I just wanted to add a little perspective to some of the posts both prior to and after the result on Saturday.
Firstly I would like to say that I think BHA are a decent club that play some lovely football at times and as a neutral I thoroughly enjoyed watching the recent FA Cup games against Newcastle and Arsenal.
Secondly I think respect is due to the BHA fans that travelled to the game on Saturday, we are all in the middle of tough financial times and your support today was a fair showing given the distance.
Now then, with regard to the Massive thing, it genuinely was a tongue in cheek joke directed at our local rivals and to be honest the majority of Wednesday fans (I talk to) wish that the tag would stop being used.
I for one recognise that history counts for little, but as a club we have enjoyed some good times (in recent history, early 90's) where cup finals and a European football seemed a regular thing.
I have had a season ticket at Hillsborough since 1976 and I watch Wednesday up and down the country (cash, work and family commitments allowing), I have been to the likes of Bury, Stockport etc (no disrespect intended) and equally away to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manc's etc) I even remember a cold night in October at the Goldstone ground where we managed to get a good 0-4 win.
That nights the attendance was just over 10K which goes to show how far you guys have come, sitting nicely on top of the attendance table for the Championship (you were last time I looked anyway)
With regard to Dave Jones I suggest you read his book or at least be clear on the facts, this man had his life turned upside down by failings in our own society, so anything directed at him from the terraces is simply wrong, remember his family (that went through hell) have to sit and listen to the comments, so the opinion I pay my entrance money so I can say what I want is just infantile at best.
Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season, I hope I don't get abused too much for posting on your board and also hope that you don't let your opinions of Owls fans be swayed by the ill advised comments of one or two (both sides by the way, some crazy statements some quite funny).
UTO
