Kew Owl Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Roy Coyle gave us the lead in the first half, but Chelsea came back to win 2-1 A real anticlimax after the memorable win at Villa Park a few days earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I was there in the NW corner. It was great seeing Hillsborough packed for one of our games for a change! Chelsea were really dirty and kicked us all over the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonOwls Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I was there that day as an 8 yr old in the West Stand over the Lep. Just remember a massive crowd and an amazing atmosphere. Great memories, great video footage. Sat in almost the same spot for the BDM in 1979. What a day that was. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 10 minutes was an absolute mare,seemed to last half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday wore a 'Home Cup Kit' that season. The white shirts and blue shorts were used in the home games against Fulham and Palace in the Cup run. I think a 'Cup kit' was a regular thing in prior to '73, but this was the the last time as far as I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainJoicey Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Only just seen this footage. Fantastic!! I was there as an 11 year old with my dad who drove the football special buses. ( we missed the beginning & end of the match so he could work!) The commentary sounds so pre war!! I remember the Kits and seeing Chelsea in Red seemed very odd at the time. Wednesday wearing white although unusual wasn’t the first time as the 66 cup run had been in the white kit ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few seasons, in the FA Cup, when there was a clash of kits, both sides had to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylde Kneeslide Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 South stand for me - think it was Roy Coyles only goal - no stripes as identified earlier - think Chelsea played in red - was it Chris Garland who got the winning goal - after this goal it all went a little south - division 3 was calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holsgrove and Garner both sent off near the end. Garner was at it all bloody match, eventually Holsgrove got fed up and retaliated. It was my first experience of a packed Hillsborough and was in the NWC upper section - as always at that time. Was 13 going on 14 and absolutely loved it (although not the final score). Chelsea were a right set of dirty twunts at the time and knew every nasty trick in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 North stand for me that day as an 11 year old and remember the sun being my eyes for a good proportion of the game. Was great to be in such a big crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the carpets I found loads of old newspaper including an old copy of the Sheffield Star. There is a great photo of a packed North stand on a day when the crowd was 46,000 it states. Apparently we lost the game and Osgood scored at least one of the Chelsea goals. I was only eight at the time, so I was wondering if any of our fans attended that game and what division we would have been in at the time? WAWAW Hi It was my first ever Wednesday game i sat in the west stand upper which was mainly Wednesday fans / season ticket holders i was 11 at the time it was an amazing atmosphere chelsea fans packed lower leppings Ana few were on the kop as trouble broke out I was hooked on Wednesday and my dad got me a season ticket in the west stand upper for the flowing years. osgood did score although Wednesday were winning . at the end of the game our supporters bus was parked at the end of leppings near the now petrol station and I remember on the coach taking over an hour and half ti leave and also bottles were thrown and fighting on leppings lane / battles between fans for a while / quite scary too being young .. yes 46 thousand there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Bernard Shaw scored an absolute belter in front of the Wedneaday fans, but, in the last 20 minutes, Mickey Droy - who might have come on as a sub - scored with a couple of headers I think and,, somewhat unbelievably, we ended up losing 3-2. We haven’t had a great record at Stamford Bridge over the years sadly, but we did win there 2-0 in the first leg of the Rumbelows Cup semi final in 1991. As most people on here will tell you, that was the year we went on to beat Man U in the final 1-0 with John Sheridan being our match winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
