But the broom moves, and we shouldn’t.

Never leave. Hillsborough will become like Fenway Park in baseball, which is an incredible place, people will consider it the home of the game. The last of the ‘proper grounds’. It needs to be rebuilt yes, but one stand at a time. Don’t leave or we lose that link, one of the pieces that is part of what’s special about Sheffield Wednesday.

This - there was a spell of a couple of season where you couldn’t just buy the derby ticket, you had to buy 3 or 4 other games around it too as a kind of package. That didn’t go down well with a lot of fans, who just watched it on TV instead.

Difference is this was sung by the fans, not played over the tannoy. tinpot is taking something like WAWAW which Wednesdayites have said for a very long time, stealing it and saying ALAW.

From Verdi’s Aida called ‘Triumphal march’. Absolutely love it, I think the band actually do try to play it after goals still, but nobody can hear the tune from the trumpet because the drums are so loud. but yes, 100% from me, love it when the Kop is all stood up singing this straight after a goal. Proper 90’s stuff.

Leave it alone, don’t change a thing.

Well I’ve only sat on the Kop for 25 years, it’s certainly been a lot more recent than that. I think the last time I saw a seller walking around was more like 5 ish years.

Yes there used to be in the Kop, a guy used to walk round during the match.

I remember when Donny were at Belle Vue and used to get 3,000 in non league. Mostly teenagers because it was often 1p to get in for under 16’s (they didn’t actually ask for the penny).

It’s the drums, we’re in the back half of the Kop, and even there we can only just make out what song it is the trumpets playing. the drums drown everything out, so everyone ends up just clapping with it. Get rid of the drums, keep the trumpets. I tell you it’ll be a winner for everyone.

We went in just after 6 and got pie and pint, but not long after tried to get another drink and the queues just don’t move. So slow, loads give up, including us. Needs sorting, club needs the money.

Pie and Pint was great, but the people we asked at first when we got in just after 6pm on the Kop had no idea there was a deal on. ‘I think that’s just in the south stand’. Just shows how much Chansiri has cut this club to the bones. No blame anywhere else, it will improve! Pie and pint were great, should’ve bought 2 before the queues got too big!

Great shout this, make it happen Owlstalk!

They must play the ‘We are Sheffield Wednesday video’ against just before kick off. With the same music they used last week. (Just minus the Chansiri bit) Really tells the history of the club. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17Ywy6wscG/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I looked yesterday, they only had one of the central blocks on sale and had only sold about 2/3rds of it. If that’s the case then probably only a few hundred.
