Sty Experience

[SwissBlade]

- Ground looks bigger than I remember.
- Drummer kills their atmosphere
- Tannoy was not even audible
- posts block the view
- Well done to them for selling out, they need to do this regularly if they can call themselves massive... or even of moderate size
- away end facilities are awful
- none of the stewards knew the disinfectant procedure for after the game.

 

[Kenilworth]

That fecking drum is annoying
Clapping seal droids

 

[Bladesman]

The drum annoys even some of the Wednesday fans.

They must think a drummer makes them MASSIVE like Barca.

 

[WhiteHawk]

That drum definitely kills the atmosphere.

Does anyone else think that despite their numbers, they didn't really make THAT much noise? They were very loud when they scored (obviously) and with the "Hi Hi Sheffield Wednesday" bollocks before each half but for the rest of the game they didn't even come close to being that loud.

They were very quiet for most of the game. But as is their way, if they think it's going to be their day they oooze out of every stinking orifice from Parson's Cross to Baaaaaaaarnsley to crowe about it.

I agree whiters. They were very quiet.
My first time at the sty for 19 years and the noise when they scored was less than half of what I remembered.

It was just as predictably depressing as i can always remember it being.

On the tram i got to Hillsborough before the match, it came under heavy fire outside Legends outside Hillsborough corner, with bricks, pint glasses and anything else that came to hand, which wasn't nice as i was pushed up against a window, and i could have quite easily been seriously injured if one had come through the window. I'm a big lad who can look after myself, which wouldn't have been so bad, but there was women and children on that tram.

After the match, there was 5 of us who got separated from all the rest of the Blades, and told to get down Langsett Road towards Hillsborough to get back in to town. Had to walk right down through Hillsborough corner surrounded by hundred's of Wednesdayites all braying for blood, and all it would have took is for someone to spot us and realise we was Blades and we would have been on a hiding to nothing.

You can't take the passion away from a derby game, but what an element of (and don't think we are completely blameless because we aren't) both sides supporters get up to goes beyond stupidity, oversteps the mark and is bang out of order.

 

[2ndtenorblade]

Still within the thread title, the away end (upper tier) is not safe, the exits not wide enough the concourse not big enough, it would be impossible to evacuate safely and quickly. I have vowed never to set foot there again.

 

[Kenilworth]

When we were walking back to the car there was a Wendy youf who went to pet a police dog and it snapped at him (thick b'tard - the Wendy, not the dog)
Then he was all miffed that this had happened.
The gene pool is limited down thant neck of the woods

 

[madeinsheffield]

We had some myther before the game walking past the park after getting off the tram, we are all aged between 40 and 50 and we had 6 kids with us, didn't stop some scum coming at us, even when we pointed out we were with kids he said what you gonna do about it, the inevitable scuffle followed and three of them followed in, couple of us ended up with a few marks and scrapes, one of the young sons was mortified, it really took the edge off the build up, kids shouldn't have to see stuff like that.
We've all got fans that like a tear up, but i thought there was an unwritten rule that you scrap with like for like fans, not older blokes who have kids with them, wankers!

On a brighter note the nobhead who led this was Id'd and banged up before the game, police found us and asked for a statement ensuring he would be in a cell for the afternoon.

Can't believe the police who were all over the place yesterday left a large section of middlewood road un manned, leaving us and others exposed to that

 

[bricktop]

I know exactly what you mean, because on the way back i was horribly exposed.

It's by the good grace of god that i'm not waking up in hospital with my head caved in, or worse.

 

[JJ Sefton]

I know exactly what you mean, because on the way back i was horribly exposed.

The moral of this story; always check to make sure youve zipped up.

 

[bricktop]

Moral of the story, is keep your head down, keep walking, and say nowt.

Over the years i've been to most football grounds, and done all the toughest away days, but yesterday was probably the worst situation i could have found myself in. The only thing comparable that i've seen is being on the platform at South Bermondsey station when it kicked off with Millwall last season, and that was fucking scary, but yesterday was worse, as on that occasion the Millwall fans wouldn't have known if i was one of them or a Blade, yesterday someone could very easily have identified me as a Blade and got me a kicking.

The only Wednesdayite who did spot me was a good mate from work, who walked part of the way with me, and didn't really say much as he didn't want to drop me in it.

 

[super_pig]

glad you're ok brownie.. these people have no class.. and they won as well.. retards..
can't wait to stand waving on the dronfield bypass.. waiting for the bastards to come back from their play off defeat at wembley..

