This ^^ I follow Wednesday - always have, plain and simple Might occasionally call myself an Owl, but Wednesdayite is the word that slips out naturally In fact, I'll get pretty irate when pundits refer to us as 'Sheffield' But worse than that are idiots like Giddings who say 'Sheffull' WTF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Owl Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 22 minutes ago, JemmoJemoJemmo said: Nonsense. Aston Villa doesn’t have Birmingham in it. Everton doesn’t have Liverpool in it. Juventus doesn’t have Turin in it etc etc etc Villa fair enough as they're the best club in the city, but Liverpool is the biggest club in the city AND directly associated with the city through name. Those who don't know football well are much more likely to associate the city with Liverpool FC rather than Everton by name alone so I think it does matter from an outside perspective (not that everyone will care about that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Love us to go back to The Wednesday, Rangers and Celtic don't really use Glasgow. Would stop all the idiots calling us just Sheffield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 If we listened to football pundits like Ian Wright we would just be known as 'Sheffield'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I prefer The Wednesday Sitting on the Cantilever, it winds me up a bit when I look up at the clock and see the name Sheffield Wednesday The old frontage with just The Wednesday on it looked much better And I don't like sharing anything with the Blunts 3 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Only way I can get them to recognise us is t bring up the Ted Lasso reference! Anyway even on that show when asked who we are playing on Saturday, he gets the answer "Wednesday" not "Sheffield Wednesday"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime Tree Heros Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Why use two words when one will do? It's just overelaboration. If anybody asks, I support 'Wednesday'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentowl Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Back in the 70s there was a news reader on , I think, ITV who when reading out the midweek scores always called us The Wednesday. When I asked my Dad why, he said "because that's their proper name". I still prefer it even though it was usually The Wednesday nil . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
