Halfway-owl Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Grimsby Town......2003. My first Wednesday game. Don't remember much of the game but just remember from then on being hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT OWL Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You never lose interest, ever. Can think of a few times towards the end of both DJ and Irvines tenures, when I would come in from work, check the score, see we'd lost and just laugh. But even then I'd woop it up if we won. I suppose the closest I came to ambivalence was towards the end of the tenure of the CHC (care home crew) - horrible times. The current "will we or won't we" get taken over is nothing compared to that period in our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance McGraw Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I was also at St James' when we went down by 8.... If that was the game before the semi final against Everton I was at that; "are you watching Everon?". Gallows humour... Everon? Is that a bottled water company?

Jennz Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Couldn't ever imagine losing interest in Sheffield Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Still being fairly young (just about leaving college young) I haven't seen really the worst of Wednesday. Of course the Irvine era, but I'm sure there's been worse that I've luckily missed. Looking back as a young lad at the playoff final etc there aren't many places you can get enjoyment like that in life, even with many ups and downs. I don't think I could ever lose interest in this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noddyowl Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Drawing with Rushden and Diamonds!!! Hearing from Turner every week how 'teams come here and sit back because any result here is a cracking result for them' Christ almighty they were bleak times! The funny thing is I went to more games that season than I have both before or after it, due to commitments etc. It really was bloody appaling that year. I mean, Kim Olson for crying out loud. Feel depressed just thinking about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Its funny..I knew a bloke...not seen him for a few years now,but went to school with him..he's an ardent Blade..or was last time I met him. When we were at school he was an Owls fan..now how does that happen..?..foo,k knows., I was stood on the Kop against City with him when we dipped down on that sad rainy night in whateverthefook year it was..1970? Next time I met him..he was a blade.... I moved to Gleadless valley..and funnily enough bumped into him on Fleury rd..He had a Blades scarf on..I was comin' back from an Owls away game at some misbegotten outpost in the lower leagues...I could not bloody believe it! Hows that happen..I remember asking him.../... "All Blades up here" was his answer...and to be fair, there were more Blades fans on the valley at the time...but not one of 'em travelled away..includin' this soft bugger... There were three of us Owls on the 3 blocks of maisonettes up there at the time...all 3 of us went season after season without missing home and away..in the 70's when we were honestly ..abysmal...more abysmal than owt you see these days..I mean pathetic, abject no hope...turgid crap. I then saw him at Wembley '91...with a fookin' Owls flag draped around him..sat with a few mates in that pub near Wembley way..is it the green man or summatt?..I forget. Any road uipwards..I trotted over to introduce meself..or re introduce meself...and I could see he recognised me as I approached..cos he went a bit pasty...but I couldn't help meself..cos I was..not so much angry..as fookin' steamin' mad... I asked if United were down here playin'...and what the flip was he doin' sat regaled in the blue and white...he didn't have an answer...he hummed an' hawed and garbled crap for ten minutes....his mates looked at him...but i made me point and ambled off.... I saw him again just after United got promoted to the Prem...at a wedding...He had a Blades badge pinned to his suit lapel...I ambled over...he went a bit pasty again.................................................. What i'm saying is..its all transitory...hold true to the blue the wheel turns... I lived on Fleury Rd during that time asteener , and i remember it being about 60 - 40 in favour of the dark side............................but it certainly didnt feel like that in The Wyvern on the afternoon of boxing day 1979 , me and my dad had called in to hear what all the blunts who had been mouthing off for 5 months had to say.........................trouble was , there were only about 3 of them in. As regards the OP , i,ve never lost interest.......................been pi$$ed off many , many times , and dont attend these days half as much as i used to but never lost interest , if its in your blood you just cant. PS Give me the guys initials who you,re on about , i,ll see if i can work out who it is ! Edited August 30, 2014 by sheriwozgod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmanjack Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I remember a game at Hillsborough, against Halifax Town, at some point in the 1970's. we used to meet at opening time in the Old Blue Bell on High Street, before the game, than get a taxi to Hillsborough at about 2.30. I remember thinking, "It's only Halifax, should I stay here and have another drink, oh sod it I'll go to 't game". That's the closest I ever came.

vulva Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 When Mark Wright didn't sign for us from Southampton, because his wife didn't want to move North. When he signed for Derby the following week, I had a feeling we'd been lied to. Just an inkling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1867Heaven Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Didn't lose interest but in the late nineties I took a poo load of drugs and my Saturdays were normally spent f~cked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coruja Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) There was a period under Eustace when it wasn't great And this coincided with me meeting a stunning blonde German lass...think I went to two games during this time. Travel up from London or spend Saturday indulging in some serious bedroom gymnastics? A no-brainer or so it seemed... She dumped me the week before we lost to Forest and got relegated. I went to cheer myself up!! Worst week of my life... I've NEVER let a woman come between me and Wednesday ever since...
