blahblahblah 2 Posted April 3, 2009 Ta Walkley - Looks like both teams have injury concerns then - Gray will be missed I''d imagine.[quote]Wednesday boss Brian Laws has been dealt a serious blow ahead of thetrip to East Anglia with veteran midfielder Michael Gray being ruledout for the season through a shoulder injury, the former Englandinternational joins fellow North-easterner Steve Watson on thesidelines, Gray has been told it won''t affect his contract talks in thesummer. Akpo Sodje and Etienne Esajas are likely to travel with the squad afterreturning from injury, Sodje has been out with a slight hamstringstrain which has seen him sidelined for the last two games, Esajasplayed 45 minutes for the reserves following a 3 month sabbatical witha broken toe.[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted April 3, 2009 Having attended a game or two in the Wednesday crowd, both as a neutral with Wednesday away supporters, and as a Norwich supporter at Hillsborough in the home end - that the Wednesday following is especially good. Having been to a game at Villa Park in the away end, where Wednesday were bottom of the Prem with 9 points at Xmas, and the fans were singing from start to finish, even when they went behind. I got the impression that their fans deserved a much better team - Same could be said now for both our clubs, although I''d like to think that the green shoots of recovery are in place for both of us.With that said, I hope Wednesday lose tomorrow too. We need the points more than you do [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCardinal 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Wednesday fans are among the best in the league, IMO. Friendly, chatty, good laugh and good banter!But I do hope we stick them tomorrow. We''ve never been good against Wednesday and it would be a great confidence boost to all concerned if we can get the three points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,383 Posted April 3, 2009 [quote user="walkley_owl"]Probably earlier mate, bout 82/83? Although I wan''t old enough to be there[/quote] I was there and it was 81/82, the year before I came to Uni here in Sheffield. It was also the game where Wednesday''s winner would have been scored by one of their fans who invaded the pitch, if their Centre Forward hadn''t already have knocked it in. Still rankles me to this day as the invader distracted half of our defence! But a brillant day out in the sunshine despite the lively ending when the Wednesdayites tried to "have" us!!!!

The Northern Canaries used to hire the Hillsbrough Arena in the past - excellent idea as it was across the park from the ground. Also worth doing a pub crawl in Kelham Island before hopping on to a Tram to the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,383 Posted April 3, 2009 We try hard to get Hungarian Morris Dancers of Azebajainee Bell Ringers but being landlocked its not easy to attract people from other landlocked cities. These guys are based in PortoNegra on the NE Spanish coast and they love coming to Sheff for lots of real ale, kebabs and blonde women. A bit of cricket and five a side footy and good job all round! I have offered them to me brother in Attleborough but he''s worried that most of the women will up sticks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
