When did we play Doncaster on Boxing day and lost 0-3?

 

If it was before 1987 then that was my 1st trip to yorkshire.

 

It was 27/12/86 so that counts.

 

All ticket sell out that day in our end

Ahh .... let me see. Must have been FA Cup 4th round at Bootham Crescent in 1958.

Went to Burnden to get myself a ticket. Folks said I was too young to go on my own. Ended up dad taking me to Trinity Street station on the Saturday morning and finding his cousin to take me for the day on one of the special trains. He must have been dead chuffed - I got in the way of him drinking with his mates.

Dull 0-0, missed the Wednesday afternoon replay coz of school, but we were on the way to a win at Wembley !

Emley at Leeds Road, I think. In fact I think I have only been to three games in Yorkshire and one was this last season. Don't know how but having seen us play on almost 50 grounds I have only managed 3 in Yorkshire.

 

 

now that was a tip top day out

 

in fact, it might have been my last away day in a tranny van =D>

According to Glenda and Jack,Owlerton was the name of the ground that is now known as Hillsborough from 1899-1912.

 

Sheffield Wednesdays only previous name was The Wednesday.This name change took place in 1929.

Quote "sheffield fc 1874"

 

Weren't they called Owlerton in 1874 ?....Where's george when you need him

 

I think Casino is ungallantly implying that EG is so old that her initial visit to watch football in Yorkshire was to see Sheffield FC play (the oldest football club in the world) which was founded in 1857.
