dunsbyowl Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 " Wednesday Ground" has a ring to it. Advert from this day in 1908 when the Wedenesday did the derby doubcle over the Blunts . Tickets were a bit cheaper then - I wonder if the fans moaned as much then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal M Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Bet they still did! But in perspective, the average weekly wage in 1908 was about 26 shillings. So at sixpence a ticket, you were paying about 2% of your weekly wage to watch Wednesday. Average weekly wage in Sheffield is now about £400. So 2% of that would be £8 a ticket. But then none of those flippers playing for us in 1908 were driving Bentleys. They were getting the tram to games. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

Lincs Owl Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Owlerton football stadium. The other one can be called Owlerton Speedway stadium, or Owlerton Dog Stadium. Not sure what they do down there nowadays. It is in Owlerton. That part of Hillsboro is called Owlerton. So address would be SWFC Owlerton Football stadium Hillsboro Sheffield. I'm sure everyone would still call it Hillsboro though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I would sell the rights to not just the stadium but the entire district to the betting firm William Hill. It would then become Hills Borough Stadium. Let's say that they give us a nice round £20 million per year, that should just about do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
