Popular Post bazzer Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 I don’t post, hardly at all but I hope you will indulge me? I’ve been around a long time and at 11 years old I decided to follow Wednesday. Everyone in my city supported Man Utd in those days and I wanted to be different. It was our World Cup year and I watched Everton play Wednesday in the FA cup final. I just had to follow the owls as I felt so sorry that they hsd not won. i would stand along with other supporters at Gloucester station all following different clubs and get a train around the country to follow my new team. later I joined the 'london owls' and we would be welcomed at Hilsborough whenever we came. i joined the RAF in the 70's snd on being posted to Germany i used to ring the club shop to try and get the score at home games. it was the only way to get the current score and I recall a lady shouting across to someone to get it. A few years later I got to escort the Wednesday fans to White Hart Lane in my 'new job' my point, like many of my age ive been through some times with Wednesfay. i was beaten up on Birmingham station by Brummie skinheads aged 12 for wearing a Wednesday lapel badge. Ive watched them at places like Mansfield and Southend, and I didnt think I got nervous at my age anymore. yesterday I didnt know wether to stop watching the game and speed it on later or stick with it. i stood up infront of the TV for the last 20 minutes, this game certainly got to me even though Ive been thinking 2-1 or 3-1 all week. A Huddersfield win and a win over WBA for us and we will be all but safe, but maybe points st Sunderland is more likely? This morning I feel pleased for Wednesday supporters everywhere and for Danny and the coaches. i just wanted the forum to know it affects many supporters everywhere, not just the Sheffield area and some with similar stories. sorry for it being long winded ( i tried to cut it down) just needed to say it. i really think we will be ok now, hope so.

Regards… Lovely post - made me smile and remember my own Everton linkage. I think I'd have been 7 or 8 at the time - born in 62 and all I wanted for my birthday was a Wednesday shirt. Come my birthday I ripped open my present to discover an Everton shirt (no badge but different sleeves) and got the explanation 'the man in the shop said they had sold out of Owl's shirts in your size, but an Everton shirt would be just as good!!!!' This was the sports shop in Hillsborough, near Hillsborough boys club... they never got any of my money! As others have said - do post more - it's the mad little stories that bind us Owls together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
