    Shout out to the passionate and friendly Sheffield Wednesday fans I met during my Matchday at Hillsborough. Proper Yorkshire Hospitality! Don't forget to Subscribe and Like if you Enjoyed the video and to ensure you join me on my next Wander!
    I put it in the description but anyone who may not have seen it my ticket cost me £37 (€42.50) on the night. Fair value if not a bit steep for regular match going fans I feel. Well worth it for me to get inside one of Footballs most iconic stadiums though!!

      Nice review mate, the stadium might be a little dated but it still looks great and can generate an atmosphere like few others when full. The pay on the day prices are way too expensive thanks to Mr Chansiri. Hopefully on the pitch there will be better times ahead under Danny Rolh.

      Thanks a mill John, I can definitely see how regular match-going fans would find the prices too expensive, which is a shame. As you said, if the results on the pitch improve, ye have the fanbase and strength in the squad overall to use that momentum and reach safety this year. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching man. Wishing ye the best for the remainder of the season ⚽️

    Hillsborough is a lovely traditional stadium however it is showing its age, with certain parts of the ground in desperate need of upgrading. The entire stadium could do with a fresh coat of paint. 🦉⚽️

    Really enjoyed the video. Like you i love the anthem. Its amazing when the grounds full.
    Shame it is 'infamous' now. Back in 1989, Hillsborough was considered one of the safer grounds, hence the many semi-finals.
    Unfortunately, the Hillsborough disaster was the epitome of the Swiss cheese theory of disaster.
    Very sad.
