    Just read that Sheffield council won’t grant the north stand a safety certificate, where will the millions sit now?

    I'm surprised it's taken so long to condemn it. They talk about our West Stand being "tinpot", but at least we stopped fans sitting in the unsafe bit.

    Meeting of the SAG group took place yesterday, announcement of the decision is next week but it doesn't look good.

    Season ticket holders already asking questions about refunds but t&c's state no refunds and they can be moved to Other areas of the ground.

    There's no money for refunds anyway

    You know the saying - 'You reap what you sow' obviously Wendies didn't think it applied to such a MASSIVE club

    I’m astounded that they’ve failed to pay wages on numerous occasions, owe the tax man millions and have safety issues with the stadium, and there’s still been no points deduction.

    Get them gone. Horrible fúcķers.

    There was no unsafe bit was there? Just not the minimum allowed bog facilities?

    Can't remember the full story JD. Just remember being evicted from my ST seat and then stories about why the other half was shut

    That might be the only place for the Wednesday fans to sit.

    Point is we went by the book, no issues. Wednesday haven't put a lick of paint on that s***ehole in about 50 years and still expect people to regard them as some grand entity. And now it's biting them good

    Like what has already being said you reap what you sow.

    Were these fans who are demanding season ticket refunds complaining when they were signing Gary Hooper Fernando Forestieri Jordan Rhodes Lucas Joao and Adam Reach for millions and paying them massively inflated wages?

    Well as things stand for the massives with just 3 weeks until the season starts they have-

    a manager who wants out.

    An impending £2million tax bill.

    Fans demanding season ticket refunds.

    A collapsing north stand on the verge of being closed down.

    Playing and club staff not knowing from one month to another if they are being paid.

    A 3 window transfer embargo.

    A squad of just 15 first team players that includes just 1 keeper and 5 of the squad aged 21 or under plus a long term inured centre half.

    No financial income as their early bird season ticket offer was in December and that has all gone.

    An owner with no money or clue.

    No sign of a takeover anytime soon.


    But apart from that..........
