Without going all pseudo-intellectual; at the heart of it, football is all about the shared human experience. Today will be one of those. Enjoy it; wear something daft, have another drink, cuddle a stranger.
Who truly knows what comes next, but for today who cares? Today is about the last year and the scale of shared achievement. It's about how people worked together and kept the thing breathing. And it's about the renewal of hope and possibility.
Park protests, leaflets, boycotts, embassies, Leicester, Boro, Megastore sell-outs, Oxford, endless togetherness on endless doomed away trips. Fear, defiance, faith. Personally, I'm proud and privileged to have witnessed the whole lot.
Today's society feels increasingly individual and cold and uninterested in the value of community. It wasn't without its moments, but the overwhelming feeling is that Sheffield Wednesday's 2025/26 travails brought it all back. Awesome in the true sense of the word.
UTO.

“I am still here for our club, for the future of all of us … I do not have the intention to sell, I love this club. But if today, tomorrow or another day in the future, if there is someone out there better, more suitable and has the potential to take care of our club, I am ready to pave the way for Sheffield Wednesday to move forward from a stronger position.
I am happy to leave if Sheffield Wednesday is left in a better place. It is not just about the price, it is about the right individual or group to take our club forward. And if someone was to come forward, I can assure you I am happy to listen and happy to talk.”

🟡⚫️ Banners at Hillsborough ⚫️🟡
The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust recently wrote to the club requesting clarity on whether supporters could bring fire rated, none-offensive protest banners into Hillsborough.
Peaceful protest is a legal right. Across the country, supporters of many clubs have displayed banners – even in the darkest moments of ownership and mismanagement. It is part of football culture, part of fan expression, and part of what makes supporters the lifeblood of their clubs.
Incredibly, Sheffield Wednesday Football Club has rejected this request.
This stance is almost unprecedented. Even some of the most notorious football owners in the UK have never gone as far as to attempt to silence their own fans in this way. Hillsborough risks becoming the first stadium in the country where supporters are denied the right to display their opposition.
Contrast this with Wrexham AFC, who initially blocked our banner request earlier this season. After listening to their fans and recognising how strongly the wider football community feels about the right to protest, they quickly rectified their decision. That is how a club connected to its community behaves.
This decision is another clear echo of Dejphon Chansiri’s style of leadership: an unwillingness to listen, a refusal to engage, and a mindset that more resembles that of a dictator than the custodian of a proud community institution.
Our club should not be run like a dictatorship. It belongs to the fans and the generations who have built its history. Silencing supporters will not make the problems go away. It only deepens the divide between the terraces and the boardroom.
We urge all fans to continue to make their voices heard – inside and outside the stadium – until Dejphon Chansiri sells the club.

“We had a lot of conversations as a family and when I told my daughter Elsie that I might be leaving she started crying. Then last night when I told her I was staying she started crying again. I asked her why and she said they are just happy tears.” 💙
Well well well.
Not one to comment on that lot really…but
Remember when he went on a twenty minute rant about being miles in front and about data ?
Well Chris, the data tells me that we’ll see you in August. If they do t sack you for failing.
Gap? What gap?
