OhForAnotherShez Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Come on - we've all felt like this sometimes. Be honest, there was no OT to moan 24/7. On fact OT sounds like MP on 7mins 10sec. Edited May 20, 2020 by OhForAnotherShez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 1971 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 On 17/04/2020 at 11:25, OhForAnotherShez said: Chris was here 1982-87 (thanks google), but I think the silver kit kicked in about 1986. So, the guy on the right just maybe an official of Finlux from the kit launch. I already recognise Matt Sheppard on left (note club tie). If anyone still cares two and a bit years later. OhForAnotherShez is right, it's a Finlux employee John Farnell. Found this in a programme, first game of the season 1986...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed the Olive Grove stand ... But it could still be Hillsborough.. That stand was dismantled and re-built where the South Stand is now .. Not 100% Helmet but I don't know if those railings were at Olive Grove? .. They were some railings in the early days of Hillsborough... Great photo though ... Stripes are wrong though 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the picture and link to owlstalk when googling something last week. That prompted my memory of this thread and that I had seen the same image when sorting through my old programmes last month. To be honest I remember a similar if not the same black and white image on the back of The Star that summer, announcing the new away kit. Kit releases were infrequent in those days so stood out a bit. I assumed it was a yellow shirt (black and white photos in Sheffield newspapers then) and when I later found out it was grey, silver, purple and white I was shocked. That season was the first time I ever saw us play in anything other than blue and white stripes, white or yellow shirts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it says Sheffield Wednesday on the roof of the stand and we weren’t known as that until we’d left Olive Grove. Love the picture.

Didn't notice the roof artwork ... It was the railings that made me think it was "Owlerton".... Can't remember seeing railings at Olive Grove..
