Hi does anyone no the cheapest way to get to Leicester Rtn from sheff. I've just had a quick look and it come out at £28. I'm sure theirs a better deal so post your findings please
-
Sorry sausage fingers it's obviously KOP and I'm as worried as any one about the performances but DJ is turning it round slowly UTO
-
I went down tailtone road earlier and was sat at the lights outside the kop as usual I looked at our mighty stadium. My heart sank when I noticed another 20ft sign had been bolted to the kop this one advertising a soliseters that's got to be 4-5 signs bolted on the kop now. Ok it's obviously worth a few quid to the club but why can't they for example go on top of the turnstyles or on the perimeter fence of the mega store instead of makeing my beloved faded kop look like a flippingnotice board UTO
-
Guess who our new striker is going to be.
Highgreen replied to Beholder's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Leroy lita is the ideal choice fast as flip -
Sorry I miss read it but the black home shorts did have the owl that was my sons first one 0-3 months
-
-
Ye its a poor situation I can cope with a bit of trim missing but not the owl badge that's what my son associates to when I say Wednesday. I will seriously think twice about getting the away strip if they have butcherd them shorts
-
+ if they sold them separate nobody would by the primark shorts uto
-
Deffo on my sons black strip
-
It's wee wee poor my son as had the last 4 home& away kits all of which were identical to the adult strip. This season they up the price by a fiver and give us a pair of primark shorts. Well my boy will be wearing last seasons because the plain black ones look pants
-
Nice one mate let me no if you get any response uto
-
Yes I noticed the same thing when I got my infant kit I asked the woman behind the counter why their was no owl badge. She said they don't put them on infant kits so I checked his old kits when I got holm and they all had the owl badge. Like you say it's a bit of a tail at £35
-
Before I trail to the megastore ......
Highgreen replied to Vaughan's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
For any one buying the full kit check the shorts have the badge on. I bought a toddler kit and their is no Wednesday badge. I asked the woman at the shop and she said they don't put them on toddler kits. So when I got home I checked his other 4 kits and they all have the owl and I'm sure it's usually £30 now it's £35 -
I was told down at the shop this morning that there's 5000 going on sale at 9am tommorow so their must be some seats closed for segregation because upper & lower hold more than 5k don't they ?
-
Railway open at 9:30 I think but it's ticket only
-
Just gone past at 6am there were aprox 50-60 queuing from the gate towards the kop. Well done boys the 800 will be gone by 9:30
-
Errrr high green S35 were all wednesday here you no !!!
-
Ok thanks I will give the new batch a try
-
yes the ones in the shop do say fits 4 & 4s but as I said it obstructs the silent button on the 4s. I showed the women behind the counter & she agreed it doesn't fit
-
The iPhone 4 case is no good for the 4s due to the silent switch been in a slightly different position I've tried it and it obstructs accses to the switch

Megson's pride! How Gary is thriving at his 'special' home club By MICHAEL WALKER Last updated at 11:26 PM on 15th December 2011 Comments (0) Share strode up 86 steps to reach the middle of the Kop at Hillsborough. There he stopped, turned around to face the pitch and said: 'I saw Franz Beckenbauer playing for West Germany against Switzerland in 1966 here, I saw Jack Whitham score four against Man United - George Best, Bobby Charlton and all. It was 5-4, the best game ever, my Dad was playing.' Megson was beaming. The name of Hillsborough resonates far beyond football for an obvious reason, yet for Sheffield Wednesday fans it remains home. Kop that: takes new players to this spot for an impressive view Make no mistake, is a Wednesday fan. The son of Don, who captained the club in the 1966 FA Cup final, played more than 250 times for Wednesday in two spells. He lives in Sheffield, has always supported the club and in February became manager. Wednesday were set to finish 15th in League One and, in Megson's words, 'needed an overhaul'. The club had, he says with some pain, lost a bit of 'class'. Part of Megson's response to Wednesday's diminished status explains why he was sitting midway up Hillsborough's sprawling Kop: this is what Megson does with new signings. On the pitch and off it, the 52-year-old is on a retrieval mission. 'I just walk them up and tell them not to look back until we get to this position,' he says. 'The impact - even for those who've played on it against us - to see it from this angle, is special. There are some fantastic new stadiums but they haven't got the soul of this place. Empty, it's an impressive sight; with Wednesday supporters in it, in my view, there's nowhere better in the world.' Happy days: Megson has great affection for Hillsborough Megson's evangelism will be understood and appreciated by locals and by an older generation, but can it chime with young players who know Wednesday lost here to Brentford in front of less than 15,000 in March? The reality is that a club with such history and a 40,000-capacity stadium have not been in the Premier League since the year 2000. 'The modern-day player might not get it,' says Megson. 'But this is my club, my town. Sheffield Wednesday means the world to me. 'The idea of bringing players up here is to get that message into them very quickly. Yes, we are a League One club, but even if we were riding high in the Championship, it is not where these supporters and this stadium should be. This is a special, special place.' As Megson says, even when empty, Hillsborough is impressive. Opened in 1899, it takes in - just - three centuries. The great architect Archibald Leitch, designer of Highbury and Ibrox among many other grounds, completed the main South Stand in 1914. The ornate clock and copper ball statuette still tops Hillsborough. Home comforts: Megson's team have an impressive record at Hillsborough On Saturday, for the visit of Huddersfield, they expect 27,000 - some crowd for the old Third Division - but there were once 73,000 inside for an FA Cup-tie against Manchester City. Along the way tennis and boxing have been staged. In the 1960s the Harlem Globetrotters even played basketball on the pitch. There have not been too many Meadowlark Lemons of late in blue and white stripes. But the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster can never be overlooked and Megson says Wednesdayites do not try to forget. Ninety-six Liverpool fans died and British grounds changed for ever. 'We have had some great times on here but obviously there have been some really sad things gone on here too,' says Megson. 'For us, this is a magnificent place and yet it is known for one of the saddest occasions ever.' Megson stares down the ground to the now infamous Leppings Lane End about 150 yards away and adds: 'It's just so, so sad.' But Leppings Lane will be filled again with Huddersfield fans. A home win - and Megson's new team have 25 points from a possible 27 so far at Hillsborough this season - would cement Wednesday in second place behind Charlton and take them seven points clear of their Yorkshire rivals. The season, however, is not at its halfway mark and Megson is not about to say that Wednesday have bottomed out. 'You can only say that once you've gone on. Yes, we're a lot better, a lot fitter and the players have a lot more desire about them. But we are in League One. 'It's wrong to have kneejerk reactions and last season I got carried away when I came back and said we could still make the top six. After 45 minutes I knew it was more like the bottom six. Things needed to change - a lot of things. 'But unless you have the sort of money Fulham had to buy their way out of the divisions then it takes time, fair play to Al Fayed.' Milan Mandaric, who bought the club a year ago, has money - and a court case with Harry Redknapp in January - but Mandaric and Megson were shocked by the lack of infrastructure when they took over. There was no scouting system. Megson praises Sheffield United's youth development as 'brilliant' and says he found it 'soul-destroying to see an England squad with Gary Cahill, Kyle Walker and Kevin Davies in it -Sheffield boys but none had been through Wednesday'. That has been addressed but Megson's emphasis is on first-team recovery. Its potential success can drive the club up again. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2074713/Gary-Megson-thriving-Sheffield-Wednesday.html#ixzz1gfz5ilhF
