alanharper Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Never had a choice, and if I had I'm intelligent so would have chosen the light side anyway. Literally every blade at our school was as thick as pigsh1t and the normal kids supported Wednesday. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 said this before my entire male line back to the start has always been Wednesday as it should be however my old man didn't really influence me other than taking me only to owls matches I remember making the conscious choice myself I preferred blue to red and at my school the complete idiots were red made the decision easy I can see the grin on my old man's face now when I said I wanna be Wednesday I didn't give my lads the choice took my first son to his first match at 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 My dad and the fact that everyone I knew, and just about everyone I didn't know, on our estate (Parson Cross) supported The Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquiescefc Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Had a mate who got free tickets to see United. Went, they won, it was a dull soulless place in a car park. Mate then got free tickets to Hillsborough, we lost, atmosphere was brilliant, loved the stadium. Got hooked in Wednesday drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Consider myself VERY, VERY LUCKY. Only mum Mum, Dad and one uncle were Owls. One Grandfather originally from Derby (County fan) and almost all rest of extended family are blunts, with the odd Barnsley, Leeds and even Arsenal fan chucked in for bad measure. Dad took me on North as a kid and after watching Curran, then Bannister I was never gonna support anyone else. Very occasionally played football on park after school with Simon Mellor (Neil's older brother) who even more rarely brought dad Ian along for a kick about, so that helped too (doubt that would happen nowadays). Dad passed away 5 years ago. Last match we ever attended together was on North (4-1 v Bury, Dave Jones first match in charge?). Not been on North since and never will again.

ramone Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 My old man took me as 3 year old. From since I remember, going to the match was just part of life in the same way as it was going to school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Owl Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 There were no football fans in my family at all. When i was 8 (1969) a friend of my parents took me to a game. We sat in the north stand and had a Bovril and a Pie, tasted marvelous. Cant remember the football or if we won or lost. As i reached early teens, i started going with mates from School, who were all Owls. Caught the bug and being going through thick and mainly thin ever since WTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
