Popular Post Heeleyowl Posted April 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2018 I know the stands are usually about half empty in the half time periods but some of the recent applause for the half time draw, given to some of the 'Wednesday legends' has been desultory if not pathetic. I appreciate that some of the older players might be a complete mystery to some fans, so why not spend a little bit more time with the welcome rather than just 'here's our old friend ..........' This was most painfully brought home at the last home game. I felt really sorry for Brian Hornsby. Okay he's no TC (Terry Curran for those born after 1979) but he played in the Boxing Day massacre FFS and offered a little bit of flair in what were very dark days for our club. Perhaps a little research and a bit more effort in the (otherwise pretty good) announcers welcome would not go amiss. Give the fans a little bit of background - career dates/appearances/goals/notable games played etc. To some of us they were very important at one time so lets make the welcome a bit warmer and a whole lot more genuine. Rant over - back to my warmed up soup! and I hope its not Fred Spikesly on Saturday. 8 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty funny for a while in the mid 1980s. Around that time I also remember them setting up small nets on each side of the pitch and having kids representing each of the two teams there that day play a game. But the best ever will still be the Royal Marines showing us all how to disarm, maim and kill people. I saw that at both the Ricoh Arena and Hillsborough.
