Sold 800 apparently.

Got mine today.

Sheff Weds been doing well but over-rated. Looking for 3 points here.

Remember that 5-0 game. 5 shots at goal and the score was 5-0. Was back in the pub by 65 mins!!

Good grief. We were even worse that day than I remember. And my memory of it's a dismal one as it is!!!



Booth had many highlights at Sheffield Wednesday including a hat-trick on his return to the team following an operation, against Bolton Wanderers. :roll:

That's the one. Chris Waddle ran us ragged, Curcic scored a beauty and I nearly crashed into a steeply banked roundabout in dense fog on the way there. True story.

Please don't do this to yourself or us.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

My God, in my memory they had 5 shots and it was 5-0.

Actually, in reality, 8-0 at half time would have been a fair reflection. We were beyond poor.

Thank goodness I was drunk

Got tickets to this one for my first ever visit to Hillsborough with my Pops.

Anyone meeting up for a drink before hand or if not know of any away friendly pubs to visit?

Most of the good pubs, and all mostly football neutral, are to be found in the city centre, which, unfortunately, are fxckin miles away. The ones closest to the ground serve warm rat piss.

I remember the fog. Freezing fog and I was sat on some sort of wooden bench in the home end. Took me until back in London until I warmed up :evil:

We have fog most mornings at this time of year and 14c does count as freezing these days. So yes, we have freezing fog :mrgreen:

Public transport as I don't live that far from Sheffield so if it's near the ground and/or walkable it's all golden
Pfffft.
