  1. Wednesday will still be under embargos so I doubt Man U will want him playing for a team struggling at the bottom of L1 getting battered most weeks.
  2. Great idea, and dont forget to get a faded Presto Tools sprayed onto the away stand roof.
  3. Take an unbrella if you sit on the lower Lep for that match.
  4. I seem to recall i went on a bus from the Noah's Ark. But not much else though. I was sat in one of the stands at the side of the pitch and the North Bank goal was to my left. Didnt they have a player called Robinson? and i remember the only thing i heard their fans chanting was Seagulls, Seagulls over and over again. I cant remeber much else, i'll probably have a programme and maybe a ticket stub in the loft but quite a bit of stuff got misplaced when i moved away from Sheff.
  5. I was on the Kop that day and that exact moment was the begining of the end for Wednesday as a top level team. If it had never happened i believe Wednesday would still be a Premier league club. Unfortunately however it's been all down hill from there ever since.
  6. I he still turned a profit on it
  7. Thats a shame with all that BBC money he's going to have burning a hole in his picket
  8. I love that shirt, execpt for the idiot's name pasted across it.
  9. Move. The name Hillsborough even if it was completely redeveloped will always be associated with the disaster. They should at least have rebuilt the leppings lane for the Euros instead of building that monstrosity on top of the South stand which proceeded to ruin the pitch due to lack of sunlight.there was also an opertuity to build a new stadium on the Don Valley site. Too late now but I still would prefer to move and a clean sheet.
  10. Remember DH was prevented from joining Man U a potentially stratospheric career move by Wednesday. He and his son were and are professional footballers and DH knows they need to make the best of every opportunity. Because of DH's intervention GH has now probably earned more than his father did in his entire career. GH moving like he did was just a good father who knows the game looking out for his son's best interests.
  11. Oh wow that brings back memories. I remember his name was painted a wall in Netherthorpe, it was there for decades after he finished playing. I think it was near the top of Solly St or Beet St maybe?
  12. As soon a i saw Francis Jeffers on his home debut i knew he wouldn't be any good.
  13. I mostly watch non league these days and Uggers would struggle in National league North.
  14. I'm pushing 70 now but still keep myself fit enough to jog around for 90 minutes and score no goals.
  15. Have Wednesday now become Rangers feeder club? If so perhaps they could send a few unused squad players down to help out.
  16. This from a newspaper article. His club career saw him overcome obstacles pretty much everywhere he went. At PSV the manager did not want him and at Sheffield Wednesday he encountered players "who went straight to the pub after training but still able to run like wild animals come Saturday". say it all about the culture around English football at the time.
  17. You must know that the players don't live in Manchester.
  18. I watched Wednesday getting mullered by Sunderland last season and their ground and facilities are on a totally different level to Hillsborough.
  19. What's the odds that NAP saw the boycotted attendance on Wednesday night and decided the risk of losing their money was too great and called in the loan.
  20. Well that sounds like the boycott had the desired effect!!!!
  21. When NAP saw the empty stadium on Wednesday night it just might have made them realise their money is in danger and they need to act immediately to secure it's repayment.
  22. I live in the cold north east and have yet to meet one. Every day not just matchdays, I see folks waking around in their maggs shirts.
  23. Is ShizzStorm Friday really here at last?
