@kr62209 Bought my first ST since 2000 last weekend.

Are you getting a 26/27 SWFC season ticket?

One lap shootout to decide the winner - yet again you cannot beat the #Indy500 for drama and excitement in motorsport!

@rellorts @swfc @SWFCTrust Glad it wasn’t just me that found her amusing!

@BritPen @swfc @SWFCTrust Echoed. Thanks for giggling along like a pair of schoolgirls with me this evening.

I could listen to our CEO David Bruce talk all night. Intelligence, insight and common sense. We haven’t had someone running our club who has such positivity and enthusiasm in my entire lifetime. So inspiring! #swfc #swfctrust #agm @swfc @SWFCTrust

@dickyowl @SWFCTrust Congratulations mate 👍🏻

Absolutely delighted to have been elected onto the @SWFCTrust board and looking forward to getting started, starting with the AGM tomorrow. It’s a fantastic and exciting time to be involved with our Football Club. #swfc

@the_geeker 100% - at some point you have to think you’ve used up all your nine lives.

@BritPen I mean the man is beyond brave after what he’s endured. But sometimes you think racing isn’t for him ? 😂

Horrible smash in Indy500 Practice - thankfully Rossi, O’Ward and Grosjean are all ok. Safety cells doing an amazing job again. #Indy500

@the_geeker To be fair this wasn’t his fault 😆

@BritPen Grosjean spends more time in the wall than racing

@martin_sapcote @WTIDPOD 100% this. There is so much unused space back there. Space that could become commercial/retail space at footpath level and then the concourses on both the Kop and the North could be expanded significantly.

@WTIDPOD There is room for development on the back of the kop and the north. Don’t get why ppl say we need a new stadium. Maintain the heritage

🚧 If Hillsborough was to be redeveloped... 🫵🏼 What would you like to see?

@HallElliott @scuff7 It’s more about them being comfortable - which there’s nothing inherently wrong with. I just think it takes the edge off over time. I prefer players with a point to prove & an ambition to go as high as they can. Just my personal opinion & preference - not that it’s worth anything

@BritPen @scuff7 Language? education? perhaps euro wages don’t match the inconvenience for partner … Does “paying too well” also mean “attractive enough”?

I'll hold me hand up, I expected him moving on after this season past... Bloody glad my expectations were proved wrong!!

@scuff7 …before they retire.

@scuff7 Absolutely that could be the case. And it’s probably not as black and white as I’ve suggested. For me though, I’ve always liked the determination of the young guns who’ve not quite made it in NA with a point to prove combined with the older guys wanting to win something…

Just remember when the billionaires are telling you who to vote for, and who not to vote for, it’s to benefit them, not you.

@storchyowl @swfc Thank you. Thank you for everything. I’ve had some incredible experiences supporting Wednesday and Saturday was right up there with the best. It is a memory I will cherish forever.

Wanted to take some time to reflect on a day I’ve been dreaming of for months. Saturday was perfect. Will never be able to express how grateful I am for the warm welcome the @SWFC fans gave my family and me. The sun shone down on our wonderful club on Saturday. It was the experience of a lifetime to enjoy the moment with you all…. To share our new crest designed by the incredible local agency Peter and Paul…. To share the news that after an incredible collaborative effort between my team, the @EFL and BTG we will start next season on zero points!…. To introduce you to our incredible new CEO, David Bruce…. And to witness over 30,000 of my newest friends singing for 99 minutes straight as our Owls closed out such a difficult season with a win. I’d like to further highlight how grateful I am to the @EFL for their diligence and approach in working with us to ratify all issues and achieve our target of closing by 1 May. It takes a village; but without the commitment and tenacity of Asher Simons, Clive Betts MP and James Silverwood in particular, we would not be where we are today. It’s been an extremely emotional 48 hours for me after a long process, but now the focus is already completely on action. We are proceeding ahead immediately on all fronts and we will update you, the fans, as we go. You are the reason Michael and I are here, the reason we have fallen in love with this city and this club. We will do everything in our power to ensure we don’t let you down. David #wawaw #uto #swfc

@kr62209 Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person that has contributed to the outcome of this. There were times last year when I truly believed we were done. But the start of the administration process gave us hope. And now we have a future. Thank you 💙 #WAWAW