 

[madeinsheffield]

We were walking and saying nowt, one of us got singled out and three of them were grappling with him as soon as he said we're only with young kids, we weren't wearing colours/badges etc etc

 

[super_pig]

ironically colours usually make you safe from the real nutters as they won't attack ordinary punters.. (there is a code for this kind of thing believe it or not)
can't understand their mentality.. usually trouble starts when a team has lost.. not won

 

[madeinsheffield]

I always thought there was a 'code of conduct' which includes families etc but not with this lot, it was before the game, if there was one day I really wanted to stuff em it was yesterday!!

 

[ZoneManWilf]

That 7 foot wall made all the difference.

 

[JimJones]

There was a group of particularly limited cranial capacity on our way back to the car, proper set of wankers. Could have passed for a shitty, middle aged tribute act to The Blackout Crew. Right little scrotes. All with young kids, too. One of our bright lot decided he'd avoid such issues by wearing the fluorescent yellow away shirt from a few years ago

Course, they came excitably bounding over getting in his face and generally acting like they'd just been offered a group jump by Cheryl Cole. It was clear we weren't up for it so they moved onto the next lot walking down. They were still there an hour later when we eventually got out of the 'car park'.

I really don't understand their mentality. They weren't exactly young lads at 15/16, they were in their late twenties/early thirties. I have a fair few Owls fans (more Hudds and Leeds being from Wakefield) and the banter between opposing fans is what makes it worthwhile for me. As for standing around trying to get a rise out of random fans and risking damaging your career/family life etc. by gaining a criminal record for football violence is just mindless. They clearly have something fundamental missing in their lives to want to physically harm somebody just because they happen support another football team.

 

[axel smeets]

They'll still be parading the three points around parson cross the fucking heroin injecting, car thieving set of scrubbers.

 

[SwissBlade]

Did they actually use the 'wall of steel' when we came out it was there, but not segregating anything, There was a huge police presence probably 10 lines of 5 spaced 10 metres apart up the road to where the tram lines are ( no idea of road names), all staring forward, but not keeping an eye out behind them.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Not quite sure what the police cordon/wall of steel was supposed to be doing. I turned right out of the stand, walked straight through the coppers and walked down Penistone Road and nobody said a word.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Where's the BBC when you need them? Some of their lot needed sorting out after their cowardly actions against the chippy queue at the Lane. Not that I'm condoning violence of course....

 

[debbyblade]

Copied & pasted from Facebook so sorry it's not very easy on the eye, also takes a bit of ploughing through, but here's a "conversation" I had with a Wednesday fan & several others yesterday. This lad is in his thirties & his dad has been a good mate of mine for over 30 years. Not your typical Wednesday fan - but do you think ANY Blade would stoop this low? Some comments were removed by another friend (just in case some bits don't make sense). Steve is the dad, Stevie is the neanderthal son





Deb Wasden
Losing today was a mild disappointment but one game doesn't make a season. I'd rather be in our position than theirs. We play football, not hoofball. Our manager has more class in his little finger than theirs has in his whole body. They're saying "the city is ours" - since when was south Barnsley a city? As an aside, no need to check other websites for results - just look on Facebook. If Stevie Steve Spooner is posting Wednesday have won, if he's quiet they've lost. Simples!



Deb Awww, bless ;-)

Deb My feelings exactly Chris

Mick not saying anything...

Stevie Hoooooooooooofffffff!!

Stevie UTO FTP

Chris S*****r is that Megsons team talk?

Mick he's not that technical

Mick at the end of the day, if you finish 2nd you miss the playoffs and we wouldn't want you missing them would we

Mick sorry couldn't resist the 'p' word

Deb No Mick - we love the playoffs ;-)

Mick except the results

Mick three blades just walked up our road - two kids all scarfed up eating mcD's - dad (presuming) almost in tears - go figure

Chris I never went to game which u know but 5 live said we had 2 penalty shouts! One was a dive by Williamson I think they said? The other a stone waller on Evans!

Mick I've seen better down the park than today

Stevie ‎2 peno shouts?? Hahaha!! She said noooooo evans, she said nooooooo! Obviously armchair blunts........

Stevie Mouthy??? Say it as it is sweet cheeks. Not good enough today and all this hoof ball shit. What did you bring? Nothing. 1-0 end of. WTID

Mick as Harry Hill would say 'figggghhhhhtttttt'

Steve r soz deb don't want to get involved with all the stupid post but there is far more distance between s6 and south barnsley than s14 and north chesterfield love u

Stevie Fuck off utd this city is ours.

