Portugal Owl Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Never forget that day. In the North towards the Lep and expected us to lose. 90 minutes later and totally euphoric. The best Christmas present ever. There have been some amazing moments watching Wednesday over the past 45 years. Some times of near despair and others of absolute magic. The BDM for me remains top of those magic ones. I flew in last night from Lisbon and am taking three of my grandsons to their first ever Sheffield derby. Then back to Portugal on Monday. Love Sheffield. But OMG the weather is awful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brommers Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I was only 10 at the time and it was my first ever Wednesday game. I hadn't lived in Sheffield long so didn't have any allegiance to either club (was a man Utd fan virtue of them beating liverpool in fa cup final in 1977). Went with my mate who had only started to get interested in football and liked man Utd because of me. We sat in South and I can't believe my parents let me go to such a huge game without any adult supervision. Fully expected Utd to win and suspect we would have ended up cheering for them if they had. Thank god that didn't happen and we came out of the ground 100% Wednesday. So such an important win in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarquin Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Was a season ticket holder since 1964 and unfortunately had to go to the inlaws for xmas and new year. Not a problem usually , but this meant a trip to Edinburgh. Very mixed feelings while I was there and in future we only went up for new year.

For thd away match we tried to get on the Shoreham but were refused entry but loads managed it and what a glorious sight from the John street where we ended up. We might not have had the middle of the Shoreham on this occasion but apart from the South the other two sides of the ground were ours and when TC scored absolute pandemonion.

Musn't Grumble Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 A mate of mine didn't drink and didn't smoke but, after the BDM match, we all piled into the Yew Tree at Malin Bridge and he decided that he'd have a cigar and a drink for each goal. Four Pernods and four Edward VIIs later, he got the taste and decided to stay until closing time, partaking in a few more glasses. He hasn't had a drink or a smoke since.

I remember being in the South but couldn't remember why we were there lol, not our normal stomping ground at the time. Half of the old 'crew' have gone sadly, Ted Bear died years ago, Cockney Richard also (I think). Think Vinnie is still on the go, saw him down town a couple of years ago, still see Slacky and Rummers, now & again, Archie as well, although losing touch with a lot of them. Top crew and top times. Bring it on Sunday, our season tickets are middle of the Kop these days, my eldest lad won't entertain it anywhere else, great spot though. Be outside the Crown before the match! Have a good un mate, 3-1 WAWAW FTB Rob Slacky , Archie and Vinnie were at Rowie's 65th birthday do at the barracks last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
