KivoOwl Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 TONIGHT, 7.30pm kick-off Sheffield FC vs. Wednesday U21s, Coach & Horses Ground (Dronfield), S18 2GD Adults £8, OAP's & concessions £4 For those moaning about the ticket prices, pre-season games with big clubs are a key source of income for non-league clubs like Sheffield FC. I'd expect most of the following to feature - Dawson, Wildsmith, Floro, Sanders, Young, Croasdale, Hanna, Corry, McElroy, Stobbs, Betra & Dieseruvwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0wl18 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I don't get the sheffield fc bashing, they're the oldest football club in the world. If we can help keep them in business by attending a pre season friendly then why not? Some serious ego maniacs with huge chips on their shoulders on the site.

We embrace both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United to promote everything that is good about football and our city.We look forward to an excellent game of football tonight against great opposition in Sheffield Wednesday. So as far as I am concerned if they allowed their manager to publicly tweet that then as far as I am concerned my money is better off in my pocket. Shame really as there are a few of our old lads playing their. Surely the directors of Sheffield FC should have highlighted that being manager of their club brings with it a lot of responsibility and professionalism which wasn't forthcoming back then.

themaskedowl Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah I'll be there - if my battery holds up I'll give live updates on Twitter @WednesdayYouth k. but no twitter here. I had it for a while but found it more annoying than helpful so now it is gone. Any chance of a post on here (or even a cut and paste of your tweets after the event)?

Ronnie Starling Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 So you're saying that sheffield fc should suffer because they once had a life long sheffield united supporter as manager and he made a few abusive comment towards us? Their manager at the time decided to spout a load of crap and was only rebuffed when the torrent of complaints sent to the chairman made him make a grovelling apology. Sheffield FC should know better and should have instilled into their employees to maintain professionalism at all times. Certainly when one of your biggest pay days is coming you should show them some respect and dont get bogged down by the "these are my own views and not my employers" as he was the manager spouting off in a very public forum.

Richard Tims, Sheffield FC's chairman, is reputably an Owls fan. Anyone that is selected for a senior management role would realise that in any walk of life you dont go around alienating your potential customer base which was the case here. My employer has a team of staff that puts the reputation of the company first who realise that if we went around slagging off our customers that we would have to face the consequences.

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'll be going tonight, ok ground and nice pub to boot, plus will be interested to see how some of the younger players perform, never watched the dev squad before. No point bashing sheffield fc, they're the world's oldest club and have done a great job raising money for charities like boots for africa. We know curtis woodhouse is a complete n0bhead, the club distanced themselves from the statements, what more is there to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don't get to many non league games if you think managers at that level behave impeccably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I get great interested when we go abroad and I take my Sheffield FC football shirt. I have only seen Sheffield FC play once against Worksop in one of the cup competitions at Hillsborough a few seasons ago. As for predictions in pre-season friendlies going for a 2-1 Wednesday win.

You obviously don't get to many non league games if you think managers at that level behave impeccably. Sheffield FC is slightly different to most non-league clubs in that its the oldest club in the World and therefore as they use this to market the club globally require some professionalism at all levels.
