The Official Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol City Match Thread (Merged)

[Red Exile]

Biblical storm just broken out. Pouring with rain.

Nothing wrong with being a bit cautious away to a club like Wednesday . Stay in the game and open up later hopefully. We've done the gung-ho approach before under Sc and got stuffed at games like this. 

[Owl Visiting]

Nervous about tonight, left Abdi and Forestieri on the bench which is interesting. Big storm here in the south side of the city, hope it doesn't affect the game. Still early days but it's not been a good start for us with disappointing defeats against Burton and L**ds. Hope those of you that made the journey up here arrived safely. Be interesting to see how our new record signing Adam Reach performs on his debut. May the best team win.

Pouring down in Sheffield, a big thunderstorm, so going to be a fast game.

Will the ref call it off ? What with lightening and all !

Takes something special to get a game postponed in the top 3 divisions*.

(Unless it's Rovers or Swindon!)

*Safe to say when Carlisle and Accringtons grounds were under water in the last few years, that counts as special, though I'm not sure if Carlisle were league 1 or not at the time (I know Stanley werent).

Ed Hadwin is tweeting a photo of a big puddle in one corner, but he said it is draining away and it now being brushed away. Could be a 10 minute delay in starting.

Man City's match has been abandoned...

[UK0wnag3]

 So I'm not saying it's raining hard but the concourse is leaking.

However, thanks to the finest technology Yorkshire has to offer, we've found a bucket.

It's a balmy evening in Sheffield. A real test for us this evening. Looking forward to it - a point would be a good reward. 

Balmy but wet then? Did you try the 50 varieties of Rum at the Revolucion de Cuba?

I felt the need to go a little bit quicker on my way home from Edinburgh and let my impulsive side take over.....

I've now arrived at Hillsborough and looking forward to a win, but will settle for a point.

The Steak Pies are alright, the cider is nasty. 

Should have gone for the Rum me lad.

Good to have you back young sir and thanks for liking the thread at the beginning of last season even if OTIB has conspired to obliterate my words for that one and somehow, those of this evening have not saved on thread 1 either... how bizarre is that?.. happened but twice both times against Wednesday both times at Hillsborough.. something weird going on.

It's Yorkshire - that's the toilet

[UK0wnag3]

 Update: happy to report the bucket had to take his 15 minute break, so we now have two gents simply standing either side of the leak, slowly stepping further apart...

Too much rum before posting on those occasions?

The next person on this forum to call me Marie gets a ban! 

Freaks me right out when football people call me by my real name. Even my mum calls me Dolls

25 min delay according to Radio Bristol

Don't mutiny, it's a 15 min delay in KO, it could be 25 mins, Hadwin says if there is more rain it will be off.
