@GP1867 @secondtierpod @alex_crook As a blade we’ve sold loads of young players for a fraction of what there worth. How do you rate him as a keeper? Could he be a consistent premier league player?

Man City are looking into signing Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles. Charles used to be on the books at City, who are looking into the replacement of James Trafford should he leave this summer. (Via: @alex_crook)

@CentralScruty Because why would we spend hundreds of pounds that needs maintaining when we'll use it for a maximum of two weeks of the year

Strange, I post A LOT less than you. Maybe block me? it is after all what that function is for. Although, whilst we are at it, I did find your constant negativity and brain dead, incorrect attention seeking posts over the past 6 months a tad nauseating. I didn’t block you though (even after some of your meddling messages with your mate were forwarded to me) because reminding myself what I was up against, gave me extra resolve to complete the task in hand.

SWFC have sold 15,000 season tickets in less than a week and should comfortably exceed the 21,000 target. I’ve seen some supporters asking: “Is that definitely good financially? Wouldn’t fewer season tickets and more matchday sales generate more revenue?” The answer is nuanced. In pure theory, if 25,000 fans all paid matchday prices every game, revenue would exceed 25,000 season ticket holders. But football economics are not that simple. The key question is, How many season ticket holders would actually attend regularly without a season ticket? I was amazed to learn that historically at least 10% of Wednesday season ticket holders do not attend every home game. So let’s use some rough but reasonable assumptions based on the last League One season when Wednesday averaged 25,378 attendance: 2,000 away fans at an average yield of £20 (remember VAT is excluded and you have concessions, kids etc) = £0.9m revenue 4,000 home matchday sales at an average yield of £23 across 23 games (higher average price than away tickets) = £2.1m revenue 500 commercial customers that we will discount from this summary. 500 complimentary tickets (press, scouts, agents etc). That leaves roughly 18,378 season ticket holders. At an estimated average net yield of £300 per season ticket (after VAT, concessions etc), that equals:- £5.5m season ticket revenue Total estimated ticket revenue: £8.5m Now compare that to 21,000 season tickets sold. That alone would generate roughly £6.3m Meaning Wednesday would only need around £1.3m additional home matchday revenue (assuming away revenue is the same). That equates to fewer than 2,500 additional matchday tickets per game to match the revenue above. Given expected demand, that seems highly likely. And that is before considering:- increased sponsorship value higher corporate demand stronger kiosk sales higher merchandise revenue improved cashflow certainty Because Hillsborough’s capacity is significantly above Wednesday’s historic average attendance, there is little doubt in my mind that higher season ticket sales are overwhelmingly positive financially. Personally, I think Wednesday will exceed 23,000 season tickets. It shows what is possible with: sensible pricing positive messaging optimism and reconnecting supporters with the club.

A phenomenal effort! Launched less than a week ago... 15,000 already! 👏

The fact that one of the few teams that zero-point Sheffield Wednesday managed to get something from will be in the Premier League next season just shows what a crazy place the Championship is.

@michaelswann2 @FootballLeagueW It doesnt exactly mean anything anyway, but in terms of historical significance we're comfortably in the top 20, most would agree with that

@GP1867 @FootballLeagueW I accept your argument that if you count the thousands and clubs you’re near the top but maintain that top 20 is a stretch you are probably at about 20th and a lot of clubs can argue being in and around there

@michaelswann2 @FootballLeagueW Bournemouth are a much better club than us on everything in the modern day, but a good 10 years doesn't trump 160. Hence why we are the bigger club over history. It was you originally claiming we arent one of the biggest in the country which is just a complete lie
