who was worst out of the two referees we've had this season. v Portsmouth he lost control towards the end of the second half, booked anything in blue and white that moved (4 yellows and a red) and I thought Gregory won the ball which led to his sending off although that could've been for something he said and no bookings for the opposition. v MK Dons the only thing going for him was giving us a dodgy penalty that looked outside the box but again booked everything that moved in a Wednesday shirt (4 yellows) and none again for the opposition, let play go on twice when a Wednesday player went down injured (not a head injury so rightly so despite our fans moaning) but then when two MK Dons players went down injured (not a head injury) he stopped play. No consistency whatsoever!!! At this rate we'll have half the team out injured and the other half suspended! WAWAW

I heard people saying they had blocked access to the man’s toilets on our floor and were making fans trudge down the hundreds of steps to the bottom to access mens toilets and so fans were claiming to be “gender fluid” or whatever they call it these days and using the ladies toilets instead. If true that just shows how stupid this sexual identity thing has become and find it funny fans took advantage although I’m guessing the woman weren’t happy. On a side note, I bought a beer from the kiosk before the game but there were no price lists displayed so you had no idea what they had or how much anything was and they had the cheek to charge £4.60 for a bottle of carling. Isn’t it illegal not not have a price list displayed? I just googled and found this … This guidance is for England, Scotland and Wales Where goods are offered for sale to consumers they must have their price clearly indicated and be inclusive of VAT. This is controlled by the Price Marking Order 2004, which applies to goods only and is limited to sales between traders and consumers im guessing Sunderland upped the price for the game as don’t remember it being that expensive for the league game.

It's absolutely true, the EFL stipulate a minimum allocation of 10% of the stadium up to 2,000 tickets but more can be given dependant on the two clubs. Sunderland opted to just give the minimum 2,000 tickets so Wednesday said you get the same.

It's down to Sunderland who restricted the allocation to 2,000 despite what I read on your message board saying it was Wednesday who had dictated the allocation. Remember when we played you in the League Cup a few years ago and despite there being less than 14,000 in attendance, Wednesday only received a similar allocation when there were over 30,000 empty seats. Sunderland would've had the Upper and Lower Tier of Leppings Lane if they'd reciprocated the allocation amount.

Read about half the thread. What I witnessed yesterday was several flares thrown including one that landed at Berahino’s feet as he lay on the floor, apparently he had been hit by another missile. I was hit on the back by a 50p coin thrown by our own fans, luckily it didn’t hurt me and with my cost on hardly felt it and annoyingly someone picked it up before me l.o.l. At the end of the game bottles, coins, lighters and I even saw part of a seat were being thrown from both home and away fans. The steward stood near me was just a body in blue steward waistcoat and did nothing whilst loads of fans walked past him with two or three pints of beer into the stand, fans who are too thick or drunk to be able to read a ticket and find a seat totally blocked the gangway all through the game which resulted in a mass surge when we scored and people went down multiple steps and there could quite easily have been broken bones. Outside it was kicking off again and I saw our fans squaring up to police which is never gonna end up well for them. Also, just seen on Twitter that Tango ended up in hospital after the game and someone has mentioned Police being heavy handed so don’t know what happened there.

Some of the comments from our so called fans a few seasons ago were just pathetic and even earlier this season the "he's found his level" remarks . He's a young lad learning his trade and goalkeepers usually reach their peak in their 30's so he's a long way to go yet. People so easily forgot the clangers Westwood used to make every now and again but were straight on Dawson and Wildsmith's back if they did anything wrong.

Been in all areas of Hillsborough for games All 4 stands at The Sty All 4 sides at St. James Park (away fans 93/94 season had a small section on Gallowgate End whilst they rebuilt away end) All 4 at Millmoor Not quite all 4 stands but have done 3 at the following of which some were reserve games or friendlies Oakwell The Dell Upton Park Villa Park Selhurst Park Withdean Stadium Old Trafford Field Mill Valley Parade Elland Road Priestfield

I’d say any Wednesday fan going down and taking possibly two days off work is crazier than the Plymouth fans who set off at 3:15am to attend Sunday’s game, I mean if they have a 9 to 5 job they’d not need to take anytime off work. For the record I’ll be going and it’ll be my third night match at Home Park watching Wednesday

Think it's 18' and over only pre-match mate.

