Whitechapel Owl Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hopefully those that remember this day can help me shed some light on this. It's the game we lost 6-2, when Bernabia played us off the park. I could have sworn that they had both tiers of the West stand, the corner and a strip of the North stand. I've always remembered it as being the biggest away support I've seen at Hillsborough, yet this article says they only had 5,000 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-wednesday-2-manchester-city-1190737 If they did have both, tiers, the corner and a bit of the North it would have been more like 10k wouldn't it?

Whitechapel Owl Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Yeah, you can see the corner looks quite empty and there's no fans at the end of the North at 2:20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Rangers is the biggest away support Iv seen and that was a friendly. The segregation is ridiculous now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the Wolves game that one that was last match of the season, also around 2002? Might be what I'm thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
