MAL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Southampton Tue 20th March 1984 away lost 5-1 FA Cup. People might not believe this, but we played them off the park. No kidding. They had six breakaways, scored 5 and hit the post with the other. ? Wallace was like shiit of a shovel. There might still be a video, when they were all at the training ground with Howard trying to tell them it was a one off, that the fans would understand, they weren't daft. That was a long trip home.

killaowl Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thieverpool away '84-'85, witnessing thier 'Stanley knife' period inside the ground when one of ours got 60 stitches in his back. The feckin Thieverpool filth then arrested him and threatened us if we didnt shut up and 'Calm down'! We won 0-2 but those jolly, wittiest fans in England certainly know how to put a dampener on things.

nk Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 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. We won though from what I remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a kid slashed down his back that day and was kept in Waltham hospital overnight. We were waiting outside the hospital after the match to see if he was being released, and a policeman told us there were three other Owls in there also.Scouse scum.

vulva Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Not the worse but most depressing was the Wimbledon 1-1 draw with at the time the lowest prem crowd. We got there 15 mintues late as well. Arsenal 7-1, my mate even lost his car keys in the ground, we finally got them back around 6.30. (Aresnal were really helpful so makes the memories alittle better) Worse for me was Chelsea around 88. Got train from Donny to Sheff to catch the ICO for one of my first away matches. Bloody thing broke down towards the bottom of the M1 and we missed the match. Never went on a ICO again. Think we lost 4-0 so not all bad. I still have surreal nightmare's today about not getting to matches on time! That was the season I went to every game, home and away. Seem to recall going to London about 8 times, and getting sod all. Was that the season Worthington scored from a cross at Selhurst Park? We also drew 1-1 at Plough Lane that season, and got bummed 4-0 at Spurs. My memory is going, but it could also have been the season we played at Old Trafford and drew 1-1 in the fog, with Colin West scoring. Also remember going to Norwich on the ICO. Had to sit next to Steve Woodhead all the way. Now that was a long journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall someone saying he has now gone blind. One of the biggest Wednesday fans i've ever known, and if my memory serves me right he got slashed in the toilets round the back of the stand. Liverpool are an awful lot. I remember going when Whittingham scored and we won 1-0, and the local plod were telling us that the scousers had printed leaflets saying Wednesday fans had been weeing on the Hillsborough memorial, and that they had a right mob outside waiting for us after.

I was desperate not to miss the train home so I left 2 mind before west scored with the diving header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*sigh* Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Losing 4-2 away at Wimbledon in the mid 90's, i've always hated Selhurst Park. Pressman got caught doing keep-ups early on by Ekoku and Hirst missed a penalty late in the game which would have made it 3-3. I remember Vinny Jones heading their 4th close to the end and them playing 'Wild Thing' goal music for him. Just a horrible day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cvnts Think it must be a strong trend of people who had bad experiences from that match, My dad always tells me about it. Said we played em off park that day and won but none of national radio stations wanted to mention it too much. Come out of ground and said he'd never seen anything like it, bottles, bricks, knifes the lot, he just missed getting caught up in it all ironically by a Liverpool fan and his 20 something daughter who pulled him out of way just as 2 mobs collided. He actually pulled the daughter but couldn't do much because he had to catch his train or coach back, probably for the best really as I was born about 6 years later, but who knows if he'd have booked a hotel for the night and things had gone well with him and her I might have very well been a scouser Thankfully he met my mother and I'm a thorougher bread Sheffielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theboylangers Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 That was 1992/3 when we finished third in the top flight (amazing to think we achieved that now). I went to that game too - a thoroughly unique experience. 70 minutes of boredom with the Arsenal crowd as lacking in passion and volume as usual followed by perhaps the most surreal period of football I've ever witnessed. And even then each goal was met with little more than a ripple of polite applause more befitting a school pantomime. To be fair to our lot though, we did play with ten men thanks to David Johnson making one of his few appearances. Bloody carthorse. I was at that game. I seem to remember Irish scoring to give us the lead or equalise. Anyway, what happened after that was completely unbelievable. In true Sheffield Wednesday fashion, we managed to concede 6 in the last 20 minutes. We left at 4-1 and by the time we got to the car it was 6-1. Switched on the radio in the car, 7-1. I used to go to quite a lot of away games during to late 80's/early 90's - used to use Purdy's coach from Woodhouse I think. Always a trip to a boozer beforehand, and me being late teens couldn't handle me ale. Some brilliant days out. Which leads me to another worst away day - can't remember the season but we were at the Old Den, Millwall. Our coach driver got lost but had the commentary on. Imagine our delight at us being 2-0 up at half time when we finally arrived. Cue another SWFCesque collapse to lose the game 4-2, with chavvy Millwall fans waving large wads of £20 notes at us and laughing. Finally, I know this thread is about worst away days but I thought I'd throw in one of the best. Away at WBA, jackpotted the fruit ( tokens back then!!) and then onto the ground hammered. We were one down with 5 minutes to play and up popped Francis(?) and Shirtliff(?) to win us the game in the last minute. I have never gone so ballistic and everyone was hugging each other. Reminisce over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Handsworthowl Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Coventry away 05/06 Lost 3-1 which I didnt really care for, as of the case of waking up the morning after and realising that two owls had died in a car accident on the way home, one of those times when football is irrelevant.

RobHowe Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) We won though from what I remember?Indeed - 2-0 from memory.But that mattered little when I thought I was going to die from a mixture of alcohol poisoning and hypothermia, whilst sat in a rusty VW Jetta on the A1.