Deb Grown up Steve - yiour ground to south Barnsley - 10.2 miles, our ground to north Chesterfield - 9.3 miles. Hardly "far more distance"! Immature S******r - Chris is FAR from an armchair supporter - he'd just finished a 14 hour night ...shift & he has two small kids, he also doesn't like spending money which will go in your coffers, and is there really any need for that language? Sign of a limited intelligence & vocabulary!


Liam Wasden ‎"Stevie". As you call our fans armchair supporters, do you not find that quite ironic seeing as you don't have a season ticket? How many away games have you been to this season?

Like the extra 10,000 you got today, you only came because it was United and you were excited to see us. Of that you cannot deny.

Stevie Mr w****n. Do you really want to go there? I have been to more home AND away matches you can name this season so I have more than enough experience,I thank u. I would no spout like I do otherwise.

Steve please read what i said deb chabbie lives s6 you live s14 then work the distance out

Liam But no season ticket? The definition of a part timer.

I would carry on debating with you but you articulate your point like a 10 year old during a tantrum.

Deb Steve - I was on about the ground location not where anyone lives xxx

Stevie Fuck off Liam. I pay EVERY week to watch who I love. What difference does it it make If I don't have a season ticket? I am putting more into my club so fuck u. I'm at rochdale and will be where ever wednesday are so dont you dare give it the big un

Liam My point proven. Just like your manager, you lack class and your only defence to criticism is to abuse others. I bet you were one of those fans chanting to Jean-Francois hoping he dies. Pretty shameful don't you think?

Stevie I hope all you piggies die, yeah,not ashamed one bit. Fick u. Dont any of you cunts question my loyalty. You want to talk About it then send
Mea PM. Fuck you blunt bastards.

Deb His dad is a top bloke, his sister is a top lass - they must be ashamed to have such a moronic individual in their family

Deb Thanks S*****r - you do know how ill I am don't you

Liam Well done Steve. You do know how seriously ill Deb is don't you? You really are an embarrassment. Just shut up now before things get a lot worse for you.

Stevie You give it, then take it. Give it the big un and question my loyalty??? Fuck u. I am what I am. Wednesday. Your a blunt. End of. I've also been there so dont dare abuse me otherwise.

Liam You give it, you take it?

You said you want us to die on the same status as Deb who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. I don't remember ever wishing such a thing on anyone, let alone a family friend.

Just log off, calm down an...d apologies in the morning when you realise what you have said.

I know many Wednesday fans that are reasonable and I can chat to about the game but you really are a classless fuckwit that shows the rest of the decent fans up.


Stevie Chorus, 1 d*******y rd Loxley. Lets see how much of a big man u are.

Deb Chris - I rather enjoy watching the hole he's digging himself into get larger by the minute, would be a shame to block him ;-)

Ange About as much class and dignity as his manager showed today

Deb S*****r - bad move! You've obviously never met Chris, his brother & mates. Your dad must be so proud of you now

Stevie I've. Never run and never will. Been locked up for you cunts before and will do again fuck u blunt cunts.

Stevie Who said I was known? Fuckin plum. Fuck u. Absolute fuckin dick

Steve OK THATS ENOUGH WHY DON'T YOU ALL DO YOUR SELVES A FAVOUR AND BLOCK EACH OTHER THIS LOT IS GETTING TOTALY OUT OF HAND AND I BLAME ALL OF YOU FOR STOKING IT FOR GODS SAKE WE ARE ONE OF THE BIGGASTS CITYS IN THIS COUNTRY AND FIGHTING ABOUT TWO THIRD RATE THIRD DIVISOIN FOOTBALL TEAMS THE LOT OF YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED

Deb The difference being, I don't wish death on any Wednesday fans. I'm all for a bit of banter, especially on derby day. I can understand Wednesday fans being happy at beating their local rivals - however your son has reached a new low

Steve we are old enough and hopefully wise enogh to know better than to get into all the nastyness and either ignore it or block it and let the unwise carry on why he and you and liam have eachother unblocked is beyond me but this does not make nice reading on either side but i do applaude you for not reverting to the foul language of others for my part i will take the piss to your face when i see you hahaha

Stevie Low? Like the blunts clipping innocent shirters? No. Don't believe it! Keep your blinkers on debs. I'll keep mine on.

Deb Sobering up now are we? Read this thread back - wishing death on ill people is rather worse than "clipping" someone! Steve - we always have a few words with your lad after a big game and it gets heated but always ends amicably, this time however, he's overstepped the mark big time. Sadly for him he's also upset someone who really shouldn't be messed with.

Steve not had a drink all day deb

Stevie Bring it on. Not shy in the slightest.

