I'm currently writing up a section on memorabilia - what people kept and why. I have autograph books, silk scarfs, a north stand cushion, and programmes galore so far. I'd be really interested in seeing anything you might still have from c73-76 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No article on Wednesday of this period is complete without reference to Sammy! He was at the Oldham match when the riot started. I saw him amongst the home fans. Probably him that kicked it off.

I'd love to hear any memories, or see any memorabilia that people might have on the Save Our Owls campaign in the Star. Picture below is the only one I have :( Dunsby may help. I made the Nationals by selling the car in order to stock up on the share issue that was made by Wednesday. I placed the add in the Star and to give it gravitas they sent up a Photographer... The cheeky sods sold it on to all the tabloids. To be fair a 3 month old Mk III 2 ltr was a bit steep for me, I finished up with £250 in shares and a clapped out Hillman Hunter Edited May 21, 2019 by nevthelodgemoorowl 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being g quite strict with myself - finishing at the end of 75-76 when we reached our lowest ever league position. The share issue came later in 76 than that. I might make an exception in my section on fans stories and tall tales though :) Might well give you a shout when I get to that one. Dunsby has already been a huge help, on here, via his SWFC history Facebook group and Twitter. I think even he's struggling to find a Save Our Owls sticker though!

Very nice colour , Common with the Mk1 Granada Ghia Coupe (apart from the silly white vinyl roof some of them had) Edited May 21, 2019 by OWLERTON GHOST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 The lovely people at War of the Monster Trucks have published the first fruits of my labours on this. Hope you enjoy :) http://www.wotmt.co.uk/reader_web.php?id=430&page= 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Been offered a publishing deal for this - which means that, all being well, next summer thete'll be a professionally produced book on the shelves of all good retailers. Thanks to everyone's help so far on it. The book aims to reflect the experience of fans - I couldn't do that without all the comments here and elsewhere. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Writing up my memorabilia section as I type - well getting a little distracted :) Anyhow, I would love to see a season ticket or two from 73-74, 74-75 or 75-76. Would anyone have one that they could take a picture of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a picture from one of the programmes c. 76 of a very attractive 18 year old modelling Wednesday knickers with the owls logo on them! I was in love (or lust) with her!

Bearwood Owl1 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Writing up a section on the ground itself. Heard fans refer to the the "cheesecake" and "crow's nest" sections fo S6. Am I correct in assuming these were what we now call the NW Corner (Wycombe's home) and the uncovered Kop Corner (Tango's home)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 I've got lots of stories of what it was like to stand during the mid 70s - on the Kop or the Lepp. Less so on what it was like in the stands. Did anyone sit in the North/South? If so, what was it like - facilities, view, row of seats all to yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Draft of this is all finished now. A couple more interviews to follow up and then editing and proofreading. Should mean that it's out in late spring/early summer next year. It's already listed on Amazon though - which I must admit got me a little excited :) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Our-Lowest-Ebb-2020-Wednesdays/dp/1908847174/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=john+dyson+our+lowest+ebb&qid=1573682918&sr=8-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
