Sheff Wed -10th Aug 16:30 - First up?

[Spudulike]

Is this actually going ahead given the potential collapse of SWFC? Players leaving and management gone. Who's coaching them? No tickets being sold for the away end. What a mess. Sad.

[teblin]

They would have a youth team, I guess they would have to play? It's very sad, I loved watching their team with Waddle in 90's.  Have friends and family that are fans too.

[Nolucklcfc]

Disgrace what that bloke is doing to that club. 

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

Whenever these things happen, I can’t help but think of the fans and be so thankful this hasn’t happened to us. I feel for them, I bet it is heartbreaking. Up the Owls!

It's unbelievable that it's allowed to happen.

The irony is that all that happens now are measures which hurt the club even more. Embargos, points deductions, fines.  All of which make the situation more dire for the fans. Due process has massively failed Sheff Weds.

They can’t even use their North Stand now deemed unsafe due to the required repairs not being made. And this is after their tw@t of an owner used a Thai firm to assess the stand, this company had neither the qualifications or experience in the UK to do so - their assessment rejected but the owner was willing for fans to continue to use the stand. You have to feel for their fans.

Sheffield wednesday seem to be one of those clubs that get one bad owner after another....such potential there too.

PSR is built to stop this kind of things is it not?

Hahahahahha!  There are probably many out there who genuinely think that and think the rules could be even tougher to stop a Chansiri. He might even be used as an excuse to do so. There appears to be little to stop a complete rogue charlatan from taking over a club and killing it.  I supposed PSR stopped him buying players for 30 million + , but where as our owners liked to splash the cash, it seems that was never an objective for Chansiri.

Should be 3-0 minimum. We have lucked out enormously getting this fixture.

 

Even I think we'll win comfortably. To lose it would be on a par with Newport for me.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

It's on TV as the culmination of the opening weekend no? Sheffield Wednesday will be there even if they're playing 15 year olds. Sky won't allow otherwise.

[Ashley]

It'd be the most Leicester thing to do to go and lose it 

[Guest Bilo]

Surely even we couldn't lose this opening fixture. We'll be up against players who are too young to get the photo ID for a five knuckle shuffle before the game. 

[Tielemans63]

Absolutely heartbreaking what has happened to Sheffield Wednesday. Proper football club. Hopefully someone can come and rescue them ASAP.

An absolute disgrace for a once great club. 

 

We moan but FM what they're going through is horrendous

We're probably 12 months behind them.

[SystonFox]

re ; tickets not being sold for the away end... Sheffield are usually a well followed club and it's a relatively short trip. How many are they likely to bring?

[wardyfox86]

This has the feel of that Hull game in 16/17, opening day.

 

They'll have a bunch of kids going out with fearless naivety, nothing to lose and everything to prove.

He made a point of paying the U21’s no matter what, when everyone else wasn’t paid. So they’ll have a line up.
