Seconded, thanks a lot for the support!

Well done today, firstly for the way your fans supported our fans and obviously on the win. Was nice to be able to celebrate a goal and some temporary fun for a bit but could tell the players were done by about the 60th minute. I can completely get the frustration from the home fans as to how the game was going. In the end the quality and extra man made the difference and it could have been slightly more. It felt like a cup game between teams from different leagues in the 2nd half. I'm already worrying about Stoke next week with 2-3 less players through injury and suspension. It's ridiculous. Maybe I should be happy we aren't dead and buried yet! All the best for the season ahead and thanks for having some good convo on here regarding ownerships!

Finally... lets play some football today! Hopefully we'll give you a game. Cheers for messages of support from your fans and anyone that is generous enough to help with protests that we are doing. Hopefully the same would happen if and when its on the other foot as I know it might do with your crap ownership as it stands.

Extended embargo until July 2027 until we can sign a player or loan for any fee and wages above 7k. Also rumours Bannan might not be allowed to register. cheers Chansiri

Another thing is I hope the bloody Sky cameras manage to capture the protest. For the one we did at Leeds away last year, they cut to adverts and never showed it. Typical.

Think most of that sort of thing is expected for our first home game rather than at yours. Hopefully anyway.

Dunno hopefully most. There are a bunch that don't like the SWFC trust and don't want to protest. I don't know how many but online they appear a vocal minority.

Think its close to selling out.

We always get dogs abuse from Rotherham (they absolutely hate our guts by the way) when they were on the brink but almost all of them seem to have forgotten that Wednesday fans held buckets and collected donations for them at Hillsborough to help save Rotherham.

Because we are kept fully in the dark we have no idea what this even means. Overall I'm completely buzzing that someone decided to stay and believe in the clubs future, Baz has given everything to us and the club and deserves a knighthood. But then what about the players and staff that haven't been paid etc. Very confusing.

Think that squad will be smaller by time we play you maybe...

Loads of fans have ranged from skeptical to hatred of him for a lot longer than that maybe 6-7+ years. Its not something thats just happened overnight.

Just so you can get an idea of the guy. Its come to light this week that instead of using money to repair our stand that was at risk of closing he instead used the money to install facial recognition cameras. Members of our supporters trust (responsible for protests) have been followed around the stadium by stewards and harassed for handing out leaflets and flags being taken off people illegally. This chairman is a dictator, straight out of the old school. If he was the leader of a country it'd be North Korea esque. Almost everything that happens at the club is secretive, censored, never told to the fans, twisted, lied about. Senior members of staff dont exist. He's pretty much run the club fully himself with 1 or 2 of his pals who in 10 years have never interacted with a single fan of our club. I can't even begin to imagine what other sinister surprised lay in wait.

Chansiri has funded very little for 8 years or so. As proven with our trust doing extensive financial research. I don't think I could even begin to list the hundreds of unbelievable things hes done and said in that time. The crazy thing is that because as a club we had been starved of any investment at all for decades his initial 2 year spend (which got us into ffp issues) was treated as if he loved us and was genuinely committed. Little did we know how sinisterly unprepared, unworkable and villainous he would become. Its taken years for some fans to wake up. We are too loyal, nobody wanted to protest. Weve been through such crap for so long that I dont think many really realised we were being run into the ground.

There wont be any as most are boycotting and the reason we are blackmailed into buying season tickets in December is so that he can have the money to spend quickly. So thats gone aswell. We arent funding him anymore.

Might not be a game at this rate chaps. This is trusted journo for Radio Sheffield.

Think we'll sell plenty and we are planning a significant protest aswell. Its mainly home tickets and any merch/kits that fans are boycotting.

Classic Chansiri that. For years he just abused fans verbally, blackmailed us at every turn, begged for money then told us it covers nothing, told us to sell our houses to fund our love for the club, laughed at our pain, gaslight us, called us customers, told us we are bad customers, begged for money again, lied, lied and lied etc. That response that he gave our local MPs is so on brand. Another classic Chansiri moment is when a major and significant fan group (that had been part of the club for years before he even arrived) wanted to meet and discuss concerns with him he just denied they existed and pretended he had never heard of them. Anyway not gonna unload the misery anymore. I'll be back on to focus on, on the pitch matters and see if I can find any way in which we can steal 3 points and laugh all the way back to Sheffield...

I think on the whole our fans have an inability not to be loyal. We're heading for our 4th stint in league 1 in the last 23 years and Premless in 25 years. yet we're still getting 26k fans last year despite living under the tyrants ownership. I think it's all about to change though, incredible amounts of fans have completely lost hope and energy with it. The general feeling is that the only way to protest is to not put a single penny in Chansiri's pocket. So far almost everyone has completely boycotted buying merch, kits and tickets (apart from seasons ticket holders who bought them last Jan as Chansiri always begs the fans to buy early then spunks that cash grab up the wall as quick as he can). So now I think the main focus of most fans is to stay away. It's been made easier for some as 7-8000 of them don't have a seat anymore with the North Stand being shut. This evil man has not even looked after our wonderful stadium enough that is is safe for people to visit and support the team, he's let it rot like the rest of the club. We didn't even have hot water in that stand by the way. It's hard to know what's best to do but those fewer fans that can't face not going are really going to have to make some significant protests because that's the only way to keep the pressure up. No more money and plenty more coverage of protests. No one knows Chansiri's aims now. It feels dystopian that he's holding onto the club as it slips into the abyss but the fear of fars for us is that he's lowering the wages and running costs as much as possible to run the club at a minimum maybe in league 1 or 2. The guy is bizarrely and demonically narcissistic. No one believes he is genuinely trying to sell the club. We've seen too many of his gaslighting lies over the years to believe it to be true.

Some absolute class posts on here from Leicester fans who 'get it'. Appreciate the moral support and I know there's plenty of tongue in cheek comments about you losing this game but fvck me we are completely on our knees as a club. It would be genuinely stunning if we snatch a draw with the squad we have available and it could be even worse come 10 August. Ultimately it doesn't even matter because we are dead and buried already. Most fans are not focused on the results on the pitch but on survival. We have no clue about the ability of many of the players we have because they've never played much football but we don't have a high quality academy anyway so the presumption is this is a potentially league 1/2 level team at the moment. I know you guys have your own struggles which look worrying and you've experienced the admin years and League one before etc. I wouldn't wish it on anyone so hopefully you get sorted soon aswell even though it looks and feels bleak.