Stevie Don't take kindly the threats

Steve if he was blocked and not encouraged then there woud not be a problem my point exactley

Deb Didn't mean you grown up Steve! And I'm enjoying watching your lad getting himself into even deeper shit. To be honest I expected better from you, if Liam had put comments like that on here I'd have him on the Town Hall steps apologising! Oh, and young S*****r - where are the threats? Just mentioned that there are certain of my friends who take exception to your comments.

Stevie Haha! Totally underestimated. Let's see shall we.........


I have had an email from him today with an apology - however he couldn't quite grow a pair big enough to apologise in public - where he made these comments in the first place

 

[alcoblade]

Stevie Spooner - an insult to Neandethals. Megson would love him. What a bunch, eh?

[grafikhaus]

I didn't go on Sunday (I try to avoid the area, let alone the 'stadium'), but it seems the police allowed a scenario where it was almost open season on Blades - young, old, male, female, the pigs don't mind.

It was all predictable - a big, nay massive crowd would see every retard and knuckle dragger descend from the vast townships that populate this ass-end of Sheffield.

The early kick-off was ostensibly to 'prevent trouble' but, with some pubs opening at 8, plus the small matter of being able to drink at home, meant this was never going to work.

I have believed for many years that policing at football matches is designed to actually, and pro-actively encourage trouble. That way, they can 'earn' their overtime, justify their presence, dress up as Robocop, smash a few (often innocent) heads and be back home for tea and medals to brag about their 'exploits'.

It's clear the cops 'turned a blind eye' to large numbers of scum around Middlewood Road (as they did with the fifty-or-so 'heroes' who marauded down Shoreham Street before the first game.) The allowed several trams to be pelted and generally didn't improve the situation one bit.

Hopefully, we won't face these retards (and it's not just the 'fans', that fat pig Hurst was going mental in the RS studio, Rob Staton was spaffing himself etc.) for a few years.

But if we do, I wouldn't give them a single ticket for BDTBL. Not one. They've proved - twice this season - that they're not fit to be let out of the monkey house. If they reciprocate, so what? If the police are going to do nothing to ensure the safety of women, children, elderly people, it's not worth the risk.

The average pig fan makes the people on Jeremy Kyle and Shameless look intelligent.

Really? Presumably you believe they encourage murders, burglaries, drink driving and rapes too then.

I've read some shit on here, but this beats all.

Do you know any police officers? I do, and the last thing they want is any trouble. They don't all love doing lots of overtime. Some of them actually like to spend their time off with their families rather than supervising members of the public who want to harm other members of the public in the name of football.

They don't force people to drink and act like dickheads. Whenever there is an early kick-off you will find some "enterprising" publican who opens ridiculously early. Perhaps these pubs should be shut permanently, and the licensees fined or imprisoned. I know of people who were in pubs at this time. Most won't have caused any trouble at all, but some people become violent when under the influence of alcohol. Drinking for breakfast won't have helped, and even if there had been a blanket closure of pubs some would have opened their "back door" for "regulars".

But suggesting that the police "pro-actively encourage trouble" is ridiculous. Any other rubbish you "believe"?

 

[grafikhaus]

A calm and reasoned response. Not.

How about when they let known hoolies straight out into Bramall Lane after a game?

Couldn't agree more, Brownie.

The last time I went there was the 2-1 defeat in the League Cup some years ago.

I was on the tram from the Bankers that arrived at the Leppings Lane end tram stop. It was full of Blades of all ages, most wearing shirts. As the tram pulled in, the thugs charged as people were getting off and just indiscriminately waded into anybody. I was one of the last off and missed being attacked then.

I had no colours on so just wandered slowly down the top bit of Leppigs Lane and was suddenly aware of three youths going "Piggy Fan" at me. From the corner of my eye I noticed they were big lads. I'm 6'2" and they were my size and young - I was 51 maybe and although on the outside I look like a big striong chap, I have a chronic lung condition so I'm not going to want to fight. Running 50 yards knackers me!

I knew I had to do the right thing and some of mates at the time said I should have said that I was a Blade, so what! In the end I just turned to them and looked the biggest in the eye and said, in an accent I judged to be about Stockton or Darlington but not broad enough to be classed as Geordie, "I'm no Piggy fan, I support Selby Town, North Eastern Counties League."

They were immediately non-threatening, slapping me on the shoulder and shaking my hand, and told me I should look out for my self as there were some nasty characters about and they wished me luck....

If only I'd still had the strength of my egg chasing and karate days....

Pillocks

I make a living suing the police and even I think you are talking bollocks.
