Attracts investors and players. Wife fancies shopping at Harrods etc. One of the reasons the Sheffield clubs find it hard to attract decent players without having to fork out daft wages.

Devonstrix Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 So we were Massive as usual. Highest 2 crowds in Wimbledon’s ten worst PL gates. Proud to be a Wednesdayite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlthorpe Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 From an era when our away support was fantastic , away to Bristol city league cup 2nd round 1st leg Oct 1982 on a Monday night , between 250 -300. Remember walking back after game to one coach and a few mini buses , Bristol had almost as many in a mob on our right hand side in a park separated by a few police. Crowd was only about 4, 000 they had dropped into the fourth division, we won 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 38 minutes ago, Broomhill Owl said: Away to Swansea and Bristol Rovers when we were banned in late seventies, about a dozen at each including me. There were more than that. About 20 of us on their end which was the side terrace till we scored and it kicked off. We then got marched round to the away end where there were about another 100. Bristol Rovers I would say about 200 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and we must have had 200. No it was 0-0, reyt boring match. It was a few weeks after we got promoted at Cardiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 On a similar theme; what’s the away ticket allocation at Sunderland? Could be our biggest following this season, especially with it being between Xmas & New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a bad away following, about half the crowd must have been on the away terrace. Midweek game around 1991/92, awful game and we lost Think they "beat" that and got 1 or 2 even lower attendances though. I went as well and I think we took over 1k and yep overtaken by the Everton match I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
