From the end of the road where I write the Affordable Football blog I can see the Hillsborough home of Sheffield Wednesday FC and with a workplace dominated by Owls fans it is a club whose fortunes I always keep an eye on.
A number of those workmates are occasional rather than regular visitors to the S6 home of their team so hopefully a couple of pre-Christmas offers will tempt a few of them along. Wednesday's home gates are consistently good, of course, given the struggles they have had over the past decade but with a cavernous stadium to fill it does take some imagination to ensure fewer empty spaces.
Handed a rescheduled home game seven days before Christmas by Wigan's earlier participation in the Europa League, the Owls have done exactly the right thing by reducing all ticket prices to £10 for adults and £5 concessions especially as there is another home fixture against Bournemouth just a few days later.
That has been designated as a 'Kids For A Quid' game while Season Ticket Holders can bring a friend for £10.
In the interests of fairness, Sheffield United also have a deal on over Christmas whereby a ticket purchased for the Boxing Day clash against Oldham Athletic means one can be brought for the game against Tranmere Rovers on Sunday 29 December for £10.
