cidered abroad Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I know it is easy to be magnanimous when one's team wins convincingly but I want to say thanks to all those involved with Sheffield Wednesday. Your team played football the right way and in the right spirit, did not queue up to harangue the match officials when decisions went against you. Your fans loudly supported their team and with some humour as well. Yes, we won and it's a very big win for us as, with other results, probably makes us safe, but was one of the more enjoyable matches of this season, with both teams trying to play creative, on the deck, football. A million light years away from the trash served up last week by your neighbours from the other side of the M1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Sound really does travel badly across the Atyeo. Can honestly say I don't hear the away fans at all, from any club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyolly Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Maybe good to credit the club's fans but surely not the club? Their charging of £39 or whatever it was for the opening days fixture was a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about their silly high prices but that is a different matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Well, at least we lost in humility. Most fans, especially the hardcore that travel to the smaller away allocations, appreciate what we've achieved this season and how we still have a great chance of promotion. I reckon that after 15 years of mainly utter crap, a sense of humour is one of our 'cathartic' developments as fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Aside from the parent of a Sheffield Wednesday child who was causing a fight outside the Avon Packet before the game. A disgrace the child was screaming. A good club though Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not always common to share the stand with home fans on away days but it always makes for a better atmosphere and it did just that I'd say.

nathredwood Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I was genuinely impressed by the reaction at half time. Not sure City fans would have made a roar quite that loud to try and get behind players leaving the pitch 3-0 down. From the South Stand it made me look up and I assumed something had kicked off! I meet a lot of away fans pre game as well and of all of them Wednesday are up there with the most friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here mate, presumed it had kicked off down there, to see that reaction at 3-0 down to a club just outside the relegation zone was stunning Got a mate who is a Wendy, and as I can't stand the Blades (big club syndrome), I only hope that they can get into the play offs and win it - proper club, proper fans. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter spotted him, he first trip to the Gate, and wanted to know why there was a half naked man at the other end of the ground....we had to google 'Tango Man', I don't think she believed me when I said he's well known for stripping off for games!

Tinmans Love Child Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I was sat just behind the goal block N38 of Atyeo and from my seat the Wednesday fans were pretty loud when in full voice, certainly matched our support for volume, however I don't think the Atyeo is great acoustically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cowshed with good facilities and a great view. How short our memories are of Swindon and all the other crap facilities encountered last year. Are we getting a bit arrogant now we have a ground as good as most in the upper divisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Walking back to the car was surprised at how many Owls fans were taking the trouble to say to us `well done, you deserved that`. You don`t get that every day - Chesterfield last season was the last one I can remember, must be something about coming from your neck of the woods.

Might have just been pot luck... at times this season we've had some right idiots following us. Obviously with bigger allocations that's what you seem to get. It does get worse the bigger the allocation with us as well. So that's probably why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
