dunsbyowl Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (Getting Up early for Donny - for tomorrow!) 125 Years in Our Shadow #OLDERBIGGERBETTER Give them credit – the Blunts have done well getting this far. Lovely Fans that they have : A Football club formed by Sheffield United Cricket Club – to raise much needed revenue BECAUSE The Famous Old Wednesday Club had developed, and moved to, Olive Grove after decades of playing and SUCC creaming off income from important matches at Bramall Lane. Without them life would have been SO dull. The likes of Sheffield FC & Heeley FC just didn’t do it. They could even come up with original Nickname – Wednesday had been called The Blades for years – with a lack of imagination they couldn’t come up with anything original and for years were known as the “Junior†Blades acknowledging their status as Wednesday’s upstart noisy neighbours. As it turned out they could not even get going without stealing a number of Wednesday players. William Mosforth We all know THEY are the Pigs acknowledged in one other THEIR programmes from the 1960s But we must be thankful. Without Sheffield’s Bottlers we wouldn’t have enjoyed some rare old battles during the years 1949/50 Carlton puts them straight : Boxing Day 1979 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2344IwjPtws The return match in 1980 with Curran’s wonder goal : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN2hzHsEwWM The FA Cup Semi Final & Waddle’s utterly amazing free kick : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AjUM06dBwM The wonderful 1990 Derby Double : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SEBVE2MusY Not forgetting Wednesday’s 2012 Promotion season - #MINDTHE GAP How many points ahead and games in hand?????????????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1LiDWFQrGA Not forgetting the contribution made by our Danny Boy! Heres to another 125 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest domSWFC Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Love having majority ownership of the city with them in it. Credit to them, wouldn't be the club we are without them. Makes us look even more massive than we are when we are next to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I love how they're making a big deal about their 125th birthday, just as they did 5 years ago for their 120th birthday and as I'm sure they will in 5 years time for their 130th birthday. You never see the big clubs doing this sort of thing for such nothing anniversaries, but then the pigs are a small club who wish they were a big club. That's why they have to repeatedly tell everyone how old they are, how old their ground is, how the rules of football were written a "stones throw" away from it and this is why they felt the need to hijack Sheffield FC's birthday. They say we live in the past but unlike them, we don't have to repeatedly ram our past down other clubs throats through fear they might forget it.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) They were our Junior Blades for their first 36 years. The last 89 years have been spent in our shadow ! Never in the entire history of the game has one tin of 'Duraglit' been made to last 125 years that's what makes Uniteds story all the more unique !

OwlLuke Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Don't forget that time when they complained to the Houses of Parliament about their relegation and then subsequently sued - And when they went to court when Hillsborough was chosen as a potential London 2018 venue over Bramall Lane - http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/mar/11/sheffield-united-wednesday-hillsborough-bramall-lane And this "cracker" - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
