@SWFCTrust Come on STOCKPORT 👍

Good luck today Bolton Wanderers. We’ll never forget the support we received from certain clubs during our darkest hour, and Bolton were one of them. A genuine thank you from many Wednesdayites for that support when it mattered most. Class recognises class. 🤝 #SWFC #BWFC @OfficialBWFC

@kr62209 @howeybaby @BradfieldSWFC @added_on_time He does it for the responses, imagine that from a bloke 50+ 🙄

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. UTO

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.

Once upon a time, my little family was made up of 5...alive. I was 36 when this pic was taken, a week before my 10th wedding anniversary. All of my kids died before my 10th anniversary. Today I am 47& I am the only one left alive in this photo.

@Lanica333 @oehm_nee @PerfectFitFarm @isda1979 You should have stopped at “I’m sorry” you’ve got what you wanted, it’s ironic you believe in a God 🙄.

@oehm_nee @PerfectFitFarm @isda1979 Read my comment again. Particularly the first sentence.

😂

And I only get more and more impressed with everyday that goes by! David Bruce is the perfect fit for CEO of our fabulous club. He brings excellence to the club everyday. And a huge shout out to our main man @ashersimons for introducing us . @michaelestorch, Tom and I have been blessed with lots of great advisors throughout, we’ve made a ton of friends, it’s been an amazing experience… non possible without the guidance, support, passion and wisdom offered us by Sheffield’s own @ashersimons . To @ashersimons … thanks mate!

I put this on OwlsTalk but figured would ask here also. Is there any way for me to buy and then donate a season ticket to a fan in need? Would love to help a fellow fan out! #swfc #wawaw

@AnnDrogyne @doris_from Oh, Ann, you’ve had a mare here 😂

@doris_from That's Angela Rippon you noddy,

RIP Judith Chalmers. 90 years young. Really wish you were still here! A Damehood was surely just around the corner. Sweet dreams Judith.

9 years ago today, 8 year old Saffie-Rose was taken to her first concert to see Ariana Grande. She didn’t come home.❤️

@WTIDPOD I’m going on a European tour I’ll drop him off

What would your reaction be if Olaf Kobacki was to leave? Is he someone you think we should try to keep for League One?

@ryanjthomas83 It goes…”More holidays than Judith Charmers”

If anyone we knew took more than one holiday a year my mother would dub them Judith Chalmers

@AlexJPMiller 😂

Bit beggy, Gids.
