Wednedayite was i going mad or I did hear that after the new chairman came in at your place the attendance for the next game doubled

from 16,000 to around 30,000.
You lot must have really hated the last bloke
No mate youre not going mad, youre spot on. For the blackpool match we had about 15500 which is the worst for about ten years. The new chairman then announced that the charlton match would be £10 adults and a fiver for kids....we got 30,000 turn up for that one..!
He has now cut ticket prices by 25% and also given that saving back to season ticket holders too. On saturday against united he paid for a giant screen to be erected on the pitch at hillsborough (as they wouldn't give us the entire bramall lane end) and 9,000 watched the match live at hillsborough.
I dont think the guy is the new messiah but he is indeed a very astute business man and his 'giving the club back to the fans' approach is definately paying dividends. He's an absolute star !!
Today, he announced that we have turned down a lucrative shirt sponsership deal and instead donated it all to the sheffield childrens hospital charity who's logo will be on our shirts for the next 2 seasons. He wants to show that footballs not all about money grabbing and more about being part of the community youre in. At this rate , he'll be the next prime minister..
The atmosphere has changed completely at S6, I dont think were about to trouble man u just yet, but it certainly does feel like weve got our club back, and this week, I am oh so proud to be a wednesdayite..!
sorry.....in answer to your original question...yes, we really did hate the last bloke.....
