Though we did reach the FA Cup final. your right in so much the league position was a bit crap but I remember the 65-66 season as one of the best of times what with the young players brown introduced the thrill of the cup run and the excitement of the up coming world cup and Sheffield being involved …….I suppose when you look back 53 years to when you were 12 it's only natural to recall the happy parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I like both. It would be nice if the club could find a way to use the old one in some way as well though, maybe in merchandising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant nithering criticism of DC by some supporters is getting very boring. The guy has come in and invested heavily in a team that was dying the death of a thousand cuts for the past 25 years, and was sold to him partly on the history and tradition of a once great club. Surely he is allowed to indulge himself on non critical issues like badge and kit. Give the man a break FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking through that 65-66 season I noticed that there was some disappointing attendances, quiet a few under 20,000 and only 34,000 for Sheffield derby.

It’s not just the badge and kit though. also - he’s not a philanthropist- any successful promotion will benefit him more than anyone else. People don’t have to thank him for it. that said I do hope he turns it round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Simon Jordan at Crystal Palace who said it's easy to become a millionaire...you just start as a billionaire and buy a football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why DC should be immune from criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
