The London Owls are planning a protest against Dejphon Chansiri’s ownership of our wonderful football club.
We might be 160-plus miles from Hillsborough but our members feel just as strongly as those thousands closer to S6 that ‘Enough is Enough’ and unless Chansiri sells up soon then the club faces the prospect of financial ruin.
So, after the protests organised by the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust for the first two league games of the season, we are now drawing up plans for our own demonstration in London.
The date will be September 4, the anniversary of the day we were founded back in 1867, and what better venue than the Thai Embassy in London to show our feelings about our owner and why he needs to leave the club as soon as possible.
The protest is scheduled to run from 4-5pm and it would be great to see as many London Owls as possible there on the day.
The embassy is at 29-30 Queen’s Gate, South Kensington, London SW7 5JB. It’s about a ten-minute walk from Gloucester Road tube station and 27 and 70 buses stop nearby.
There will be Wednesdayites in London and the South-East who aren’t members of the London Owls so haven’t seen previous messages about a protest. Please join up if you live in the capital or surrounds, it costs no more than the price of a pint, we organise match travel, have darts, pool and quiz teams and full details of how to sign up are on our website www.londonowls.co.uk
There may also be Wednesday fans who don’t live in the area but will or can be in London on that date. If so, please feel free to join us outside the Thai Embassy … the more the merrier.
If you can make it on September 4 then you can contact Alan Burgess, Phone/WhatsApp: 07850 713054 and he’ll send you a link to our WhatsApp protest group.
In addition, we are in conversation with the Supporters’ Trust in Sheffield and will be getting in touch with media contacts in both the UK and Thailand to maximise publicity about the planned protest.
Let’s ensure we make our voices heard and our feelings known and play our part in helping to ‘Get Chansiri Out Of Our Club’.
WAWAW!
