The Steel City

Anybody not saying Wednesday is wrong

This, from a Leicester fan. Loads of good mates from the south side of the city. Boss place, been to the musical festival there as well. Great stuff.
Don't mind Weds either to be fair.

The Leadmill used to be a boss night out all those years ago.

Is it still going ?

Indeed it is. Regarding football, Wednesday is the club which has the larger support within the city.

I like both clubs and it's my favourite derby in English football. I prefer Wednesday though.

 

[stony]

Don't particularly like either of them but one of them is called united and plays in red, so that's a non starter straight away.

Wednesday. Because I quite liked their double cup finalist team in the 90s. So badly wanted them to turn over Arsenal. Bah.

 

[ijjysmith]

Have a soft spot for both.

Saw my first ever Everton game at United. Lost 2-1 in the Rumblelows Cup.

Saw my first ever Everton win at Wednesday. Abel Xavier’s debut no less!

Wednesday for me due to 1966 and a memorable night in 1977 against villa
Plus they play in blue

Has to be said Sheffield is a thoroughly enjoyable night out too.

Remember the Sheffield Wednesday band and that song, der der der der der der der der der der Wednesday?lol I think anyone who remembers the last time Wednesday were in the top flight, would know what im on about.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

I had to go to Sheffield for work last year. I can only hope I never get sent back there again.

I'd probably go for the Owls as my pick. Purely based on that good side they had in the 90s whilst United had Bassett's grocks.

What was wrong with Sheffield mate?I always enjoyed my visits there, and i find the people there to be friendly.But i guess we all have different opinions and experiences of places.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Not a fan of stripes.

However, I go utd on these grounds ....

1. Wednesday were something of a tricky fixture for us in our glory days in the 80s.

2. Utd gave us Jags.

Indeed and wasn't it a Wednesday player Brian Marwood, who put Adrian Heath out for the rest of our glorious 1984/1985 season as well?Of course our very own Howard Kendall was a respected former Blades manager as well.
