Not heard much from the much talked about Wednesdayite in the last few months, is Strafford looking at keeping them involved with Wednesday or not?

Wednesdayite have a meeting with Lee Strafford 19th February

they do seem to have slipped into the background

Thank god for that, if they had the full info they would no doubt leak it and scupper whatever deal is on the table. They appear to think that they represent all Wednesdayites when infact they only represent their relatively small membership.

However their + 10% shareholding is a stumbling block that will one day have to be addressed, any ideas guys?

One of them goes to my bro's every week for subscriptions to some raffle or something like that. He spends all the time there blurting out what is happening behind the scenes.

Looking forward to the meeting with Lee Strafford on Thursday.

Do you think that the Wednesdayite group are hoping to keep the 10% regardless of a takeover happening or not (the rumoured new investors may be the best thing to happen at S6, but they could equally be bad news - just look at the hassle caused at places like Liverpool by the Americans)?

Maybe the reason they're not saying too much at the moment is that they're trying to make sure that what happens is in the best interests of your club (after the recent problems with Mr Allen that's understandable), and to maintain that 10%, they've always got a foothold at the club? Whether a new investor is willing to allow that could be an issue though?

must be high up in the wednesdayite ranks if he collects subscriptions for a weekly raffle :loopy::loopy:

I personally would like to know nothing until the deal is done, better done very quietly than having too many factions thinking that they know what's going on. Wednesdayite have a habit of putting two and two together and coming up with fourty seven, remember if they had got what they wanted we would have Ken Bates as our chairman.

Wednedayite were spurned out of distrust for the SWFC board, if the takeover is kosher then they should become surplus to requirements. The problem IMHO is the 10% + shareholding, I would be happier if it was definately going to the new regime.

Just my personal opinion, I don't have to join a fans group that only represents a small proportion of the fan base to express it.

A well put together post, and sensible outlook, there has been to many maybe's the last year, wait for the thing to happen. As for wednesdayite, as far as the club will be concerned they will surely have no say in the running of a new regime.

I would rather Wednesdayite hang onto the 10% than give it any old investor. If it wasn't for them, Allen would have taken the 10%. Wednesdayite are not involved at all with this deal, they are merely helping the club raise funds for the academy and doing community work for for the club. Anyone who thinks Wednesdayite is detrimental to the club is a blinkered idiot.
They are fans for christ sake, they want Wednesday to prosper. Again, if you don't like what they are doing, join and express your view.

Exactly.Lee Stafford is working closely with Wednesdayite at the moment and taking on board there views.They may only have a small % of supporters views but they cover a wide support range and therefore represent most supporters wishes.The beam back was asked for by Wednesdayite and was a great success.Changes to the ticketing policy and goods available in the club store were also mentioned.
Allen ran the club without the 10% so i can't see why a new owner can't do the same.

I must say ive sat on the North stand for a good 5 out of 7 years and i am making a move tommorow night and going back to the kop, not because its cheaper but because its a place where we all should enjoy, that stand is massive and doesn't get the credit it should, there's not many stand's which stand on there own which are that big any more in Britain and in Europe even, most new ground's are tiered these days.

I've watched around 90% of my matches on the Kop, ok the view isn't as good as it is on the north or south, but it's always held a place in my heart.

For those of us lucky enough to experience the kop in the 80's and 90's with standing allowed, it's hard to forget the hair tingling moments.

Wasn't the meeting supposed to be today? any news yet?

You don't appear to have a clue about what you are talking about:thumbsup:


It seems that Lee Strafford wants Wednesdayite to take a more active role and is encouraging all supporters to join them.

HE clearly values their invovlement:

OR..... another way to look at it, Stafford wants Wednesdayite on his side.

Of course he does, he needs to embrace all sections of the supporters.

Wednesdayite are a positive force for the club and fans.

As share holders they are entitled, should the occasion arrise, to challenge board decissions. Wednesdayite have been (and justifiably as things have turned out) a platform for some of their members to voice their concerns in the media not everyone agrees with some of the points put forward.

Some have suggested (mainly a view put forward by the last Chairman who I would imagine wouldn't like challenging about anything) that this is putting investors off. But thinking about the last so called takeover, Wednesdayite even went as far as to change their rules so they could sell their shares in order to assist the so called takeover.

Like previous posts if you want to get involved then join them.


Just for the record I'm not a member.

plus them owning 10% of the shares makes them a potential problem when it comes to the investment deal.

That makes anyone who owns 10% or more shares a potential problem.

They own 10% of the shares therefore they own 10% of the club, the problem is, as with the other 65% of shareholders they have no money to invest. However, the majority of shareholders in any company have no money to invest they just wait for their anual share of the profits.

Wednesday can't have it both ways when you're trading shares on the stock market then enyone is entitled to buy those shares or in Wednesdayite's case have them given to you.

Remember that previous board members created the "problem" in the first case by giving those shares to the Owls Trust to avoid stock market regulations in order to avoid their responsibilities with regard to the other share holders.

They thought that at the time it was a smart move and they would get the shares back however others decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth and wouldn't give them back as the shares were given in good faith. Resulting in the bullying tactics reported in the media.

The whole point of having share holders is to make money for those share holders and to make those running the company accountable to the people who own the company i.e. the share holders.
