DNS Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 At Central Library today, 10.30-2.30 - The FA Cup on display and tons of memorabilia on local football to celebrate the Sheffield FC's birthday yesterday. Jason Dickson (author of SWFC - The Official History) has a stall so go say hi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Why is this not at a weekend for the small number of people that actually have jobs are able to attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Couldn't have picked a worse day. There is a big dogging meet in Greno woods today so I can't make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a few reasons 1. SAG felt it was too dangerous to have extra crowds in the library on a Saturday 2. It was planned for the weekend but SKY enforced a change to the schedule 3. Quite a lot of people actually work at the weekends too 4. The pigs had a protest because they wanted the cup it in their cabinet this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically Sheffield all over. Love my city but jesus in comparison to the likes of Liverppol, Manchester and Leeds we lag behind in so many ways.

Manor Owl Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Got there just in time to hear the FA expert telling a couple of people that Piggies won cup in 1935. Had to correct and reprimand him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean for all intents and purposes football was invented here yet the football museum is in Manchester, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Have Sheffield Wednesday been involved at all? Someone has put a video up on twitter, and I note that the pigs have got their grubby banners up in there. Have their own way and they’d rewrite history that lot. I sincerely hope swfc have played a part or were asked to play a part in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway they omit to mention that United were formed YEARS after Bl was being used by other clubs amongst them The Wednesday. The other "record" they boast about is the first Premier League goal being scored by Brian Deane. Thats not a "record", or, indeed, anything else, football did NOT start with the premier league!

optimisticowl Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 R/S covered this at lunch time, however I slightly lost interest when they went into great detail about Hallam FC being the world’s oldest football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main myth that they still bang on about is being the first football club to ever be called United. Even though Hanover United were formed in the 1870s.
