You have to be a special kind of d*ckhead to assault someone because they support a different football team to you. To be fair, as Wednesday fans we could do with some sense knocked into us 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Emotionally drained after Atkinson modeled our performance to lift our first major trophy in 56 years. The last few minutes I'd swear my watch was running in reverse. After the lap of honour, the shouting and singing I was drained. I sat with my wife and kids on the steps outside Wembley trembling in tiredness and emotion. Then a really great gesture up strode Paddy Crerand, the former Manchester United hard man midfielder. He understood immediately by my state what the win meant to me and many of our fans. He suggested this was a new beginning for us and had difficulty understanding how we got relegated the previous year. A great gesture ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we passed the cricketers a kind United fan must have sensed my hunger and threw me a pie.

TbagMcgraw Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Got on a packed tram at Leppings Lane after the 1st home game of last season (beating Barnsley 2-0), we were sandwiched next to a group of Barnsley fans on a very hot and stuffy day, and me 3 year old son was screaming his head off....more to do with the packed tram than being next to the dingles, and they were all singing Wednesday songs to my boy to try and cheer him up! Class touch, especially after they'd just lost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) I got a phone call walking down to Hillsborough. I had dropped my wallet and an away fan had found it and phoned my number which was on one of business cards. It had my season ticket in it and a load of cash. The away fan returned it to me without anything missing. I offered him a tenner for being such a good egg but he wouldn’t take it; I then offered to buy him a pint after the match but he refused that also. He just seemed genuinely pleased to have returned my wallet to me. Edited April 12, 2021 by shandypants 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Norwich away...many moons ago...blinding hot afternoon... The Kop at Carrow rd used to be split for home and away....There was a fence that ran down the back, down a bank of grass to the turnstiles.... Me and a mate were in very early, too young to even attempt to get into a pub, or had been turned away We sat on the grass bank in the sun, Owls scarfs on...and an old Norwich bloke....walked past the other side of the fence...said "Hello lads...Bit warm eh?" We replied in kind On his way back up...He passed us two cokes and two packets of crisps, through the fence....walked straight off and we had to shout "Thanks mate" as he walked away...he just waved over his shoulder....Liked Norwich ever since...... Yea we lost 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortlandOwl Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Midweek match at Amex, awful weather, Brighton fans applauded when number of away fans was announced. Something I reckon we should do at Hillsborough a lot more. Instead of taking the p1ss out of say 50 Yeovil fans, we should be more gracious sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyowl Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Ran out of petrol (Mates car) on a dual carriageway nearing Croydon on the way to Palace in the early 90's (Season when we finished 3rd), Palace fan stopped for us and and took me to a petrol station, he even supplied the can then took me back to the stranded Vaulxhall Chevette (Again, mates car lol) and advised us which pubs to go in, top bloke for a palace fan.
