Overcrowding during Sheffield Wednesday-Newcastle FA Cup tie

[West Yorks Owl]

Bloody hell! By the council or Rotherham fans?

Ha ha not Millers fans m8, Sheffield Council as part of cost saving measures. It has been replaced by the Olympic Legacy Park which include the Olympic Legacy Stadium where Sheffield Eagles amongst others play.

We went to Rotherham and won 1 - 0 once so I'm told

Since then.......

The authorities should have learned lessons after the spurs v wolves semifinal in 1981. Could easily have ended in tragedy.

Bloody hell... I feared for my life just watching that. Never seen such a dangerous situation.

Geordie wankers - the grapes are sour with them.

how many times have the filled that away end since 1989 ???and I bet every time it happened it was incident free ......... so Saturday and it was more stewards than normal and the gates opened a full half an hour before they normally do so I think it’s a case of folk trying to turn something small into something massive

I never really got the story in the first place because unless there's fencing blocking overflow to the pitch and the sides, you can't have a crush.

I don't see any sour grapes, we're used to losing to lower league teams and I have only seen Newcastle fans wishing Sheff Wed luck, the same we we did when we lost to Cambridge last season.
