  1. Always the same init. Everytime you want a job doing and get someone in to price it, you have an idea what you want and some bloke comes in to tell you that you're wrong and that you need this other thing which makes it easier for him. I had it a couple of years ago with a new bathroom with one bloke, who didn't get the job. I ultimately stuck to my guns and got what I wanted from someone else. They just want the easiest way. Whatever happened to giving the customer what he wants.
  2. I didn't start going regularly until 1963 when I got my first season ticket, that cost £5 and the season after it increased to £6 and 6 shilings. How things have changed. Seen many a game at Hillsborough but few really stand out but one of them was against the hammers. The Owls won 5-0 but what made it stand out as a game was Chris Waddle tormenting David Burrows all afternoon, Waddle was on fire. David Burrows eventually finished up at Hillsborough as well. That was in Decenber 1993.
  3. Especially if you were alive at the time it happened.😂
  4. We were discussing an event in 1979 but Owl went off on one of his tangents and a couple of years earlier we finished up in 1951.😀
  5. Ah, before I was born Owl. You confused me when you said a couple of years, should have read a couple of decades.😂
  6. A couple of years? I can't remember that one. I've been watching Wednesday since 1963 and I've racked my brains trying to remember it. The Boxing Day Massacre is part of the folklore now, but surely if a 7-3 to the grunters was a couple of years prior to 79 they'd surely have reminded us of it. And I'm sure I'd have remembered it as well.
  7. Wouldn't know about the Villa Park game Owl, I've always understood it to be the game at Hillsborough on that Boxing Day, commonly referred to as the Boxing Day Massacre. Be interesting to find out the truth though. Just as an aside, would you happen to know the score at that game at Hillsborough in 1979? I mean, the attendance is a nice to have, but ultimately it's all about the result isn't it?
  8. Whoops, sorry Owl, my bad. I obviously read that wrong, sorry.
  9. Now what was the biggest league 1/Division 3 gate Owl, did you find it?
  10. Can't imagine what the manager was thinking there, all on him that one. 4 at the back, 2 in midfield and 4 up front away to one of the best sides in the league. Videos work fine BTW, great to see the bus in full swing.
  11. Some crowd that. Wonder what the best ever was/is.
  12. Yes, I watched them last night against Middlesborough. The Tony Mowbray illness hasn't hasn't helped them at all which may eventually be their downfall. I think he's on the mend and I wish him well, just hope he doesn't rush back too quickly, take your time Tony.😂 I was fearing the worst when they held onto Stansfield and then signed Pritchard from Sunderland but it's not working for them yet, but things can change quickly.
  13. Quite. On some of the Owls fans forums I go on they were bemoaning the fact that as we'd started to win then so had the other teams just above us but what that does do inevitably is rope more teams into the battle, there's only so many points to go round.
  14. We'll probably lose the next one as well Owl, away to Ipswich but you never know. At least the manager has put us in with a chance now after all looked lost not so long ago. What is that vehicle you thought was a bus, I can't make it out. Is that the hat lady giving us all a wave.
