[Albion] Sheffield Wednesday home game

Simster · Feb 18, 2016

Sheffield Wednesday :lol:

could be the largest gate for almost 2 years, I'd have thought.

As the largest club in the league (and indeed Europe), they will bring around 17,000 of their own muglets, mostly filling the home ends. It would be more than that, but it's a Tuesday.

We will then have 11,000 fans at the Amex ourselves (because tickets are ten quid each).

Was Arsenal in January last year, the most recent complete sell out?

KingstonSeagull · Feb 18, 2016

Just like Bolton's turn out at the weekend?

They are MASSIVE

Ninja Elephant · Feb 18, 2016

Seriously, all this Sheffield Wednesday stuff is painful.

Ignoring the Sheff Weds banter, I would be disappointed if we don't approach sell outs in some of the games to come. We should certainly be looking for high turnouts for Wednesday, Leeds, Burnley and Derby.

Hillsborough is already sold out for the beamback.

Don't worry - they've hired Bramall Lane for the overspill.

Yorkshire has declared the day of the game a county holiday so all the locals can get out the bunting and have street parties in readiness.

I was listening to BBC radio Sheffield in the car the other night as they had a football phone in thing (it was crap). There were numerous Wednesday :lolol:

fans mentioning how "everyone" knows they are the form team in the division (while bemoaning how shit the attendance / atmosphere at Hillsborough still is).

I just checked the form tables and if you look at the last 4 games MASSIVE Wednesday are second (to us) and last 6 or 8 games they are second (to Burnley). Yet another example of their fans talking out of their arses.

As opposed to our fans who are grounded and reasonable?

Does make you wonder when there have been many links to other club boards calling us arrogant. Us? Really? Never!

To be fair...Wednesday are in a league of their own when it comes to being delusional...closely followed by Leeds...must be a Yorkshire trait of feeling inferior. Having spent a lot of time in and around Sheffield, it is FACT!

Last 10 games is them though I think.

But the last 31 games is us over Wednesday.

It just shows you can pick the precise number of games to backup any point of view.

I find this thread so disrespectful to both Leeds and Sheffield Weds. They are both clearly the biggest two clubs in the division, its just that they both get smaller crowds than Brighton.

mona · Feb 18, 2016

for Wednesday fans I think. Where is Sid James?

Eh? He was South African with London / Brighton links? But if a Shef W fan then probably living in the London / the South East like most of their away support..

They will fill the away end and make plenty of noise too. What's not to like?

Yep the cockney Owls will be out in force. First, second and third generation of northeners who moved saaarf.
