Stoop 10,864 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 My first memory is that loads of people used to tear paper up like confetti and throw it up in in the air when the players came out. Nobody does that anymore Link to post Share on other sites

A battered old transit used to come and unload a few of those old equally battered hot dog stands. They were filthy. Scruffy blokes with a dirty white coat on used to come to push them around .

Eastern 1,940 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Does anyone else remember the narrow corridor in the South Stand? Ran the whole length I think. Link to post Share on other sites
sheriwozgod 4,162 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Remember the old guy selling The Star who used to sit behind the goal , Kop end in his white smock. When Wednesday scored he used to throw his flat cap in the air and catch it about half a dozen times accompanied by a thunderous Raaaaaaay from the Kop every time he caught it.

sheriwozgod 4,162 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Also that really weird pub type bar under the south stand...………..it had wallpaper and everything. Link to post Share on other sites
Blatter 2,937 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 My Dad taking me to the players entrance behind the South Stand. Giving my autograph book to the commission-ere. Then getting it back ten minutes later signed by Springett Johnson Curtis McAnearny Swan Kay Finney Fantham Shiner Froggat and Wilkinson. Plus a few names I’d never heard of at the time. Young Gibson O’Donnel and Quinn. Treasured it for years. Link to post Share on other sites

mildatheart67 1,059 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Used to meet my school mates on the kop and if the game was dull looked over to the South uncovered where my teenage dream ,Julie Clayton sat. End of most matches walked back to Greno,just got back in time for the Green Un to arrive. Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Cannister 110 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The crush to get the Football Special bus back to town. The smell of fags and matches. Walking through the middle tunnel on the Leppings lane end to be greeted by a vast football stadium Link to post Share on other sites

oldowl67 634 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Night matches stick in my memory more than Saturday games. The ramp onto the Kop in the North East corner and that first view of the pitch, staring at the driving rain caught in the floodlights, the cushions thrown from the Cantilever (as I knew it a a kid) , scalding hot OXO drinks on cold nights, my uncle sharing his extra strong mints, Eric Potts, cigarette/cigar smoke, being shielded from the crowd by my Dad and Uncle on the way out, the seemingly endless walk back to the car. Magical. Link to post Share on other sites
matt68owls 1,425 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Pie and Bovril at half time smell of cigarette and cigar smoke fans on the Leppings lane and the Kop, waving their arms from side to side above their heads, to each other. wearing a silk scarf around my wrist and the blue and white woolly scarf round the neck. letters for half time scores on the south and north stand (always remember Doncaster beating Reading 5-3 at half time, ended 7-5 with Kerry Dixon scoring 4 for Reading). cushions in the north stand (most ended up on the pitch). The Sheffield Wednesday Neon sign outside the kop. How shyte Wednesday were at football (I started going in 73/74). Edited April 13, 2020 by matt68owls Link to post Share on other sites
