Sheffield Wednesday on the brink… | Enter administration (p30)

[Tbilisi]

They could knock the Lepping Lane End down and rebuild the corners to increase capacity.

Yes, would make sense, loads of space.

 

[eversince 76]

Always had a soft spot for Wednesday. Wasnt aware it is this badly. Hope a Sheik passes through and make their fans dreams come true.

You forgot burnley Blackburn, trust me living in Burnley it’s serious hatred between both clubs

I didn’t want to put a list of every intense rivalry. I’d still be writing it. I just included a few famous examples.

I know how much Blackburn and Burnley hate each other. Same goes for Exeter and Plymouth.

I could go on and on…

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Why they haven't knocked that down years ago and rebuilt it, is pretty scandalous in itself.

 

[WestGorton]

I always thought they should have relocated in the interim to the now demolished Din Valley stadium. Hillsborough would be a good housing site with a fitting memorial area to the disaster in my view.

The Din Valley stadium was always a bit noisy in my opinion.

Not worth the admission cost, a bit of a racket.

bumped into a drinking sheff wednesday 'lad' in belfast on saturday.

He was with a few geordie fans that a friend had befrended.

Same age as me, but reeling off Sheff Wendy games in 93/94 and attendances when he'd be 4/5 years old or talking about the two firms meeting each other.

He geniunely believed sheffield wednesday are bigger than city on both fronts.. he got quite angry tbh, even more so with another friend reading him the riot act.

He ended up on our flight home, and was quiet as a mouse.

There was nothing wrong with the stand. The issue was the fencing so why spend all that money building something that wasn’t needed?

Don Valley was far too small for Wednesday, and I'm not sure it could have been extended sufficiently.

It’s terribly dated, and cramped with narrow gangways and seating, a bit like at Old Trafford.

Yes it is now I meant at the time and post Hillsborough Report

The way Blackburn is going, they will penny pinch themselves out of existence within ten years.

 

[Bluekiwi]

And some argument in Glasgow.

Gave Billy Connolly material for one of his funniest stories.

Blackburn will be fucked if the hated Venkys stopped funding the club.

 

[West Yorks Owl]

Blackburn will be fucked if the hated Venkys stopped funding the club.

I think most football clubs would be fu*ked it the owners stopped plugging the gaps.

Out of the 92 league clubs how many make a profit 5-6? The rest are reliant on the owner.

We now talk about only losing £10m a season as a well run club.

 

[better dead than red]

Blackburn will be fucked if the hated Venkys stopped funding the club.

Some fans believe Venkys to be the problem. Damned if they do, damned if they don't there.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Some fans believe Venkys to be the problem. Dawned if they do, dawned if they don't there.

My sister in law's sister works at blackburn on matchdays as a 2nd job.

Trust me, Venkys are the problem there.
