@owlstalk Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The Sheffield Wednesday Club Shop Can anyone remember how the old Sheffield Wednesday club shop at Hillsborough used to look ? It was on the back of the South Stand with a counter straight in front of you as you walked in and drawers full of stuff to buy..

DobbinTheDonkey Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Similar area to where the turnstyles for kop are. Ticket Office was there also before moving more central. I think, a long time ago and I was only a chabbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Remember having to queue outside the shop to pick up the new wool jumper with the owl crest on, it was a must have at the time! even went to court in it, must have made an impression as I got not guilty. The counter at the front made it look like a chippy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, all the players used to do a stint at one time or another, be good PR for the current squad to lend an hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wednesdayloyal Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 yes, worked at hillsborough for my work experiance from school as a groundsman back in 91 just after atkinson left and the store room above the old owls shop was full of big ron sunglasses and we had to skip the lot!!! always remember been there when they delivered the old away kit in the 80's (purple and silver) and i was the first to purchase one from the club shop... proudest kid in sheffield that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I don't think that was the original. Unless there wa another I never went to. It was tiny - just a window. I am talking late sixties? It was just the size of a shed. Sold the odd rosette and Ozzie Owl sticker. The one where he is wearing a straw boater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
