Match off.........frozen pitch!

seems it was posponed i suppose it was deliberate, try to get us an advantage. maybe we're trying to hold it off till sodje returns in pre season:D

Cue Blades fans: "Oh your stadium is ****, what a joke of a club...." etc. etc.

cant afford the heating then....??

Coventry Match Off
Posted on: Tue 19 Feb 2008

Sheffield Wednesday's match against Coventry City has been called off following a pitch inspection at 12.15pm today.

The club has been using undersoil heating since Sunday but persistent severe frost and freezing fog has left the surface unplayable.

Local referee, Craig Porter, inspected the pitch and immediately decided to postpone the Championship match.

jesus your stadium is **** what a joke club.

What a shame, i was looking forward to going and freezing mi nuts off! Best go to pub then! Yesssss! :hihi:

seems it was posponed i suppose it was deliberate, try to get us an advantage. maybe we're trying to hold it off till sodje returns in pre season:D

Your statement might be in jest but exactly how many fit strikers do you have at the minute?
Hmmm the conspiracy theorists might again speculate on this one.
With wednesday not in any cup competition it doesn't clog up the calender one extra match now does it?

what has happend to undersoil heatin we have got?????????
some one put a quid in meter n get it goin

does undersoil heating guarantee a game can go ahead? maybe its not fully fixed after the floods. yes, it was in jest freyas, i'm not even going into this again though, blunts can think what you like

cut out the crap lads.... the weather has been worse than this and we have played in worse...:loopy:

embarrassment to the league!!!

"The under-soil heating had been on since Sunday. But with temperatures plunging to minus 8 degrees in parts yesterday, the Hillsborough pitch was considered unfit for the game." :suspect:

yep... that will do tell'em that!:suspect:

what a great stadium we av.....:suspect:
the pride....:suspect:
the...:suspect:

:gag:

first its the rain now its the frost.... what next?
Leafs on the pitch????:P

sod it blame the chairman....??? cant
blame the fans......???? been there done that....
blame the ball boys..... funny lookin kids that lot!!



Be Reight,**** Happens !

To think that this so called stadium was once host to a world cup match :hihi::hihi::hihi:

Ah well at least i keep warm tonight :D

What a shame, i was looking forward to going and freezing mi nuts off! Best go to pub then! Yesssss! :hihi:

That not going to spend your juds winings on beer are tha.:suspect::suspect:

There's no better atmosphere when the stadium is full & rockin like vs Kaiserslautern. The best grounds in the world to watch football like Red Star Belgrade's & the San Siro are not inbedded with hotels & museums, they are cold hard partizan places! That generaly have cold stone seat!!The Nou Camp isn't exactly 'nice' as far as comfort goes!. Hillsborough would still get the nod over Bramall Lane if a Euro Champ or WC match had to be played in Sheff.

And you say the Blades live in the past :hihi::hihi::hihi:
Probably the last time it was full I am guessing.
And with the corner bit falling to pieces NO it wouldn't get the nod over BDTBL for a Euro or WC cup game I am afraid.

blades and the corner bit :o you had to demolish a full stand
and had to sell players left right and center which i recall some fans said had cost them promotion (maybe wrong deane blake fjotoff etc etc)no so long ago

who was the chaiman back then? and whats to say the same cant happen at hillsbourgh? we only go on about the past because some off you guys have short memories

it wasnt long ago when you were in the brown stuff i think you blades are bricking it in case we do get investment and natural order is restored :P after all we beat you 2.0 at one of our lowest points in our long history

question to you blades just what is the best achivement you have witnessed by your team ?

"Your successes are our failures while our successes are your dreams" U.T.O F.T.P W.T.I.D :D

I dont know which nou camp your on about but the one I have been to numerous times is magnificent and the training ground accross the road is better than our sheffield grounds and regularly gets over 20000 watching training sessions .nou camp 98700 seats the stadium can be emptied in five minutes due to underground car parks leaving in all directions.

i admire blades who have stuck with there team through thin and thinner

your team lets you down when it matters most admit it

semi finals,play offs,don givens,wigan seems to me that the games that mean the most to the fans you lose

wednesday have had there fair share dont get me wrong but i have memories off semi finals , finals, europe, and never been in the lower tier off the football league and also witnessed a euro 96 cup game at our ground

"Your successes are our failures while our successes are your dreams" U.T.O F.T.P W.T.I.D

i
wednesday....... never been in the lower tier off the football league

Yet, but don't underestimate the present quartet in control (not) 's ability to to take us there.

When they all jump ship, let's hope we've got a decent parachute fitted.

Start up whatever conspiracy theories you like, but I for one am not disappointed game is off. Re-arrange it for when we have a better idea of which club needs the points most.

I never like playing a club on the back of a humiliating thrashing, with a new manager watching the players he is about to inherit from the stand, where 99% of them will be trying to impress.

