since59owe Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I became one simply due to Mick "B", who lived across from me on the Wisewood estate, he moved in from the Spital Hill area, I was 11, he was 15, so I was allowed to go with him, he was quite tall so my family felt he could keep me safe, I went to every game with him until I left Wisewood aged 15, whats your story ...

WalkleyWeds Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It was 1995. At various times family members took me to see Rotherham, United and Wednesday play. Easiest choice I've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkeye Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I never had a choice and find it strange when people let their children decide who to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeerkat Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Moved to Sheffield aged 5 after my dad died from buxton, lived up in crookes and used to play footy up on bolehills park looking down on Hillsborough... a few in my family supported stockport county so dodged a bullet there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWEDFM Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm a Londoner born and bred but when I was about 8 I was never really into football but at the end of the news on Saturday evening for some reason I used to love listening to the man who read out all the football results and the name Sheffield Wednesday always stuck out, being young the Wednesday part made me chuckle. They were losing every week and I kind of felt sorry for them and each saturday I made sure I listened to the man to see how they got on. From that moment on it escalated. I bought the Merlin sticker album so I could learn the names of all the Wednesday players, my parents ordered me my first Owls kit online, Wednesday birthday cake etc. All my mates were Chelsea and Arsenal and couldn't understand me but I was always proud to be different and tell them 'I am Wednesday'. Then a few years later I went to my first Owls game and got pics with Pressman, Jonk, Sibon at the training ground. As they say, I never looked back and now I am 29 and Wednesday is part of who I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millo Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am a Wednesdayite simply because my dad use to take me and my best pal at the time to Hillsborough. It was in 1957 and I was 12 years old. I have been a Wednesdayite ever since. The funny thing is, that if my dad had taken me to the lane instead, I would have been a blade. I would imagine that many football fans have had similar experiences. In a nutshell I am a Wednesdayite because of fate. Bearing all this in mind, I find it difficult to understand the 'hatred' towards rival teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
