torryowl Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Club founded as "The Wednesday" but commonly known as "Sheffield Wednesday". Formally adopted "Sheffield Wednesday" c.1927.that's why I can´t agree with those who say we should change back to " the Wednesday"......we´ve always been Sheffield Wednesday even when when we wasn't officially .

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 No debate here up to 1927 we were 'The Wednesday' ! I can't think why on earth the journalists of the day would refer to us as Sheffield Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) No debate here up to 1927 we were 'The Wednesday' ! I can't think why on earth the journalists of the day would refer to us as Sheffield Wednesday but it wasn't just the journalists was it ,the club had a whacking great sign on the olive grove stand saying Sheffield Wednesday fc so that's how they thought of themselves as well.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 There had been a vote by the shareholding to move to a site in the Darnall area, Mr Dixon dropped his price significantly for the Owlerton plot and the rest, as they say, is history. For anyone interested in the name Owlerton, it dates back before Wulfric and the like. Somewhere in the Owlerton area stood a large wooden communal building known in early Olde English or even one of the Norse languages as an Ojla, pronounced OWLA, the community along with the Ojla was sacked by the Saxones. The Ojla along with the new English word Owlerton lives on. For more info on early S6 up to the James 1st period see Lynda Whiteley-Valasquez.
