a ticket all together, is a part part timer ;)

COME OUT PART AND PART PART TIMERS, OUT YOURSELVES.

It's saved me some cash anyway. :)

Don't know what you're reading igm because I can't seem to find anyone saying it's not a good idea, even from us Blade fans. :confused:

Well done to SWFC. Just shows what can be achieved when they do something for the fans. :thumbsup:

Let's hope next season, with a new board they will review their ticket pricing policy and get the fans back!

UTO!


They'd better not cock up it up now! :suspect:

On the ball City!!!!!

Never mind the danger!

Part timers day out, pity they give woodwork fans discounts then whack £50-£100 on the season ticket of a die hard.

Sell out, great. Means I'll have to jump in a taxi from town half an hour early to get through the traffic

Although I've got my ticket: This game could be a bit of let down as (correct me if I'm wrong) all of the other teams in the relegation scrap will have played on Saturday and if they lose or draw then the game will be just two bottom of the table strugglers playing out their last game with nothing to play for.

Could be the biggest gate for a non event ever.

All teams play at the same time on last day of the season

Everyone plays on Sunday at the same time..... JEEZ part timers.

Oops I'll get me coat...

Must remember to get the facts right before I engage brain first.

Of course all the championship clubs are playing on Sunday.

Oops I'll get me coat...

I'd get your paddle boat if you're going to Hillsborough :D

thats just typical. i can actually get to a game and it sells out:mad:

Another part part timer ;)

If you can't get to the game you could always buy one of these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SHEFFIELD-WEDNESDAY-V-NORWICH-CITY-LAST-GAME-BADGE_W0QQitemZ130218736281QQihZ003QQcategoryZ5360 7QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

Neither can I, which wasn't my point.

Now I'm more confused.
Who, in your opinion, is having a problem with it ?
The only fly in the ointment, as far as I can see, is some season ticket holders mildly complaining.
If the Owls orrder in enough foodstuffs, etc. they can maybe offset the discount price.
Seems like good business and P.R. to me.
Anyways, good luck on the day.:thumbsup:

For anyone who is complaining about not getting a ticket for the final game, I ask you one thing.......

HOW LONG HAVE TICKETS BEEN ON SALE?

Part timers day out, pity they give woodwork fans discounts then whack £50-£100 on the season ticket of a die hard.

Sell out, great. Means I'll have to jump in a taxi from town half an hour early to get through the traffic

Exactly, I wonder how many of these part timers will be buying a season ticket next year

i wont be:D hopefully the season after though. anyway, whats it matter when we go for a ticket, i never expected it to sell out, even with the discount. wonder what gates we'd get next season with tickets about the same price

Great news-its a 'sell-out' I'm happy- but thousands of these 'fans' will be turning up expecting to see Chris Brunt, Steve McLean,and the rest of the Millennium team because that was probably the last game they saw !!

it would be intersting to see how much wednesday get from this game in ticket sales compared to usual gates. surely it must be more but wehther it would get them to lower prices in future is a different matter i suppose

For anyone who is complaining about not getting a ticket for the final game, I ask you one thing.......

HOW LONG HAVE TICKETS BEEN ON SALE?

I know we shouldn't bait, but it's a good point, but one which I think has two vastly differing opinions.

None of the fairweather mob would have turned up without a price reduction, but they have been right royally shafted pricewise (and performancewise) for a hell of a long time.

thats just typical. i can actually get to a game and it sells out:mad:

youre either the best wind up merchant on here or the biggest idiot. what is it dave.

Because you still have visitors this season to take off the 25,500.

when we have had support from visitors this year ie wendy, bristol, hull, barnsley we have been round the 29,000/30,000 mark. but still managed to average 25,500 with the likes of colchester, burnley, blackpool being in town.

Yes, my point is that I wonder why are the blades trying to criticise the fact that Wednesday have more than the usual amount of supporters coming?

Of course it's going to happen! Lower prices and its the last game of season.

to the 20,000 loyal pigs that have stood and watch that rubbish this season well done to you say i.

to the 16,000 who've just gone for the cheap day out SHAME ON YOU.

you should all be made to sit together so the proper fans know who you are.

Well said BB. I think it may be better if they paint their faces blue like this chap (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/214/445347167_f7635192c1.jpg) then there will be no doubt who they are.

:D

I wonder if they will have any programs for all these loyal supporters .

right then, so what your saying is if you cant get to every game then dont bother. i actually could of gone if they hadnt sold the stadium out and i would of gone even if they werent discounted. they let you buy single tickets so you can get if you cant make it to all home games, working etc. i'm sorry bb for not realising it was going to sell out, dont see how i'm a wind up merchant or idiot:huh:

Don't think that it's Blades doing all the criticising though, is it ?
In any case it's a non-issue, lower the price of anything and sales go up.
That's the way it's supposed to work isn't it ?
No ifs, ands or buts, it was a good move on Wednesday's part.
A "win win" situation as we say over here.

i would of gone even if they werent discounted.

