I can't be sure but it felt pretty even. Later at High Storrs there were lots of different catchment areas (Heeley, Middlewood to name two) where you could often guess who they supported by where they were from.

briggowl Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 From Chesterfield now, I know 7 Weds and 3 Blunts. I'm probably less inclined to know or look for blunts though but would say plenty more of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get the impression that Chessie have more of a rivallry for the Pigs than us (maybe because it's closer to that side of the city) so you might possibly get less traditionally following them for that reason.

Judas Atkinson Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Well I got more than I bargained for in my original post, and I've found the responses very interesting. I was surprised about Arbourthorne being red because it's where Wednesday fans have met on their way to the sty, and I've known a fair few owls from there. I think that rehousing from Kelvin flats may have caused it. Was from Kelvin myself so very interested to hear about Low Edges and Kelvin as well, and it fits well with a story I've heard from Meadowhead school this week. Apparently 2 season tickets for the sty were available for those getting most merits. Not worked well as lots of owls deliberately and quite magnificently misbehaved!! The school ended up in registration making kids say blue or red. Can't believe they didn't make them say blue or pig! It adds validity to what was said about Low Edges, I'd have expected it to be more red than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlicer Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I can count the amount of blades on one hand from Oughtibridge (that I know of). Fortunately they’re all decent functioning members of society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tickets available for Kop, North and South are in single figures so all sold out bar the shouting. Why do you say the West lower is not selling well? Only went on sale yesterday pal and already turned from green to yellow to orange. Be red tomorrow. Why are some fans so fkin negative all the time?!! 2 hours ago, Judas Atkinson said: Well I got more than I bargained for in my original post, and I've found the responses very interesting.

nuneatonowl1 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Nuneaton is definitely Wednesday, only met 2 pigs in 24 years of living here, 1 was here working for a week .Fortuitously it was the day the got relegated to division 1 a few years ago against Barnsley. Bought him a pint so he had to hang around longer for me to continue to wind him up. Around 30 odd owls here and 1 pig Edited September 21, 2017 by nuneatonowl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, it's always been a Blades area, just with a narrow majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FARGATEOWL Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Pontefract / South Elmsall majority Leeds so the week after means a lot to us but not as much as Saturday. We come in a close third to the Dingles round here with blades a long way behind Frickley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
