Thurgoland Owl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't post too much on here but I am an avid reader of all things Sheffield Wednesday and as such I always look forward to anything by Kivo or Dunsby. I know a lot of people share my views and would ask that someone from here officially contacts the club and asks for their support in proving a means for keeping all the excellent contributions over the years for the perpetuity of the club. Also it would be good if both of them and others could post directly ( be vetted of course) to the Official SWFC site so that some of the excellent articles are shared with the wider SWFC community. I believe MR Chansiri would look very favourably on this. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you all think? not sure the club are that interested in our history .....we have very little on display that celebrates our distant triumphs and great players .

Thurgoland Owl Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think as we move forward it would be great if we had somewhere at the ground to take our Kids and Grand Kids to that showed our history and importance it the beginning of football!

Mountain Owl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We could do with something like Preston have. I have not been in it but I have heard their football museum is worth seeing. If we could create our own near the club shop and ask for donations plenty of people would help contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F. Spiksley Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Look no further than Genesis 1:1 & 1:2 1:1 On the first Day God created Sheffield Wednesday FC 1:2 On the second Day God thought "roger me they need a pitch to play on" and so he created Hillsborough.

TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes I agree all this should there for all to see on the official site and if/when we get a new stadium we should have our history on show. Dunsby is one of if not the best poster on here and his stuff is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're thinking of the National Football Museum, which was housed at Deepdale from 1998 to 2012 (when it was controversially relocated to what used to be Urbis in central Manchester). It's basically FIFA's museum and archive collection, not particularly Preston-affiliated other than once being kept at Deepdale (which was then the oldest continually used ground). Still well worth a visit if you're in the Manchester area, incidentally. Decent for kids too, not just us grown-up nerds.

Guest Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 To be fair, whilst I do enjoy reading and adding to what Kivo and Dunsby post on here the vast majority of it is already archived, via local and national press archives, available to anyone who bothers to search it and paste it here. Replicating it again in the club officially would just be making a vast duplicate. The unofficial books people publish mainly use this information as a starting point where possible and build on it via other means. What really needs to happen is an actual museum, either physical or online, which links those stories from the archives with actual items of interest such as boots, trophies, busts, tickets, scarves etc to bring the narrative to life.
