Go On The Owls
Wednesday booked their place in the playoffs today.At long last something to look forward to.Its been too long!

Is Steve Mclean due back any time soon.Hasn't been much word on his progress.I remember sturrock saying it would be the playoffs before hed be back.
great to here it.I was rooting for them all season even though im a leicester fan.Hope to see ye in the championship next year.Ye made hard work of it the last few weeks.
We sure did.But id say if we could of kept jones and o Brien for the rest of the season we might of got automatic.Those two made a big difference to our season.And if we do get promoted hopefully we can interest the both of them.
I hope you go up, a club like Sheffield Wednesday should play higher - they got an impressive average crowd, even in Second Division. And a Sheffield derby is always something to look forward to.
By the way, where does the club name come from ?? It would be too simple to just guess they were founded on a Wednesday, so was it named after some organisation or place or so ?
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club was ‘born’ on the evening of Wednesday 4
September 1867, at a meeting of the members of The Wednesday Cricket Club – named after the day that the players, primarily local craftsmen, took a
half-day off work to participate.
I've suffered so much following them, I feel as if was there was in 1867 myself.
Thats crazy they formed on the fourth of September.I never knew that,Thats my birthday.Supporting wednesday is like a rollercoaster but its mostly down hill with sumkind of hill but it never reaches the top.
There you go - it was fate that you followed them. Were you in the Supporters' Club in Dublin ? I used to do a newsletter called THE RARE OWL TIMES
I was amazed to find that having thought for years I was the only Owls Supporter in Ireland, there were at least 50 other lunatics that support a team which loses more often than it wins but who love it. No glory hunters there.
No i wasnt in the supporters club.I was a bit too young when the one actually existed.I remember seeing in the herald every thursdai, I think it was thursday.There used to be one up in tallaght.That was the closest to me.Id like to see a supporters club.There is alot more out there than you would think.Its just a pain theres more arsenal fans to remind us of 93.
Man alive I didn't think I'd find a couple of Wednesday heads on foot.ie
Owls (and Shels) fan here since 1992.
Have either of you been over this season? I was at the Barnsley away game, and am hoping to go to the home playoff leg and of course Cardiff if we get there!
Hope Wednesday go up, always liked the club.
The Owls are swarming. 1991/2/3 was a fertile ground for recruiting Wednesday fans with the League Cup victory over Man U in 1991 and the 2 Cup finals against Arsenal in 1993. I go back to the 1966 Cup final!
No, haven't been over since the last Sheffield derby which is a few years back. Will go to Cardiff if Wednesday get there.
Greatest Owls memory: League Cup Final 1991 (John Sheridan goal) and the semi-final League cup first leg win in Blackburn 1-4 in 1993. Magic.
Fair play to the Owls fans for sticking with the club in difficult times !
Ashamed to say it but never been to Hillsborough.The only premiership game i saw with them playing was in villa park back in 98.Two all.Our own Steve staunton scored a peach that day to give villa a share of the points.Will go over hillsborough next season,Flights from Dublin to Doncaster are operating now.Will definetly try to get to Cardiff if we make it.Jus hope we dont get Tranmere in the semis.
Best way is to fly to Manchester and take train to Sheffield. I've done this numerous times as a day trip. It's tight after the game rushing back to catch the train back to Manchester. Always amuses me to see all the Man U colours on the plane and they trying to see who the lunatic with the Owls scarf is.
hey TheOwls,
Make sure you get over for the derby next year if we go up - a peach of a game.
Was on the Kop for Wednesday's 2-0 win there a few years back when Owusu came on for his debut and scored with more or less his first touch of the game. We all thought he was going to become a Wednesday legend - pity how things turn out.
Was also at the first league derby we had with the Pigs after we dropped out of the Premiership; we lost 2-1 but there was 39,000 there that day as there was no restrictions on tickets or anything - some athmosphere.
Best Wednesday memory was when we went top of the league a good few years back after winning our first four games. I was at the first two 2-1 victory over Villa at home an a magical 2-0 away win at Elland Road (there was a guy in an Offaly jersey in front of me at the Wednesday end). My Dad and I then drove up to Scotland for Shels Cup-winners Cup match with Kilmarnock - Kilmarnock scored in the 3rd min of stoppage time to win 2-1. Second leg at Tolka was 1-1.
Haha didn't realise there were that many of us Owls fans on foot, should get on the World Football thread more often I suppose. Looks like we'll be playing Brentford in the play off semis anyway, which is okay by me, I wanted to avoid Tranmere at all costs. When we get up to the Championship though we should organise a group to head over to Hillsborough for the derby game alright, shame that **** Warnock won't be managing United anymore though, well that is if he sticks to his promise to resign if they don't get promoted this season, what a plank!
Just ordered my tickets for the Brentford Home Leg on Thursday - can't wait.
COME ON THE OWLS!!!!
Brentford are the weakest of the 4 teams in the play-offs so, touch wood. the Owls have a chance in that one. Anyone know whether the games are on Sky. I expect Tranmere to beat Hartlepool, setting up hopefully an Owls vs Tranmere final. 1st time I won't be rooting for Jason. I think Tranmere did the double over Wednesday this year.
Enjoy the game - no last minute goals by the opposition pleasssssseeeeeee.
