KivoOwl Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 - The club formed because the owners of a football ground had lost its biggest source of income - their future rivals having left to build their own ground - and to give a bit of competition to that same future rival who had become the dominant team in the area.- The club that last won a major trophy before the Wall Street Crash.- The club that brought a close to 115 years of county cricket in their city by evicting a club that had been at the ground 34 years before they were formed, so they could knock down a beautiful pavilion and build a football stand with pink cladding on it. - The club whose fans like to think their rivals have benefitted from more stadium funding than they have, while ignoring the fact their own club has never had to build its own ground.- The club whose only involvement in European football was when taking on village teams from picturesque Tuscany in the Anglo-Italian Cup.- The club who whored themselves out to a businessperson who's gender was never really confirmed, and an Asian consortium who got the club on Horizon.- The club whose fans create fake ordnance survey maps and alleged library articles in a desperate attempt to prove their rivals should be called 'the pigs', while their team plays in shirts that look like bacon.- The club whose fans urinate on visiting supporters, fire distress flares at children, and take great pride in their hooligan element's notoriety.- The club who tried to get an embarrassing home defeat wiped from the record books by attacking their opponents in an attempt to get the game abandoned.- The club whose fans take the moral high ground over the financial troubles suffered by their rivals, while ignoring the fact they owed upwards of £50m to creditors at the same time.- The club whose fans started a hate campaign against their manager - before he'd took charge of a single game - because he used to play for their rivals.- The club supported by Sean Bean.- The club that blew a ten point lead in a fight against relegation, only to blame someone else and sue them for all they'd got.- The club that then planned on suing the local council and the FA for choosing their rivals' ground over theirs for World Cup selection, then forgetting all about it when England failed to get the World Cup anyway.- The club whose fans wanted Russia to be awarded the World Cup because of the afore-mentioned preferences shown by the FA. - The club who rewarded a player who had failed a drugs test by giving him a new contract.- The club who gate-crashed the 150th anniversary of the oldest club in the world just to get a picture of Pele in their shirt. - The club who renamed one of their stands after a local athlete done good who has still never been to the ground, and gets embarrassed when she drives past it.- The club whose fans set up a hate campaign aimed at a victim of rape, because their star striker had been jailed over the offence. - The club who failed to take any action against the afore-mentioned player convicted of rape. - The club that nearly put a 150 year old local non-league club out of business by suing them for £3,000 over the late payment of a youth player loan payment. - The club who play up the fact that their ground hosted the first ever floodlit game of football - while failing to add that they were still 11 years from being formed, and that their future rivals contributed 16 out of the 22 men that played.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 No Jess Ennis then? Well what's even more laughable is she doesn't even like football, it's her husband who is a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nath83 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Genuine question... From looking at the old programmes in the original post. One of them shows that we have been established since 1866 (the one with the football between the words "Sheffield" and "Wednesday". If that's the case, why is it recognised now that it was 1867?

since59owe Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The idea to invent a professional football club by uniting all the other not called Wednesday, was driven by profit, so what went wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just got round to watching last night's FLS. Do they really have a Hallam FC football in their "museum"? And is the greasy chip butty song really so complex that that greasy looking woman needed the sheet music attached to play it over and over? At least it proved what's most important to them - "we've won more steel city derbies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markowls1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (Getting Up early for Donny - for tomorrow!) 125 Years in Our Shadow #OLDERBIGGERBETTER Give them credit – the Blunts have done well getting this far. Lovely Fans that they have : A Football club formed by Sheffield United Cricket Club – to raise much needed revenue BECAUSE The Famous Old Wednesday Club had developed, and moved to, Olive Grove after decades of playing and SUCC creaming off income from important matches at Bramall Lane. Without them life would have been SO dull. The likes of Sheffield FC & Heeley FC just didn’t do it. They could even come up with original Nickname – Wednesday had been called The Blades for years – with a lack of imagination they couldn’t come up with anything original and for years were known as the “Junior†Blades acknowledging their status as Wednesday’s upstart noisy neighbours. As it turned out they could not even get going without stealing a number of Wednesday players. William Mosforth We all know THEY are the Pigs acknowledged in one other THEIR programmes from the 1960s But we must be thankful. Without Sheffield’s Bottlers we wouldn’t have enjoyed some rare old battles during the years 1949/50 Carlton puts them straight : Boxing Day 1979 The return match in 1980 with Curran’s wonder goal : The FA Cup Semi Final & Waddle’s utterly amazing free kick : The wonderful 1990 Derby Double : Not forgetting Wednesday’s 2012 Promotion season - #MINDTHE GAP How many points ahead and games in hand?????????????? Not forgetting the contribution made by our Danny Boy! Heres to another 125 ! beilliant well put together, should give them a history lesson that for them who read it on here, somtimes I think there's as many of them on here as us, obsessed !!
