    Getting each burger to resemble Micky Melon's face was obviously too challenging for the Lindley's bloke

    The spit roast was Ben Ainwick's idea originally. However, since it was a 'family fun day' the club had to change the event into a hogroast, which happened to be an innuendo, showing their deep hatred towards Sheffield Wednesday.

    As for the shirt, I think its more Argentina, Uruguay, Man City, Lazio, than Sheffield Wednesday.

    Anyone else think our home kit looks like a Wednesday kit? I think it does...

    Was a shame north stand shut. Very hard to get access to Lower east for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Seemed less stalls again but can't expect much for free. Players very accommodating to requests for pictures even from 10:15

    I live in Wednesdayland, am married to a Wednesday fan. You could say there is a blue/ red divide in our house.

    Granted, the blue on our away shirt is not the same, but I'd prefer any other colour.

    Personally, I think we should have tapped into the high-visability market. Chelsea did it a few years ago.

    Loads of people need something hi-viz these days. Kids require hi-viz so cars don't drive onto the pavement and run them over, people wear hi-viz clothing to go for a run/bike ride/riding a horse. To increase the market segment, make that white stripe out of retroreflective material, and builders/warehouse operatives etc can invest.

    This, is a multifunctional piece of fabric to me. Our away shirt isn't.

    One thing I miss that the club used to do on the open day was being able to walk round the changing rooms, around the ground and everything. Kids absolutely loved that

    Very good question . Seems they are failing to deliver on any of their promises judging by the friendly games.

    You live in a Wednesday household and moaning about seeing a pigs head on a spit roast. They should have put it Wednesday shirt on it.

    Bit disappointing. Not surprising though, based on past performance. Looks like I'll keep spending my ££ at Oakwell Sandwich then

    Let's hope if they don't sort it out sharpish that Ben Mansford uses his legal expertise to work out a way to break the contract with them. Give CGG a shot at running things. Reckon they would do a decent job!