I haven't forgotten the backlash we got, after Gullit was sacked at Newcastle.

How long until the league start handing out fines for postponed matches? does that make it three or four at Swillsborough this season?

Most of those on here probably aren't even old enough to remeber and those who are are probably too old and have forgot!!:loopy:

Ay, i think its called Bulls**t!!

you would have witnessed more if the piggy chairman didn't say to the piggy manager HEY SELL :hihi::hihi:

Ay the Anglo Italian Cup :hihi:

refresh my memory or yours without looking up on google

refresh my memory or yours without looking up on google

We lost 2-1 at home to Reggina (i think) in about '94 and we had Blake, Bassett, Hodges and Hartfield sent off.

Littlejohn scored for us, couldn't even begin to tell you who got theirs.

Ay the Anglo Italian Cup :hihi: - which in all fairness is just about the micky mouse standards you played at in your 2 European Nights at Hillsborough!!

Wasn't the Anglo Italian only for second division teams when you were in it, and Port Vale reached the final?

I think you will find Kaiserslautern had won the Bundesliga just 16 months before Wednesday met them (and they might have won it a lot more, had their finances allowed them to continue bribing referees).

So the Bundesliga is a Mickey Mouse league?

You Blades really were spoilt, weren't you.

Your only meaningful European Competition was at Neuve Chappelle and on the Somme, after you won the cup in 1915!

All a little dodgy isn't it.....when we played em they had the tarpoling out and a few heaters out of the cupboard to make sure the match went ahead!!

Wind your neck back in sweetheart, only having a bit of lighthearted fun with you!!!

oh and we last won the FA Cup in 1925 thanks!!! :hihi:

& You only won the cup in 1915 because everybody else (apart from Chelsea) was already away fighting a war by then! :)

MTK is right, we missed out on Europe twice - as did Wimbledon, Norwich, Coventry, Palace and a host of others between 1986 and 1991, thanks to the scousers.

Didn't you lot have to resort to planting a bomb in a nearby street, after painting a swastika on it, to get a game against Oldham called off, a few years ago?

Spot on Geo.
That bomb was on Lancing Road right next to my uncles house, the one who's funeral i was just over for last month.
he had no clue, came home from work and they had the whole street blocked off, they did allow him to go in the house, get a few clothes and that was it.
Remember the picture in the paper ? It was a snow covered bramall Lane and somebody had written the words OFF BOMB in the snow :hihi::hihi:

no ifs no buts no maybes i have witnessed my club in a european comp have you witnessed yours ?


you want to start going to bread and butter games mate i was talking to you on here other week when you had an home game.

wendy for premier and europe i take it not for life.

Were your family living in that same house in 1940, and have they been all the time since?

If so, then I'd say they have been rather lucky to get the last 68 years in then, and we must all thank God it didn't go off!

But, without wishing to be disrespectful in any way; had it gone off, you probably wouldn't have to come over, and wouldn't have seen the game at Hillsborough, would you! :)

I dont know which nou camp your on about but the one I have been to numerous times is magnificent and the training ground accross the road is better than our sheffield grounds and regularly gets over 20000 watching training sessions .nou camp 98700 seats the stadium can be emptied in five minutes due to underground car parks leaving in all directions.


5 minutes my a***. took me 20 minutes to walk down from top tier and oxygen tank weighed a ton.

google nou camp

i'm not argueing what it says mate it says oxo on buses but they dont sell it. when i went there was 90,000 there brilliant experiance recomend it to any football fan and i saw ronaldinio score a 30 yard free kick. but still a reight walk up and down to top tier. and stuck on coach park for an hour and half afterwards.

and still he throws the bait :)

He lived there since about 1970 to coincide with the Blades glory year(s) :D
Dont picture you as a disrespectful person Geo and no I wouldn't have had to step foot in the Sty, still have to take the scrubbing brush to my body every night in the shower ;)

Aye this is my memory too :) Am I bothered I've never seen my team in a "real" european competition? Not really, it's going to come soon :) Whilst our cup wins in our history are many many years ago and I wasn't even anywhere born at the point, they are getting further and further away for the owls. I firmly believe that both the owls and Blades will only be able to look in the history books to see when we last won something and not remember anything. Sad times all round

btw whats "OT"?

OT = Old Trafford, its where clubs who get to Semi Finals sometimes play. Its also the home ground of Manchester United, they're a Premier League team, no need to bother you with the details :hihi:

it was the 74/75 season.

Yeah thanks BB , Made a mistake it was 1974-75

First Division

David Mackay guided Derby County to their second league title in four years having overcome strong competition from Liverpool, Ipswich Town, Everton, Stoke City, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough in a title race which went right to the wire. There was disappointment at Bramall Lane after Sheffield United's title challenge ended in a failure without even a UEFA Cup place, but this would be as good as it got for the Blades as a sharp decline soon set in and within a few seasons had pushed them into the Fourth Division.