Strange things happen in football I guess

Regarding Shrewsbury Town on Saturday :- They were our bogey team in the 70's and 80's and of the 8 home league games we've played them in our history our record is :- Won 0 Drawn 6 Lost 2 Our away record against them isn't much better :- Won 1 Drawn 4 Lost 3 Onto Ipswich - The last game we won out of South Yorkshire was Bournemouth on February 2nd. We've had 14 away games since then only winning at Barnsley last season and Rotherham a few weeks ago. Really wetted my appetite for the long trips to Ipswich Town, AFC Wimbledon, Cambridge United and Cheltenham Town in the next month or so

What’s the rush? It would just be another big headache refunding people if circumstances changed next week. Most fans will probably be in credit to the club from past season ticket purchases awaiting refunds and so there will be no waiting for pay day and fans will purchase the tickets online. WAWAW

Unless he bought a multiple years season ticket I can’t see him being back for a while. I’m guessing he wasn’t allowed to buy in the early bird sales this year whilst still banned and they ain’t gonna sell anymore tickets while crowd limitations are in place.

For the programme collectors amongst us, Walsall have produced an issue for Saturdays game priced £2 each plus £2.50 postage whether you order 1 or multiple copies.

That’s understandable but you just know people will sit together and claim they are family.

50 across the front row (because you can exit on the wide walkway without directly passing anyone and then 2 per row per block so probably about 600 as a guesstimate for the lower tier! With regards family groups sitting together, i think it would be too hard to supervise and people would sit together and argue the throw so to save all that hassle they shouldn't allow it. There should be marked seats where people must sit like there are on a lot of buses at the moment and if you don't conform then your ejected, as simple as that.

I follow The New England patriots in the NFL and they've just announced their capacity for next season will be reduced to 20% of their stadium. I was trying to work out the capacity for Hillsborough and for the North Stand I estimated around 800 would be safely allowed on the following restrictions :- 2 people to a row of seats per block of seats so people could safely leave seat to exit without having to directly go past anyone with a row left clear between each occupied row for further distancing although this could be scrapped I guess and each row could be occupied with 2 people spread out across the rows so people are more than 2 metres apart on or between rows which would then take the capacity to about 1,600. The South Stand you could have about 50 people spread across the whole stand safely seated 2 metres apart and with a big walkway in front of them so not having to directly pass people to exit and then again 2 people per row of seats in each block you cold get about 600 I reckon the ground could hold about 5,000 fans with total social distancing

I wonder what Barnsley's player wage bill is per month and have their players been on full wages since all this kicked off. Asking Joe Public who might be paid £1,000 to £2,000 a month not to have a refund but still be paying players on more in a month than a fan might earn in a year stinks.

Only when i played alongside him in defence in school team

I went to school with his fellow team mate David Wetherall who moved from Wednesday to Leeds together. Different story from him, he said that their contracts were up for renewal and Big Ron didn’t offer them a much improved deal whereas Howard Wilkinson’s offer was to double their salary and that’s why they left.

People may know the face but not the name so anyone got a photo? R.I.P fella

Think I’m right in saying we never got paid for that sponsorship

War broke out in September so the season was not even a month old bearing in mind seasons used to start towards end of August so it’s a bit different this season with 3/4 of the season now played.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but even if they did decide to complete this seasons fixtures when things get back to some sort of normality, i'm guessing the clubs would want a few weeks to play some warm up games to get players back to some sort of match fixtures which would delay things even further. This all would have a knock on effect to next season and then with the Euro Championships to take place now in the Summer of 2021 so next season couldn't go on much further than originally scheduled for. If they really want to finish this season the only solution I can think of is to play a shortened season 2020/21 and maybe only play each other once either home or away.
