25 Day's To Go And Counting

[CorkerSWFC 10]

Only 25 day's to go till the big kick off.

Each day let's all try and find a mad fact either about Wednesday, United, or football as a whole which will get us past the hardest bit of pre season, the last month or so lol.

 

A 1984 match between Sheffield United and Oldham was postponed when a war-time bomb was found near Bramall Lane.

In 2008-2009 Wednesday did the double over the blades

The highest number of goals ever scored in a local derby was 7 by the Blades

lets keep this to actual facts people- and we can have a nice *civilised* thread counting down the days till the world becomes normal again and we have football back in our lives ;)

[Billy B 10]

That is a fact the score was 7 - 3 to United

Hillsborough

[scottf 21]

Bramall lane is the oldest major stadium in the world to be hosting professional football matches.

41.000, a record for any 1 side of supporters at the Millenium Stadium.

Sheffield United's Keith Gillespie holds the Premiership's fastest sending off record. Officially recorded as being 0 seconds on Jan 20th 2007, when he came on as a sub and elbowed Readings Stephen Hunt before play had officially resumed.

 

I thought Pressman's 13 seconds against Wolves (although not in the Premiership) was quick, but 0 seconds takes some beating.
