Sheffield Wednesday?
2001 I had just started seeing a very nice lady and she had no interest in football whatsoever - her Dad was a blue, her brothers all sly sports rags. On the day that we were due to play at Hillsborough she wanted to go to The trafford centre as she had never been. So being a daft twat I cried off the game, got dogs abuse off my mates, as we got off the bus the driver had his radio on and I asked him if there was any score to which he gleefully replied that City were one down already! My mood darkened and I walked around the shops with a proper kite on me. Didn’t know what was going on for the whole game. Finally found out that we had won 6-2 when we got home and Ali B had given a master class. Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Then I found out that my two mates had been lifted for getting caught with a bottle of whisky inside the ground! So the whole day was a mixed bag.
Your place is the only Lancashire/Yorkshire ground I have still never been too - bizarre as I have been to the other Sheffield ground a few times and I have even been to The Crucible!
By the way, the Lady? We’ve been married 17 years in September and she’s been a City season ticket holder for the last 15.
Sheffield Wednesday? Get your shit together you belong at the top.
