NormOwl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Derby away, when Dean Saunders scored twice in the last 5 minutes. Little git. Mayhem outside after, with police horses having a right old laugh. It was like the charge of the light brigade that day. Cambridge in the 4 - 0 fa cup was a bad un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 4-0 down at Boro at half time. (match over, they'll ease off 2nd half I thought) Wrong again 8-0 !! Souness 'on fire', Big Jack managing Boro. Trips? Went to both Plymouth & Southend night matches both off after late inspections (Late 70s??)

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I remember the Oldham riot, we had a right day out, went on their cop before the game started and fighting breaking out all over the place. Then the actually game started and we got marched round the ground to loud applause from the Wednesday hoards. Cant remember the exact sequence of events but my mate ended up getting nicked and was the on the front page of the Sun. We went to Blackpool after the game a coach load of us. In the pub we went in after a few drinks we had a minutes silence for HMS Sheffield the whole pub fell silent very moving really. Went back to Oldham the season after in some ways it was a lot worse the violence, remember some coppers getting a right pasting off the Wednesday fans at halftime at the back of our end. Very immature I suppose but they were good days, not like today's sanitised, corporate manufactured match day experience. I know I'm a dinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz.thornton Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Spora Luxembourg UEFA Cup. Bus broke down, got to game just before half time 2-1 up and that is how it stayed. 48hour trip, saw no goals - Great atmosphere though with 2000 Wednesdayites and 300 home fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronxowl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Arsenal at leicesters old filbert street ground, think it was the second visit circa 1979.FA cup replays, Rammed into that middle pen till I couldn't breath, me and my mate climbed out over the fence somehow. Going back to van after match and ambushed by leicesters finest, still remember the stars when one of the little barstewards twatted me from the side in the eye. Knocked onto the floor and seeming like 60 pair of boots flying at my head, still managed to bang one though before it came on top........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SteveyOwl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 8-0 defeat at Newcastle. Coming from Kent it was almost a 14 hour round trip to St James Park and to see that was embarrassing. Never again am I going to that ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birstall Owl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Plough Lane 1989 stands out, only lost 1-0, absolutely pissed it down all game and we stood on that open terrace, the only shelter was the portakabin toilets, and you think to yourself does it get any worse than this? Course it does we follow Wednesday 2nd Jan 89 was another, lost 5-0 at Cov and we were lucky to get 0, Siggi Jonsson was sent off and David Speedie ran riot (little tw*t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richowls Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Arsenal away when we lost 7 - 1. (Can't remember the year). Lost the match, the coach broke down on the M1 on the way back and the Pig fans (they'd just won an FA Cup match I think) were giving us major abuse. Also Chelsea away (again can't remember the year) when we were 4 - 0 down at half time and I have never been wetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT OWL Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Having lived in Berkshire since 1976, its probably some of the home games that stand out as my worst away days. Of the genuine "away days" Swindon away only a few years back stands out, we gave up a two goal lead to lose 3-2 in the pouring rain. "2-0 and you f***d it up" was their chant. I wasn't hacked off so much at the result, simply at the fact that losing from such a position no longer surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahowl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Middlesbrough away on New Years Day 1991 - severely hungover, it was freezing cold, got p*ssed on throughout the game, police kept us in for approx half an hour (in the rain) and then my mate's car broke down on the A1 and we spent 2-3 hours sat in a freezing car, soaking wet waiting for the AA.Was that the game where they let us all go to the back of the stand to find the gates shut and then the police sent the horses in to trample all over us!!

marconi Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 darlington away in an fa cup replay in the late 1970s it was a freezing cold night with ice and snow everywhere, wednesday lost in injury time to a goal by ex wednesday player ferguson (cant remember his first name). there was fighting all over the ground and it carried on all the way throught he match. Went to that also, Wooden wall collapsed first Wednesday attack, fortunately no injuries. Fans were charging at each other after the match across a darkened cricket pitch, and were being tripped over by the wire rope surrounding the wicket, reminiscent to soldiers falling at the Somme.
