    To be fair to Chansiri, he's opted to delve into the heritage of the club by reinventing the 1962-1963 Wednesday jersey. How many other foreign owners can you name who have done this?

    I'm not a football shirt wearer so it's not a big deal to me but I can understand the disappointment of some fans - although you wouldn't have known anyone was disappointed if you'd seen the queue at the club shop today!

    Chansiri is a legend already in my eyes, things like the new shirt are worth a mention but it takes nothing away from the chairman....like mick said, if we get promotion wearing that shirt then it'll be remembered very fondly by almost everyone, me included.

    'To be fair' what he's done is confirm what we already know, he's tone deaf to the mood of the fans - evidenced by ticketing prices and now this bizarre and unfathomable kit design choice.

    Reading between the lines, Chansiri like the Tan chap at Cardiff has a kit preference and sod tradition, Chansiri's preferred shirt being all blue. He'll see those tiny white pin stripes as more than enough of a compromise to you bunch of moaners.

    Yes because we are in no mood to be having quality players playing quality football under a quality manager...maybe he should be selling any talent that comes through & aim to get to & keep us in the pub league for six years while he pretends to know how to appoint a manager that can operate under his smothering leadership....that'll get us reyt in t'mood that will, can't wait.

    How does reinventing the 1962-1963 Wednesday jersey stick two finger up to tradition? Add to that the reverting back to a traditional crest from the 1950s and you couldn't be more wrong.

    add the fact that ticket prices have been frozen and with the new occassional £10 off for members (it could work out cheaper for the regular attending member) he's got it all wrong

    for what it worth, i think the shirts ok. if we were going to have change i would have liked hoops or the 60's one with white sleeves but thats splitting hairs as the new one is fine.

    The product on the pitch isn't the discussion topic aussie, just look at the Hull and Cardiff fans and their frustrations with their respective owners concurrently with successful sides. Call it what it is - Chansiri has wiped his backside on the tradition of the club.

    It makes me laugh that you honestly think that Chansiri wanted to homage a kit from the early 60s - it's absurd. Let me tell you what likely happened, Chansiri wanted you in an all blue shirt, probably due to some strange Oriental superstitious reason. He gets counsel from some club apparatchik about how to do this without upsetting the natives too much. It's so transparent Stevie Wonder can see it.

    The simple answer to that Katch is no he hasn't & he really hasn't.

    And the badge? How did he wipe his backside on the traditions of the club with that one?

    From the day Chansiri took control, he stated he would protect the traditions of the club and that's exactly what he's done and will do leading up to our 150th anniversary and beyond. Thai culture is all about respecting tradition.

    As I said, the ones moaning about the shirt were still queuing up to buy it in record numbers on Sunday so it can't be that bad.

    It makes me laugh that you are really running with this but I suppose it helps distract you from what's going on at the sty....you know, having to endure signings from the renowned footballing hotbed of Oldham (think we took the last one!) and the predictable start of season struggle to hold onto your best player before selling him on deadline day.

    Meanwhile, at S6, Chansiri continues to provide the financial clout needed to challenge at the top of this division. We can play in crop tops and flip flops for me if it means we get promoted!

    Is it worth trawling back through your posts to see what your opinion was of how your chairman was treating your club when he abandoned your dominant colour of red almost completely and as a result you had away teams coming to your ground and playing in red while you played in white?
    Or was that a justified traditional throwback? At least he has backed up his decision with moving the team forward in the psst few seasons though eh.....
