I think it’s naive to assume our fans wouldn’t react in a similar wayThere's a difference between having racist fans which every club will have and how they acted.
It was less than 1%
Well a few is clearly more than 2 or 3 but its not the majority that are the lifeblood of the club.
They did it to several players. As you can see from the comments from their own supporters it wasn't just a few.
Some people have very short memories when needed.

Really? Any evidence to you show this or are you yet again being an insufferable fucking weirdo?I think it’s naive to assume our fans wouldn’t react in a similar way
I just doubt that either Sheffield Wednesday’s fanbase, or ours, is somehow uniquely thick or enlightened on this subject.Really? Any evidence to you show this or are you yet again being an insufferable fucking weirdo?
You are a proper pub bore mate.
Exactly. The ratio of idiots to normal fans will be similar in all fanbases.I just doubt that either Sheffield Wednesday’s fanbase, or ours, is somehow uniquely thick or enlightened on this subject.
When you can show that the majority of our fans (and it was the majority of them at that game) will boo a player for basically being racially abused then you may have a point.I just doubt that either Sheffield Wednesday’s fanbase, or ours, is somehow uniquely thick or enlightened on this subject.
I mean, It’s the same fanbase who chanted “She said yes, Marlon”When you can show that the majority of our fans (and it was the majority of them at that game) will boo a player for basically being racially abused then you may have a point.
Until then please forgive but you are talking shite.
I agree that Sheffield Wednesday do seem to have a larger than average unpleasant aspect to their support.Well a few is clearly more than 2 or 3 but its not the majority that are the lifeblood of the club.
There are normal people like me and other posters at that club. I feel sorry for them.
It was less than 1% abusing him, it was far more than that booing him and defending the abuse/booing online.
This is 2025 Britain, racism just isn't a dealbreaker for a lot of people anymore I suppose.

A sizeable proportion of the crowd that night booed him.. Extrapolate that to their 150k fansIt was no more than 1% booing him.
It wasn’t the first time he was booed and it won’t be the last
Even on the pitch by the sounds of it.Yeah sit anywhere

knowing us we will beat blues leicesetr and millwall and then lose this.Hahaha lol. Be typical of us to lose this one
Never want to lose any game but I'd take thatknowing us we will beat blues leicesetr and millwall and then lose this.
Why would they give us three points from that game?That's not what happened with Blackpool and Reading...

I said it before, and he clearly ignored it as it didn't fit his narrative. Sheffield is the 4th biggest city by population in England with a population of 757,000. 150k is only 20% of the city. This doesn't include all the small pit towns and villages on the outskirts that are dotted with owls and Blunts alike.I’m not sure why you think that’s an exaggerated number.
How many fans do you think we have?
Should we maybe employ this scenario as a tactic then?If they score early on they won’t invade the pitch , but if we equalise or go in front they will .
Well if your going and not prepared to take the gamble knowing this might happen, then go and get your money back or sell your ticket.There are other ways they can protest. I'd say equally impactful to all go in early, sing and cheer then leave on the whistle to start the game. If they do that, I don't mind clapping in solidarity, but I guess those who are saying we should support the game being abandoned won't be travelling. It means wasting time, effort and money to then most like have to travel again.
FixedTalking to some Wednesday fan's yesterday at the Oasis gig.
They are 100% expecting the game to be abandoned. It's definitely maybe what they are looking to achieve.
I guess the club can't even afford to police it either so can't see the stewards doing much to stop it.Talking to some Wednesday fan's yesterday at the Oasis gig.

We never got a game abandoned but we caused plenty of disruption during the sisu out years.I'm not convinced many of the near 4000 away fans paying £35 will be happy.

We've no right to complain if it comes to that and nor should we.
You just said yourself we never caused an abandonment, causing that is a step too far. It affects the working people who will then have to travel on a Tuesday night more than it affects the millionaire who clearly doesn't give a shit about fna feels anyway.
