Kopparberg Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Got the DVD for Christmas, hadn’t opened it. Watched most of it on YouTube. Seemed to only interview the sensible people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I am glad more people are going to watch it on the Youtube Channel as its an excellent film. But thought selling DVD for a tenner and half went to local charities was a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopevalleyowl Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thought it was really good - even managed to get on there in a mexican outfit at Brentford in the 2012 promotion season Just couldn’t believe there wasn’t a small amount of time dedicated to 40,000 fans at cardiff - only league 1 promotion but what a day that was!

vulva Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 To be honest, I don’t rate it. Find it a little bit cringeworthy. Too many interviews with fans talking about big crowds, noise etc. Gets boring after a while. We are a big club, let’s move on. Would have been far better if they’d interviewed players, managers etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the goals and interviews of our big games that often I know then almost off by heart. Yes the DVD was nostalgic but thats what many people enjoy myself included.

Some really good bits, but a little repetitive. Every club in the country thinks they are the best fans etc etc. Difference is, a large % of our lot are obsessed about going on about it.

Guest OWO Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Watched it this morning, lost count of the number of games I've been to that are in the film, but it was a lot, wonderful memories, some good, some not so, but that's the Wednesday way, I really rate this film, and I will be buying the dvd as a result, yes, I also suffered from getting something in my eye..wonderful.

Lord Snooty Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm glad I saw this if for little else than seeing the footage of that little lad going to his first game with his dad. When that little face lit up in awe... that is a face we all know. Brought back memories I'm sure in all of us of the first time we ever saw that pitch the inside of the stadium for the first time and the masses of humanity filling it. Wonderful emotion capturing shot that captures that moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Spaniel Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Excellent film. Really enjoyed it, and did well up too. Looking forward to buying the DVD as rumour has it that there's a 12 minute extra scene in Special Features, dedicated to Cakeball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched it since the showroom / uni showings? An extra 20 mins of footage has been added in showing Cardiff, Brighton and Hull games.

scilly owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Fantastic film... made with an insightful affection that can only really come from a proper fan. I watched it twice... once on my own and again with my wife. Spotted myself on the away end at Exeter ! It does give you a warm glow to be part of the Wednesday family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come into it about an hour in just after the BDM section. Cheers, Matt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful emotion capturing shot that captures that moment It's a bit fuzzier now but If I shut my eyes I can see 'that moment' I saw what i thought was a massive grass field with a brass band marching up and down - I hadn't a clue what i was watching really when the football started but the atmosphere and noise was amazing - like everyone I would pay anything to watch a match with my dad again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Yorks Owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I really enjoyed it, but I also have some sympathy with Vulva’s comments. I think it could have been even better with some interviews from ex players and managers. That said if the film makers sole mission was to produce a film purely from the fans perspective he did a good job; there were certainly plenty of moments when I felt quite emotional.
