@owlstalk Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Sheffield Wednesday night matches are always better than afternoon ones Whilst Saturdays at 3pm should always be the standard for matches you can't help but love the sight, sound and smell of a night match . They're a bit colder though which makes for an interesting evening sometimes hugging a cup of overpriced tea to try and keep the fingers from dropping off Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_B_SWFC Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Ah yes. Many a great memory from night matches. The Valentines Day loss to Stevenage... The 2-2 draw against 9-man Yeovil... The night of the "three Potter corners"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Spiksley Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Aaah... staring through pelting rain and the waterfalls cascading from the edge of the canopy, uplifted by the dazzling beams of floodlights. Yet all is not lost the ethereal warmth of your fellow owls misty breath fogging the concourse, isn't it hmm? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosphere always seems to be better. We did okay last season. Off the top of my head we beat Bristol, Barnsley, Blackburn and Birmingham at Hillsborough, only drawing to Burton and losing to Reading it think. Away we beat Blackburn and Wigan and drew to Bristol and Cardiff. So not a bad set of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Daz Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Funnily, most of away matches from 70s/80s that I remember, most were night matches. Tranmere, Carlisle, Villa Park, Old Trafford etc. Could be same thing, atmosphere. Mind you Carlisle could be due to being bear hugged as a skinny runt, by some big bruiser when we scored.

legendaryswan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 One of the night games I remember with great affection was the cup replay with Burnley.Wed fought hard at turf moor,and snook a draw with Burnley shading the game and possibly feeling hard done by. But at our place we just played Burnley off the park that night,Shelton was just brilliant on the night and hit two goals,we could have more than the 5,McCulloch got two as well and we ran the game,and a semi final at highbury.was the reward.

Owl 44 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I remember going all the way to Plymouth for a night match once - 1991 I think it was. It was a Tuesday night and we drove back the same night. I must have been mad. It was in the middle of winter and absolutely freezing and tango still had no shirt.
