Bypassblade   10 #18 Posted September 7, 2012 1820 is the year that the sporting institute that turned into Sheffield Wednesday, so as a sporting club, not just a football club Wednesday are a lot older then 145 years old.  No they are not, they were not recognised as a football club then, its like saying the Titanic was a ship on the blueprints, till it happens it doesn't exist.

Brian the Blade meet your match.:roll:.  It was anecdotal.  A sports club has existed longer then just the football club.  Not a hard concept, is it?  There are some German clubs which claim to have a far longer history on their crest, by virtue that a sports club existed before the football club, and no one seems to mind.  Chesterfield claim the date of a football club which ceased to exist as their own, just to beat Wednesday by a few years etc.  I was just saying. Some might find it interesting, other more pedantic people choose to not to and find being argumentative the best sport in this forum.
