Bpmber Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Only been three times to BHL,my dad took me to see Brian Tiler make his debut for Villa in 68, second i was on the Shoreham to see TC score that wonder goal ( it wa buzzin on there ) and thirdly a few of us stood with Walsall on what became known as Thank Givens Day when they sent the blunts down now that was foookin funny Remember that Millwall game, i was on the Kop early, we moved them to the side as our numbers grew they looked like tramps with their scruffy rain coats and steel cappers. When they were up the top corner they started pelting us with milk bottles!! Also remember being hit by a brick after the villa game outside the Kop - happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Sam Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 What marvellous memories you Wednesday boys have. It must have been terrible being a Blade in the 60s and 70, and all the other big clubs must have poo poo their pants at the thought of visiting Hillsborough. Until I read this thread, I didn’t realise you had the greatest mob in the land, although I have spoken to numerous fans from other clubs, who said it was always a doddle at the Lane, but at Hillsborough they had to keep their heads down. My Dad Sam, who was one of Wednesday's main lads at the time told me all this, but i thought he was fibbing. When did it all change then? And don’t forget you’ve only got 6 months to finish the tunnel. Start digging boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vontemp Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Is that an 'in' joke? According to the Pigs-aka the hardest football supporters in the universe-whenever Wednesday visit the Sty, we disappear into thin air after the match, this is known as "the Wednesday tunnel", because we must dig a tunnel and crawl our way back to town, apparently. I think we are expected to come out onto Bramall Lane swaggering and offering to fight allcomers, when the truth is that most people, including me, act like normal human beings and walk back towards town for a drink. There are usually a few knobheads on both sides acting a bit lairy, but why anybody would want to start windmilling is a mystery to me, especially considering that there are more SYP knocking about than there were during the Miner's Strike. But then again, I'm not a big hard Blaaaaaaaaaade, so I'm obviously a coward, or summat like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingOwl Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 "the Wednesday tunnel", because we must dig a tunnel and crawl our way back to town, apparently. Thanks for the clarification. I would never had worked it out on my own. Not very funny though, is it? BDTBL is much funnier. Especially as they don't do irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Getting on the kop early.like man u and villa,is not the same as taking a kop.I was on the Kop both games,in the mob against man u in the corner and in the mob againat villa who were initially behind the net then moved up to the scoreboard to make an attempt to regain some ground.Only sheer numbers,as you say,were in there favour. Nobody has ever taken the East Bank from the Wednesday. I gorgot about that Villa game. I remember now if memory serves me right they were at the top of the league and we were near bottom. I think they brought about 15k and were on the kop about an hour and half before kick off. We had no choice but to go in the Lepps as they were all on the kop. After the game everybody waited at the bottom of Herries Road and as they came out of the kop they were run back into the ground, the Villa that stayed outside got absolutely battered and it started off a new song if you remember "Your'e gonna get what Aston Villa got".

Utah Owl Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Anyone noticed the -1's being dished out on this thread? Seems like there is a Blunt on here who to quote Jack Nicholson "can't handle the truth". I don't go in for the hooliganism thing, never have done never will, I just tell what I saw at the time which seems to be the case with most of us posting here, or are we all deluded and liars?
