Lythamowl Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 just being there was an achievement but....... I feel we turned a corner on saturday. Up here i'm surrounded by man u and liverpoo so called supporters who just latched on to the nearest 'big' team and now claim they were born on cobbles in salford or in the shadow of anfield. Many people have said to me about the support and now finally grasping what potential that our team has. 50 to 65 minutes was incredible and we came out of that showing our class. wasn't our day and congratulations to Hull, but I get the distinct impression that as the song puts it so succintly.....were Sheffield Wednesday and were on our way back Thank you to everyone who made that day so special, for all of us that were there it will live long in the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJayOne Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 oooooh easily that period after half time when every one of the 40000 of us were singing 'were on our way' it was utterly f.kin mesmerising. I have never seen such unity, passion and clear sense of purpose in so many people at the same time, for so long and with such f.kin volume. The video of it on our facebook page is brilliant but has to be played on full volume with earphones on to get a sense of the power of it. will never forget that Meeting Neil and James on the tube was the highlight (for them obviously). I had to pretend that I'd got on the wrong train to get away from them. Haha! You were lucky you met Neil before his really drunk state...

roaminowl Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Haha! You were lucky you met Neil before his really drunk state... He was surprisingly sober and mellow. I was bitterly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Loved seeing the excitement on the Kids faces on seeing the complete Wednesday Army on parade. They're now Owls for life ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Oh. And the staff behind the food counter at Wembley stadium being in such a flap that I got a large coke & water for free. £7 it would have come to I think. Bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain Look on their faces everytime someone ordered chips & curry sauce, like they'd be trained by watching that Peter Kay sketch. Some bloke walked off after ordering it and I heard him 2 seconds later saying "Is this flipping BALTI?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 To be honest, the biggest highlights of my weekend, in equal measure, were seeing my daughter further develop her interest in Sheffield Wednesday (never stopped talking about the match since), and going fishing yesterday, to help me forget about Saturday.

brian joicey Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Covent Garden Saturday night singing with Barnsley fans, and kicking a ball about.flying on the tubes, and of course being with the best supporters in the land at Wembley. enjoyed that... were u there on sat dinner time ??? A rickshaw came through the fans with a stocky black guy driving/riding it almost immediately everybody started singing 'you'll never get past semedo' at him .... within a couple of minutes another came through with a lighter shaded black guy with tight curly hair driving/riding it - instantly 'der,der,der,der deon burton' song was sung ... friggin hilarious what a laugh and what a weekend just full of memories that will last for ever !!

RobHowe Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Just being in that crowd of Wednesday family. This. And the fact that my two boys, who up until these past few weeks have shown little interest in football, sat and watched the game on TV. I might not have failed as a father after all.

Daavies; Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For me it has to be dancing with a homeless guy absolutely smashed in Covent Garden before the match or stopping an elevator for a whilest loads of us were bouncing going down the subway.

I hope they enjoyed the noise being made! I've only seen bits and bobs, have you watched it all over? What's it sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My daughter is a student in Kingston, she stopped off at Covent Gardens on route to get a drink and soak up the atmosphere. When I met her at Wembley she said the ride on the tube was brilliant, every time the tube doors opened, an announcement came over the tannoy saying "mind the gap" and each time the Wednesdayites burst into song singing "mind the gap, mind the gap Sheff United" Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
