@YesWeCrann it’s not as silly as the last 12 months. At least these silly season ones can be a bit of fun

[Ian Pegg @HistoryPegg]

@Leekie1867 @SWFCTrust @MarkJudge01 @CharlotteOwls Bloody brilliant that man. Massive clap. @CharlotteOwls

[Ash Rogers @RogersAsh]

So underrated the work these guys do for the wider community.
Loved partnering with these guys on many projects but my favourite has to be getting my mate 🎅🏼 to visit 😉

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@Briggsy1867 @BuildsByKB So far there hasn’t been any contact with the regional groups so I’m unsure

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

Someone based in the southwest would only need to travel to 14 games at home this coming season to have covered more miles than someone traveling from Hillsborough to every away game.

For some they go to every home and away game. That would be the same number of miles this would be roughly the same as flying to Perth and back.

For some it’s even further.

This is why we can’t let the fans away from Sheffield get forgotten about. #swfc

@TheWordSWFC @Danfudge from TWW telling @YesWeCrann from TWW about OITY that is organised by TWW.

[North Yorkshire Owls @NorthYorksOwls]

The season has ended but @LGBT_Owls is still working.

What an amazing group, where you have come from to where you are now is amazing and don’t let that be taken from you or your community.!

All the best for 26/27

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@Danfudge Yeah. Another Simon (this one with an I)

[Sheffield Wednesday @swfc]

Never in doubt 💪

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@CharlotteOwls @germanowl21 @TWWcast would be able to sort this no problem

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@MatJesper2343 True “fan” representation comes from different experiences and representations.
If the owners want to have someone they have worked well with on the board fine. That’s between them, after all it their choice.
But as an individual.

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

One of things to consider as to why some fans are fearful of a single fans group being represented on the club board is because we have been there before in a slightly differnt guise.

In fact the scars of that fallout are still felt even within the board of the Trust now.

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

I don’t agree with it personally. The Trust need to remain independent and only answering to their members.
If the role is one that is advertised and fair process for people to apply then voted for then great. But this feels motivated for personal gain and I fear the new ownership don’t understand the political motivations of parts of the fanbase.
We only have to go back to the Dave Allen times to see that and many of the same people are dancing around it

[North Yorkshire Owls @NorthYorksOwls]

1/5
Noisy today around fan engagement/ joining the board.

Personally I think that we’re in an amazing position with the new owners, they are keen and listening which is more than the previous owner,

Us fans need to learn from previous mistakes and respect other fan groups!

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@NorthYorksOwls 😵😵😵 happy to be part of a wider group but that role isn’t one I agree with 🤣

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@civetta @jakerowl1 Tbf they don’t cover the event in question

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@steelermark @jakerowl1 That looks an interesting model thanks for sharing

[Jon Wakefield @jon_wakefield]

@civetta @jakerowl1 Thank you that’s really helpful. I think however it’s different when the trust have been so active in helping to bring the current owners in.
