Guest hirstysfags Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hillsborough Pumas U12s. My lads team. More exciting and pleasing to watch than the Owls at the moment, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickly Kevin Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Depends on the reason. Find it cringey when folk follow Old Firm teams cause Rangers are a proper "British team" or Celtic cause they are "Irish". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There’s other clubs that I want to do well, Exeter and Argyle for me…. but as someone earlier pointed out , when they lose it doesn’t break your heart. I can’t even watch the extended highlights of the Oxford game as I’m so friggin demoralised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I've been watching Stocksbridge Park Steels alongside Wednesday for decades. It's my local club, and it gives me the chance to watch unspoilt, grassroots football that comes without all the the sleeze, greed, cheating, diving, play acting and general money grabbing the professional games comes with. It's refreshing to walk round to Braken Moor to watch the semi pro game and see teams who are there for the football, not money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 As a lad, we always went on holiday to my Aunty's in Dalton - in -Furness for our holidays every year, and though I never saw Barrow play, I've always had a soft spot for them. Having another set of relatives, and having been born nearby, who were rank Barnsley followers, you can imagine my feelings when Barrow advanced to the FAC3rd round, and a tie with Barnsley. I also had another club in my locker - my local club - Buxton - which I subsequently found is onlly some 10 years younger than my beloved |Owls, who have and always will be my first and only love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there many owls in buxton? I'd imagine the close proximity to Manchester would probably see loads choosing Manchester United. Id imagine there being a lot of Derby fans too. Wednesday seem to draw more support away from South Yorkshire than our closest rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Some Kids nowa days say their support Wednesday or United, but follow the likes of City/Man Utd etc more. Ask them to name the Wednesday 11 and they can probably name about 5. But can name you a 23-man team for one of the top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Donny Rovers used to be my second team when I was younger, and I used to go and watch them more than Wednesday because it was a short bus ride away and a quid to get in for a while. Any affection I felt for them was killed off when their fans became jumped up tw*ts and started believing the whole 'shift in the balance of power' thing once they made it to the Championship, though. They're just another club to me now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Wednesday fan you'll feel right at home. 'Big' club playing below the level they should be. Consistently disappointing results, owner that the fans want rid of etc etc. There's loads of similarities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalagaOwl Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Right, So I am originally from Wolverhampton so i do want them to win when they play (except for when they play us obviously) but thats mainly for the sake of my mates. Apart from that I half have an interest in Real Betis (live in Spain), and Ajax (lived in Amsterdam for a few years) But really if they lose I am never upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam_Baggies Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I didn't intend to - but it kind of just happened - largely because of many of the people on this forum tbh I happened to be mates with several Blades fans at the time and Megson (who is and always will be my hero) had just been appointed at Hillsborough. My other hero currently has the hot seat now. Almost seemed like fate. Nigh on 10 years later I still make the journey to Hillsborough every now and then - largely when Covid doesn't get the game called off! I've met a few people on here - one of which has turned into a good mate of mine now. I also enjoy Sheffield as a city. I must be a sucker for punishment because neither of the teams I like in blue and white stripes are particularly good! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I enjoy watching Man City at the moment just to delight in the whinging and moaning from Liverpool and Man U fans. But not really all that arsed. Nothing comes close to Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I support Sheffield Wednesday, man city, Chelsea, PSG, Atdhe Nuhuu, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Zlatan and Coventry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
