torryowl Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 don't think theres a great deal of difference in the numbers .....for the semi back in 93 we sold around the same amount of tickets as each other which sort of proves the point ....I do think we tend to be more supportive though when times are hard , we seem to grin and bear it while the blunts have tended to vote with there feet .

Surely that would bear some relationship to the FA attempting to give equal allocations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Brought up on City rd..lived years at Gleadless..no real difference to be honest, until I moved to Walkley...mostly Owls..Walkleys hardly "out of the city" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 We only have 1 blade in the family...and he lives in Doncaster and doesn't go.... Me Grandad and grandma lived on John st behind Uniteds ground, both Owls...had 7 kids.. only one who ended up a blade..Uncle Vin R.I .P..great bloke apart from being a blade. First game I ever went to was at the Lane..me Uncle Vin took me, following Monday there was a big family fall out as 5 brothers descended on our house to ask me mum "What the f.ook she was thinking"...(Me dad wasn't bothered as he was Irish and followed Hurling) Cue me being taken in tow to Hillsborough for a night match by 5 uncles..bloody glorious floodlights and an' heaving Kop..I was mesmerised..I got bought a rattle and about 12 hot dogs...Me Uncle Vin was treated like a f.ookin' child molester for about 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 its just a coping tactic used by the smaller club. It's said about United, Brum, Man City, Everton etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 One story that has always stuck with me, over years of being an Owls fan, is one me mother told me about the 1935 cup final... When my mother was younger..living on John St...They had a window cleaner who was an Owls fanatic, So obviously he got on with the rest of the family, and he was frantic to get to the cup final as The Owls progressed through the stages that year... The week before the cup final, he was singing and dancing, and in great spirits, then sadly died in an accident a couple of days before the final. Apparently me Grandad turned the radio off immediately after the game and they had a minutes silence in the house..no celebration nor nowt... I suppose in those days they knew what was serious, and what was football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got talking to a part time blue nose who compared us and utd in his words to the Villa Brum relationship. Very dubious. Utd, like brum, in his words are the team of the city and the owls, like Villa are bigger but a lot of the support is from out of the city. ????? Well it certainly is true.... Wednesday are by far the bigger club and have support from the city and the rest of yorkshire and throughout the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would honestly say if you split the city in 2 across the city centre it would be 50/50 in the south and 65/35 in the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAOWL267 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Up near Pontefract it's mainly Weeds with a good proportion of Wednesdayites. A few blades mind they're all messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 United and Birmingham ( along with a few others ) are scrubber clubs, who exist purely for scrubbers who smell and like to hang around with other smelly scrubbers. Wednesday and Villa are, in as many ways as is still possible, proper clubs. I assume that's more or less what he was trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhgate Owl Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Swansea is full of Wednesdayites over 200 travelled to Wembley last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