Second Division

Manchester United's directors kept faith in Tommy Docherty after their relegation to the Second Division, and he rewarded them with the Second Division championship to return them to the top flight. They were joined by Aston Villa (who also won the League Cup) and Norwich City. Docherty had built a new-look team containing players like Jim Holton, Stuart Pearson and Jimmy Greenhoff. Meanwhile, FIFA finally lifted George Best's worldwide ban from football. But Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty was not prepared to give him another chance at Old Trafford, and he joined Stockport County F.C. on a free transfer.

Millwall, Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday were the three unlucky clubs who were unable to escape the Second Division drop zone. In the space of a few years, Sheffield Wednesday had slumped to the Third Division having previously been a strong First Division side.

We had to beat Birmingham to get into the Europe and drew 0-0 :mad:

Hillsborough would still get the nod over Bramall Lane if a Euro Champ or WC match had to be played in Sheff.[/QUOTE]

Are you on drugs or what?
You cant even stage some champ games because of the weather

they wont ever play a wc game in sheffield now, i wouldnt of thought. anyway, is it the 2018 wc were bidding for, by that time wednesday could of had investment or whatever and had the staduim sorted out or even moved, who knows. at the moment though i wouldnt say either are good enough or the fa wouldnt use them

then stop judging me.

if you were sticking up for fellow blades as you say
why did you put stop judging ME
instead of judging US ?
i never stated you were biting so how can you ask "whos biting now"
and did we really have a spat ?
or was that you who had lost your :cool:

still buster tho :D a nini nana noo

got to take my hat off to you tho not many fans have followed there club like you

When our new Kop is Built and the corner between the South Stand and Kop is filled in we'll have a ground ready for the World Cup in 2018.

McCabe is already working in conjunction with the FA to make sure any re development of Bramall Lane is in keeping with the specifications the FA are looking for in grounds to host international matches.

You Wednesday fans are priceless, Bramall Lane is a great stadium and in use 7 days a week making us money all the time, not like Hillsborough.

Don't get me wrong Hillsborough was a cracking ground in its day and is one of the few traditional football grounds left but its very dated these days with one good stand.

I suppose been on a flood plain doesn't help matters!!

well i'm not on the utd board so i dont know about that. maybe it would be ready for the wc, i dont know but saying that, no one knows what state either club will be in at that time. theres nothing to say wednesday will eventually have a takeover, the new owners decide its not viable or too expensive to repair hillsborough and move to a brand new stadium that can host wc matches, you blades will probably say no one will buy wednesday but you cant speak for investors, anythings possible

you blades will probably say no one will buy wednesday but you cant speak for investors, anythings possible

I honestly dont see a takeover and can see administration coming to the sty.
Just on here alone we have heard of 3 or 4 takeover bids and they have all fallen through, why do you suppose that is ?
No one in their right mind would want to chuck away 50 million quid before you even get started they would have to be :loopy:

Well you never know mate.

My concern about these takeovers is those involved don't seem to be interested in the football side of things just how much money they can make.

I find it strange a club like QPR has been taken over by a consortium of super wealthy business men, but they do have the advantage of been based in London.

I wouldn't say no one will take over Wednesday but i don't see a Dennis Hobson type character offering too much in the way of wealth or making a huge difference. The bills still need to be paid as does the debt.

To be honest, there have been 3 or 4 rumours of takeovers - there has only been one take over attempt which failed.

I do tend to agree though, any investor who comes in will more than likely simply shore up the debt - asking any single investor to plough £50 million in for no return is not likely to happen.

Administration may yet be an option - if someone is waiting in the wings to invest, waiting until the club is available to buy at a rock bottom price would be a sound bit of business.

maybe not but there might be some. its not known wether wednesdayite or allen have been the cause of previous failings. even so, i dont know if they'd need to spend £50 million to takeover. leeds didnt even own their ground and had god knows how much debt but still got a takeover. i'm not saying it will go through as i've learnt not to believe it till it happens with wednesday but its not beyond happening, just got to wait. i do believe that administration will happen if a takeover doesnt happen by end of season, hoping it doesnt get that bad though

Who's been re-writing football history?

United never mounted a title challenge - they had a late run and finished 6th.

And a win at Brum wouldn't have meant a place in the UEFA Cup. Only the champs qualified for the European Cup, and the UEFA Cup places went to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the League Cup Winners (Villa).

A win at Brum (unless by something like 10 - 0) would have meant United finishing 5th in 74/75 (remember only 2 points for a win in those days).

http://www.fchd.info/lghist/fl/fl1975.htm

If I remember correctly the number of points Derby got for the title was the lowest ever - and they clinched the title with a 0-0 draw at home to relegated Carlisle.

And come 75/76 United were as good as relegated at Christmas.
