I'm not going to the Final. None of the group I went to the previous 3 Wembley games are going to the final, except for one remaining season ticket holder. As a group we decided not to renew, so would be hypocritical to go to a final, where the prize will be a season in the top flight that again we will not attend until we get new owners. (Please let one of Burnsys rumours come true). Of course it feels like I having my ****ing heart ripped out, but thats my choice. I will raise a glass to you all from the pub, and wish you all a safe journey.
We will have to give Tiger travel a miss. Our kid is banned after an unsavoury incident involving the toilets. In his defence nothing was proved and it was all circumstantial evidence.
If we want new owners we need to be in the next division. To get there we need to win at Wembley. To win at Wembley the lads need our support. You want new owners but don't wanna do your bit? Have your cake and eat it?
Don't want to derail this thread with old arguments we all know too well, just outlining there could be a correlation between drop in attendances at the KC and people going to Wembley, i.e. both down by about 20-30% ish. Early days in the sales though so lets see. I can't win really, if I had said I was going to Wembley some one would have come back with "you ain't been all season you glory seeking plastic ****", or some similar polite quip.
Sheffield urban area 640,000. Hull urban area 573,000. Sheffield metropolitan area includes areas with their own clubs. We will have more people who have us as their nearest club than Wednesday. Going by populations we will have had a bigger crowd for our play off home game than Derby. Or Brighton. Won't we?
I think anyone staying away from Wembley because of the Allams is cutting off their nose to spite their face. Who's gonna want to pay the premium for a oremier league club that can only muster up 20k for a playoff final at the worlda greatest football ground?
Plenty keep saying this but I see it the other way, if we go up they will stay. Villa were up for sale for ages, soon as they're relegated a buyer turns up.
£60 million for a club with more history, a bigger fan base and their own 40,000 stadium. So, what are we worth?