So why didn't you get a ticket then when they went on sale.

Obviously when tickets were reduced there was a possibility of a sell out, considering how important that game is.

i had to make sure i was off, thats all. if i knew they were going to sell out i would of got one and refunded it if i was working. if i had started my new job just a week earlier, i wouldnt of had the problem. oh well, i will have to hope i can get to first game of next season

Once again some posters on here are out of touch with reality....mostly you lot from S2, who I think are showing a little jealousy at Wednesday getting the biggest championship crowd of the season....I'm right are'nt I girls ?
Now how can any knowledgable football supporter not understand the concept of 'part time' fans ? How did the Sheffield clubs muster over 70,000 down to Wembley in 93..without part time fans ? and so on !
Loyal supporters...every club has them they are not exclusive to either side in this city and likewise the part timers....without them neither club would ever fill their grounds again, so no bragging rights could be acknowledged on this forum or anywhere else. In reality SWFC have made a good move reducing the prices to fill the ground on Sunday, and who can blame anyone for taking up the offer..that was the idea ! I know many people will probably take their kids..some for the first time...so what ! No shame in that whatsoever ! Get over it my piggy chums !

said on radio sheffield at 4.00 they had 1,000 left restricted viewing.
its been advertised all week 36,000 have gone down and got tkts how come its always you. i suspect youre a blade on a wind up surely nobody is this idiotic. nice one mate i like youre style and up the blades;)

ok then. they have said on the radio, let me think why i missed that, maybe its because we cant have radio on where i worked. i never saw any other adverts to say how ticket sales were going. if i thought there was any chance of a sell out, obviously i could of got an early ticket and refunded it if needed

so its last game of season, its a very important game, youre on the verge of a take over, tickets are a tenner and fiver and you never thought there was a chance of a sell out.

we have never sold out on the last game before. fair enough, they lowered prices so i did expect a bigger turnout than usual but i only expected around 30k at most, now if that makes me stupid, an idiot then whatever but i'll never be a blade

what your going down to norwich to get a ticket. jesus youre keen pity you was'nt so keen earlier in week or rest of season for that matter.

ON both occasions i've seen the Steel City matches(@ the Lane) i end up with tickets on the kop.It's difficult being restrained.

What you argues was that you got an average of 30,000 last year, and if you take off the average away attendance last year (you said 2000) that gave you the average number of home fans - 28,000.

This year you have averaged 25,000. But you havene't taken off the average number of away fans this year (probably near 2000 again) in order to get the average number of home fans this year (probably around 23,000).

So you have lost around 5000 fans from last year.

pity we cant play blades every week ......4 points every 2 games ....sorted:)

You wouldn't sell out then ;)

That we stayed in the league? Highest average attendance. More wealth. More power. Better squad. Big future.....

The Owls, well the only thing they have is a possible takeover and possibly staying in this league.

I'll give you highest average attendance, the others are all relative - 10/15 years ago we had more wealth,better players etc - thats just a fact of life it'll go full circle again.
It must still hurt that all the boasting of instant promotion,easy 6 points etc just haven't happened.No matter how much is made of our own financial distress - we didn't make those type of predictions.

yep. but i'm still waiting.

i smell another pig trying to board the cheap ticket gravy train.

I have to admit I'm looking forward to a great atmosphere and a full house.

But (here he goes) it does leave a little bit of a bad taste.

Primarily because of the season ticket price increase. Wednesday may (possibly although I can't confirm it to be true) announce 'we had a full house so there can't be a problem with our pricing policies'. Season ticket holders were going to protest at this game - Wednesday have been (although they may not have been - it's just a guess) very cunning in ensuring a full house of part timers which will nicely hide any demo by regulars. Very cunning. (Alledgedly - although this may not be true).

And it's bad that we have struggled to top 20,000 all season, and at the point where we might just be safe, 10,000 extra fans appear.

Where were they all season? 10,000 fans getting to 10 games each at £20 a game is £2million quid for the club. A nice slice off the debt, an increased wage budget, even a new signing, Billy Sharp was £2m (ok bad example :hihi:).

And we aren't safe yet - one of 5 teams still in trouble. These occasions have a habit of biting us on the arse through complacency!

I know Wednesday aren't unique in having these part timers - all teams have them. And some of them have good reason to be part timers.

But hopefully some of them will see that regular attendance can make a massive difference.

