  1. I'm the same. From what's been said, I'm expecting one anytime soon.
  2. Rawson and Hillsborough Tap are opening and serving from 08:00, Barracks 09:00. Park and Jockey have 10:00 licenses.
  3. You're right that started with covid, it only happens pre-match, never after the game or at any other time in the pub. The staff don't like it, ask Steph. When the queue is long and snaking into the function room, the pub looks fuller than it is and punters walking into the pub see that and go elsewhere. It takes longer to get served because folk stood in the queue are busy chatting and are so far back from the bar that they don't know that staff are waiting to serve them. When stood in a queue at any bar, just try and remember that you're in a pub, not in feckin' Tesco's.
  4. The atmosphere at the Oxford game was great without the band. i don’t know where you get jealousy from. I watched the Oxford game from my seat on The Kop. I wasn’t sat there thinking I wish I was at The Etihad going parp, parp, toot, toot, bang bang bang in support of England.
  5. As far as I know, the rule is coming in for next season.
  6. It’s not just about the atmosphere at S6 1SW, it’s also about their loyalty and priorities. The Oxford home game, a momentous day in the history of our Club, an almost full house for the first game after chancer’s ousting when all Owls fans were asked to get behind the team, coaching staff and the Administrators. The band played their part by going to The Etihad to support England.
  7. Very good Thornbridge beer at £4.00 a pint last time I went in there. The price will have gone up since then, I boycotted the place season before last to stop giving owd tuna any money.
  8. Most of the side roads are closed to through traffic and restricted to residents in possession of a parking pass.
  9. I started the thread after the Oxford game. It was their silence, and my suspicion that they were at The Etihad, that prompted my post.
  10. We played Norwich at home last year on Tuesday, 5th November 2024. Attendance was 22,731, that is more of a comparison than the one you're quoting on a spring April evening in 2023.
  11. The big drive here is to raise money for the Administrators to use to keep the Club functioning as well putting on a show for potential buyers of our Club. Who would you suggest should fund the free scarf that’s left on your seat? There’s plenty on sale in the Club shop.
  12. Don’t have a go ‘cos I’m pretty thick anall, but… .,;the administrator cannot guarantee that the Club will be sold, nor can they guarantee that there will be a club in season 2026/27. IMO, if the Administrators sell ST for next season, they are creating more creditors to join those who have years left on the 3, 5, and 10yr deals that owd tuna sold.
  13. I’ve heard that said before but he should never have been able to get his mitts on money that was held on behalf of HMRC. It’s all water under the bridge now. I know why I cancelled my membership, that reason does not exist now and I rejoined last weekend.
  14. I emailed Hazel to reinstate my membership last weekend. She has managed to rejoin me on my old Foundation ID number and re-activated my direct debit. The staff at Hillsborough are brilliant.
  15. From 'One Hundred Years at Hillsborough' Although it is widely assumed that the club's nickname changed to The Owls in 1899 after the club's move to Owlerton, it was not until 1912, when Wednesday player George Robertson presented the club with an owl mascot, that the name took hold. A monkey mascot introduced some years earlier had not brought much luck
