Think it was before the night match against Fulham in February 1979? 1-1 draw, Tommy Smith scored for us

Who needs Desso?

Tommy Smith? I don’t remember him! Was it an own goal?

Signed him from Bromsgrove Rovers. Played 3 1st team matches for us before moving to Huddersfield

Didn’t know that - Cheers!

Thought it may be something to do with Brian or Paul (The dangerous brothers)!

Not to be confused with the Tommy Smith who played for Udders in recent years. Or the Liverpool legend.

What stand is that in the background? Don't recognise it at all Silent, unless its Fulham! It looks very steep!

South Stand. The tunnel and dugouts were still in John Street at the time

I could have been there. I did a couple of pitch snow clearances for a free ticket and a pie! I would have been 14 and that’s about right.

Anyone wondering what the letters are along the base of the stand?

These were the scoreboard for other matches. Wednesday were alway “A”.

A man would walk up to them with numbered tiles in his hand and display the latest scores as they happened. There was often a loud cheer as he put a 1 (or higher) next to “A” followed by a lower number. It was the equivalent of the current day chant of “Sheffield Wednesday’s f*cked it up again.

Things we did eh? before Mobil phones, Electronic scoreboards and ‘t tinterweb!

If memory serves , there was a red indicator and a yellow indicator, with another set of scores at the front of the Bramall Lane terrace. Complicated stuff!
The chant existed in those days but it was "Jackie Charlton's f*cked it up again".

One of those poor lads could well have been me. I helped with snow clearing on a few occasions.

No safety committee to cancel the games due to a bit of ice on a patch then

As a young lad I used to love getting the programme & seeing which team the letters were & then the cheer when the fella put up that the pigs were losing.

Did it not used to be at the bottom of the away end?

That's where I remember it, on the white railings opposite the cricket pitch when we had a three sided ground.