UTO.

I have to admit I'm looking forward to a great atmosphere and a full house.

But (here he goes) it does leave a little bit of a bad taste.

You seem a little cynical fs, probably with good cause, but I think that it was still a good move on Wednesday's part to lower prices for this game.
Apart from a crowd this size being the 12th man, it could catch a few future supporters.
Plus the profit from everyone buying a pie and a pint.:hihi:

Why not try to get a ticket on the norwich end,just keep stum if the owls score.Thats what im going to do anyway.

I doubt you will. It's all ticket for Norwich fans, and no tickets to be on sale on the day.

great post mate,I hate it when the part timers turn up can't get in the pubs on london rd for em:mad:

yea, i forgot there was supposed to be a protest. i would still rather it be a full house though, hopefully they will get behind the team, plus how often do you get to go to hillsborough when theres a full house, it wont next season when its back to ripping off fans(regulars and part timers), so you might aswell just enjoy it

great post mate,I hate it when the part timers turn up can't get in the pubs on london rd for em:mad:


yer always still p****d from friday night to notice.

Part timers day out, pity they give woodwork fans discounts then whack £50-£100 on the season ticket of a die hard.

Sell out, great. Means I'll have to jump in a taxi from town half an hour early to get through the traffic


Want to retract the part timer statement, after talking to few "part timers" in the New Bridge on Sunday after the match it made me realise it's the boards fault for simply charging too much.

I accept that many can't attend every match and therefore a season ticket isn't viable (Not viable for anybody next season). then I can't fault them for refusing to fork out 25 quid a pop for football which for 90% of the time is complete bob.

With the additions of kids, travel and food many simply can't afford it. So who can fault them for turning up when Wednesday decided not to screw the fans over for a week.

Anyway at £446 for a season ticket on the North, I'm now a part timer. Will just attend every away match that I can get hold of a ticket for next season.

Missed 3 this season, more like 26 next season, cheers Kaven, the one thing in life I enjoy most and you shaft me up the bum, cheers

Say what you want about the extra 10000 fans, but what it boils down to was this - Wednesday made an effort to get fans through the doors, and the fans responded. To get that many fans through the door, you have to have the fans in the first place, casual supporters or not.

Do you want to remind us how many blades fans turned up for the Middlesborough game when you GAVE AWAY FREE TICKETS? Thats right, free tickets to see their beloved blades play against a Premiership team? Surely they sold the stadium out, didn't they?

right buster here we go.

amate of mine pig (yes i have 1 or 2) has been to 1 game all season blackpool away and only then cos it was a lads weekend on the lash. norwich game he took wife (1st game against her will) and 3 kids who were allowed to take some toys to play with. cant get any more casual then that.

middlesbro game on the thursday before the game (sunday) united decided to give away 7,000 tickets to the first 7,000 who had already bought a ticket. i only found out because i saw it on the united web site. i rang round my pals and not one of them knew about it. in fact the only reason you know is because i told you on here and every one else who read my thread. as for the reason people didnt go down and get one was because they had already got one or they did'nt have a friend who had got one or maybe because it was live on tele (the same reason you give for not selling yours for the derby) perhaps heysay can answer you on that one. anyhow i was there and also at middlesbrough for the televised replay. :)

So basically what your saying is that Utd are crap at marketing? Or at least worse than Wednesday?

(as it happens, I think both moves by the respective clubs made good sense - it's just the Wednesdya fans responded better:D )

[QUOTE=Annoni_mouse;3499067]

they did'nt have a friend

Not many piggies have one :hihi:

yep but pigs had two weeks to respond. advertised in the wendy star and local radio. and it was'nt on tele.

why did'nt you pigsters respond to the derby.

and i like your " told you i would'nt forget tho dint i" nice one :thumbsup:

...i have seen wednesday more times than all of them this year....
And enjoyed it just as much, as we have all enjoyed the fare that was served up for much of the season, during which we lost so many home games 2-0

Given you're recent poor attendances in the FA Cup, do you think it would have made that much difference?

As for the derby game,I cant answer for all fans, all I know is I was there. To be honest mate, thats all I'm bothered about :thumbsup:

are you not the person who told someone today to stop making stupid post's and stay on the thread topic ?valid point was how you put it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with humourous banter.

My issue with Unregistered is that he continually starts threads/makes posts without EVER raising a valid opinion (i.e. starting a thread 'Will Wednesday be relegated next season' - a pointless thread as no one knows what the situation at Hillsborough next season will be until we reach next season, and Unregistered starts it off with no actual opinion of his own, and then contributes with posts like 'too many players are fat' which is in no relation to anything else on the thread. What is the point in that?).