Apologies in advance - this is a long one. Now that the transaction is complete, I wanted to take a moment to thank the people who made what many thought was impossible… possible. This has been one of the most complex, demanding and important processes I’ve ever been involved in. It simply does not get done without a huge number of people going above and beyond. A few key aspects defined whether this club had a future: 1. Bringing S3 Limited into Administration alongside the Club - This allowed us to market and sell the Club and stadium together. Without it, the outcome could have been terminal. Thank you to New Avenue Projects for working with us to make this happen. 2. Funding the Club through the process Cash was critical. To the fans - thank you. You backed the Club when it mattered most, buying tickets and merchandise in huge numbers. To the individual who loaned £1 million - incredible support at a critical time. And to Henrik Pedersen - for his understanding and leadership when difficult football decisions had to be made. 3. Securing the outcome with the EFL A huge amount of work went into finding a solution that worked for all parties and protected the Club’s future. I want to thank a colleague (who would absolutely want to remain anonymous) for the creativity, technical expertise and, quite frankly, one of the most effective pieces of work I’ve ever seen in delivering a solution everyone could get behind. A number of advisers were outstanding: Wiggin LLP — David Hinchliffe and team. Relentless, often working through the night. Freeths (Sheffield Insolvency Team) - led by Oliver Jackson, assisting throughout but crucial in the final weeks. MD Law - Matthew Dixon (despite his football allegiances…), stepping in to solve a late-stage issue. BTG Eddisons, BTG Insurance Services & BTG Forensics - supporting throughout. Shorts Accountants - Scott Burkinshaw and team on tax. ⸻ My BTG team - quite simply exceptional. Jo Hammond, Mark Weekes, Paul Stanley, Julian Pitts, Phil Stone, Karis Cordery, Ben, Aidan, Niamh, Harry and many others. And the wider Sheffield office who picked up the slack while we lived and breathed Hillsborough for six months. ⸻ The Sheffield Wednesday staff have been nothing short of incredible. Henrik Pedersen - one of the best leaders and people I’ve worked with. We were competitive throughout - that’s down to him. Lindsey - “Mrs Sheffield Wednesday”. Tireless. ‘Stan’ - Mr Safety. Outstanding. Rob, Louise, James and so many more behind the scenes. I also want to mention Trevor Braithwaite and Alastair Wilson. Both have taken unfair criticism. They did their jobs professionally in extremely difficult circumstances, and the Club would not have functioned without them. James Wheelhouse - for answering our SOS when appointed and keeping the IT infrastructure together under real pressure. ⸻ A few others who played important roles: Lee Strafford - trusted counsel throughout. Alex Miller and Rob Staton - responsible journalism when it mattered. Lee Wildgoose, Matt Bruce, Chris Cotterill and many more. From the Trust - James Silverwood, Rob Brooke, Steven Chu. And finally, Asher Simons - he was on the other side of the deal but was a huge driving force and without a Wednesday fan either side, I’m not sure it would have got done.I’m proud to now call him a friend. ⸻ This has been a collective effort - but one driven by a clear objective from day one: to protect Sheffield Wednesday and give it a future. There is still a lot of work ahead (thankfully not for me 😀) But today, the Club has stability, a new owner, and a real platform to move forward. WAWAW

@Kerry55066719 @SWFCTrust Absolutely - hopefully no other club has to go through what we have, but we’ve shown that there is always hope when everyone comes and works together.

@BritPen @SWFCTrust Just shows the power of a fanbase if we all stand up and be countered. I heard about that protest only that morning on X and knew I had to be part of it and fight for my club. And look what was achieved. We did this, the fans & I hope this shows other fansbases the power we hold.

Where it started….how it’s going Just look at what a collective effort can accomplish in just 12 months. A huge thank you to @SWFCTrust and all the other groups that brought the fan base together. Never stop believing in what can be achieved. #SWFC #WAWAW

@swfccom_ …came together at a critical point and the efforts of all parties has brought us to where we are now. (Thankfully!)

@swfccom_ IMO the march was the catalyst that started the whole black & gold until its sold campaign. But Leicester away was the watershed moment when our plight properly gathered momentum. Honestly, I thought we were gone. I thought he would drive us into extinction. But the fanbase…

I remember seeing those posts outside the crucible. I’ll be honest & say I thought it was a waste of time fighting that pointless battle (or trying to at least). But I’m so glad that battle began because who knows what yesterday would’ve looked like without that #swfc
