Will dig it out - left it at work!

90 years ago - Wednesday vs United at Hillsborough. Wednesday on their way to their 3rd Division One Championship - hammered the Blunts 5-2 with a Hooper scoring twice for the Owls ! Good Omen? The new stand at the Lepping Lane End was also used for the 1st time !

It was in Shoot or Match - i'll check - make a great canvas?

Looking through some old stuff yesterday and came across this wonderful photo - not an angle often seen but what a fantastic image - and below a resume of stats from the match

I was there - absolutely amazing goal - shut them up !

I've seen this story doing the rounds recently and I am doubtful but that's just my view . I subscribe to the red & white looks like bacon = pigs story - as for what BLane was before it was built on land owned by Danial Bramall part of which was used to keep Pigs . What I have collected. I rather like that quote from 1955 1889 Sheffield Telegraph 1967 My new finf 1970 Roy Hattersley autobigraphy "Goodbye to Yorkshire" - Roy was born in 1932. "As a boy I genuinely believed in the man who never ate bacon because its red and white stripes reminded him of Sheffield United---indeed in my blue and white Wednesday heart I applauded and supported his loyalty."

So I've found a 2nd United programme where they acknowledge Wednesday fans avoid Pork Products - at least by 190 they'd stopped beating their partners 1970 1967

This is one of my favourite quotes from Simon Inglis "Football Grounds of Great Britain"

Just for information :-) 10,000 seats at a maximum spend of £130,000 was the plan.

Programme and Press Cutting from the match vs Spurs in November when Wednesday spolied their unbeaten run! 56,363 in a 3 sided ground !
