[Dreams of 1995]

I have seen a lot of memes around the facts of Venkys ownership 👏 all straight to the point

Now an Uncle Jacks legacy series please

Football web pages has our average home league attendance at 13959 for this season 25/26 Nearly two thousand less than those quoted figures.

we should boycott the sheff wed game imo,symbolic that the game has to be replayed because of a decaying infastructure and chronic lack of interest in investment from our owners over the last 15 years

We should  boycott as many as possible!

Boycotting one game does nothing. ALL games need boycotting.

Don't disagree with you there, but targeted boycotts are usually much more effective.

[mhead]

Many prolific posters on here just disappeared(remember Hughesy etc etc).

A selective, targeted boycott is much more newsworthy than just letting people drift away, like they will,

The dynamite number at the moment is -how many ST holders are not going at the moment?

Think about that number off the attendance next year. The regime cannot hide that from the Owners!!

Relatively minor, but another example of the incompetence at the club - not deleting a cued post when the women's game was announced as postponed yesterday

I don't know if I'm being nitpicky by this point, but shouldn't Barcode Logistics have their logo in this graphic? It's like there's no quality checking of any sort

You might need to click on the image itself and then it will display, I think that's just how it's showing on your Facebook app.

Where we are today highlights why Venkys are so bad for the club. Team shot to pieces, dwindling attendances but from their perspective its unlikely they are even thinking about the club until the review every year or six months. And when those reviews occur they are unlikely to know how to or particularly care about improving things.

Yes they've put a lot of money, and great they have, but an owner engaged and involved in the day to day would be driving the leadership team to solve the issues. Absentee landlords have never been a way to run anything well.

Id rather have half the money each year but an owner proactively thinking and acting to solving the problems the club faces. Not sitting around for half a year and half the world away for them to then have virtually zero useful input.

Sums up my logic perfectly. When I say ‘I’d rather have administration’, this is what I’m thinking about.

Well, my own family are amazed to hear that I have jibbed four out of the last five home games.

Venky's and Suhail won't have a clue, but if someone like me is doing that, there really is a problem..

Very likely that they won't  renew. That should get somebody somewhere thinking....

We need to stay up or Pasha et Al would blame the lower number on relegation.

I have done the same. 
 

I think you are right.

The owners are hell bent on relegation, you are right though, the fans will be blamed! 

[JHRover]

The owners will have no idea. Their financial team would take note of lost ticket revenue in the event of relegation or a serious fall in season tickets. Suhail may be put under some pressure to explain why and crucially won't secure his bonus. Then they'll sell a player or two or cut wages to plug the gap and carry on.

The only potential unknown here is what happens if/when we reach League One or stay there for a while whether the drop and further £10 million+ drop in revenue is sufficient for the top owners to take notice and action e.g. leave, or whether it just involves further cost cuts and sales to plug the gap. I suspect the latter but we will find out in the not-too-distant future.

You might be able to compete at this level on a limited shoestring budget and non-benefactor model if the ownership and board are competent and engaged. But combine it with what we have and you've no chance. You might be able to compete with clueless idiots running the club if the money being pumped in is sufficient to assemble a good squad. But make futile attempts to be 'self-sufficient' at this level it will end in failure.

Whilst it was in the PL, I think The Walker Trust years are (to a point) proof of this.

Ditto me & my daughter, both ST holders.

As they say, when the fun stops, stop.

We won a major trophy and qualified for Europe with the Walker Trust so I can't see why you think that.

You can’t see how us doing so on a limited budget (in relation to those we were competing with) shows that you can compete on a limited budget if the senior management etc is competent?
