You missed the best views of the ground; every stand can be framed beautifully by getting the hills around it in the background. Even the 40 year old PRESTO STAND looks good with Wharncliffe around it.
Thanks for the heads up. If I come back in future, I'll make sure to get those in shot!
Im a Leeds fan and always love going to Hillsborough. It was always a semi final venue pretty much every year. so im surprised you didnt know its capacity? and it was a lot more before all seater stadiums were made law. Think you need to do a bit more research when you go to other grounds, dont just rely on your mate
I knew it was large, but how many people know a stadium’s exact capacity?
How many do you reckon you could have got in there standing before the law change?
Appreciate the feedback, but that’s not how I do these videos. I rely on finding out what I can on the day, using the resources available (except the initial google 😂). It makes it more enjoyable for me.
Thanks for the video. The picture around 06:40 is of club legends across the years eg Derek Dooley, Roland Nilsspn, David Hirst. In Danny Roehl, Wednesday have an opportunity to make progress despite a difficult decade under the current ownership, although credit to the club for bringing Herr Röhl in. As Mark the Pitsmoor Owl states, on trophies won and top flight seasons, Wednesday eclipse many clubs and all others within Yorkshire. Sadly, a lack of investment in the stadium sees a restricted capacity of under 35k at present. You're welcome any time to sample a matchday. Best wishes! 🦉 🇬🇧
As for the Kop, look at the video footage of the Wednesday one before the roof and also check the link to Boer War. There's also a Nottinghamshire village called Spion Kop.
You’re welcome Stuart & thanks for the kind words!
@Laudits My pleasure! When we select the correct kit 😊, SWFC are unique in wearing black shorts with our famous blue and white stripes. When we don't 😔, we look like Brighton (currently wish we were as good!!),Colchester, Huddersfield, Halifax etc.
@@stuartburgess2626 You’ll be back to your former glory my friend! 🦉
@Laudits I hope so. We're not Man U or Arsenal, but historically, we're well within the top 20 teams in England.
I'd never actually thought that we haven't got statues or the like. Generally we like to show off the past and our achievements, and the space by the bridge over the Don would be an ideal location for a few memorials to Spiksley, Dooley, Fantham, Wilko et al
This was my thought. Great history with some outstanding people. Should put a petition in 😎
@@Laudits You are not familiar with Dejphon Chansiri, are you?
@@BenBebbington Your owner? Yes. Or 'custodian' as some would refer to him as 😅
@@Laudits If I were to be generous, I'd say he's not a man to take a petition lightly.
@@BenBebbington In what way - for or against a statue?
Wednesdays kop was the biggest terracing in europe not too many years ago,far bigger than Liverpool. Hillsborough is one of the most iconic historic stadiums in football. World cups,euro cups,fa cup semi's,league cups have all been played there. Wednesday were one of the best clubs in the country 20 years ago and through history but since relegation have fallen fron grace a little. One of the oldest professional clubs in history 156 years old. Wednesday use to play at Bramhall lane well before sheff united were ever formed. Wednesday were called the blades and united stole the name when Wednesday changed to the owls. Hope that helps and apologies for the ignorant woman on the desk who obviously knew nothing about the club.
Thank you - I’m looking forward to meeting someone like you, who’s a true fan & can go into this sort of detail! Wonder which club will produce that? ⚽️👀
Best in the country 20 years ago? They were league 1 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am a Liverpool fc fan .. but always look out for Wednesday results gonna pop to Hillsborough this season with my son ...
@@rossheaton9620 Hope you & your boy get a cracking match 😁⚽️
Wednesdays was not the biggest Kop, but it was the biggest single tiered Kop and the biggest uncovered Kop till the roof went on in 86.
Yes been looking forward to this one
Hopefully it lives up to the anticipation 🥲⚽️
Yeah there was a reason it was used to host semi final fixtures....of which Liverpool vs Notts Forest was. It's massive.
Didn’t realise how big it was until I visited. Monster!
@@Laudits I once went to a saints vs Wednesday game there (yep, got the Take That reference) and Leppings lane definitely felt very eery. My mum came from Liverpool and I think a few of her cousins were there for the game; was definitely criminal.
Wednesday were reknowned in the 40s to 70s for investing in the ground instead of the players, and part of the problems in 89 were that after relegation to the third tier we couldn't actually afford to keep the ground in good repair, and the secretary failed to inform the FA that it hadn't had the relevant safety certificates in years to host big games.
At the start of the video you were at the memorial for Wednesday fans that passed away, you needed to walk left of the bridge for the disaster memorial.
Oh no - thanks for that. We wondered where it was!
@@Laudits No worries!
A note on the memorial; it didn't go up till Dave Allen left as he refused to have a permanent acknowledgement of the event at the ground. Local business owners put up a memorial at the corner of Parkside Road and Middlewood Road, and the council dedicated the replanting of the walled garden in the park next to the ground to it and put up You'll Never Walk Alone gates that are still there today
Biggest club in Sheffield even though the last 24 years have been the worst in our history they are still Yorkshires most successful football club
I must say they have the best & the most loyalty fans in England
& what a brilliant old school ground 36 fa fa cup semi finals World Cup finals in 1966
Euros in 96 with the record attendance at Hillsborough almost 73k fans saw Sheffield Wednesday v Man City in 1934/35 season
Massive football club with great potential
Even Simon Jodan said on talk sport if he was going to Buy another football club in England it would be Sheffield Wednesday only a few weeks ago
Agreed - lots of amazing history. Hope you return to your glory days at some point!
@@Laudits we’ve got a great manger now not sure about the owner but the Best asset the club has is the unbelievable Fanbase they took 48k fans to Wembley stadium for a league one playoff final
Which they Won they only got relegated because of the chairman over spending so he got us points deduction but that’s the past the majority of our history have been played in Englands top tier
I think maybe in the next 1-3 years we could get back to were we should be in the Premier League
I’m not being funny but SUFC is just a Rip off of SWFC as Wednesday are 22 years older they was called the Blades first they also played at Bramhall lane but left & changed their nickname to the OWLS
This was 22 years before SUFC was Invented
Now if that’s not a rip off of SWFC then I don’t know what is
Google it that’s the history & SWFC are still Yorkshires most successful football club
Fact
Yes the good times are coming back to Hillsborough within next 3 years Max my friend 👍💙
@@Laudits Cheers Mate 💙👍
Leeds Utd hold my beer..!
Oh shidddddd it’s kicking off 😂⚽️
Apologies accepted
😂
yeah mate you did your best to try to bring down a great club, out trophy cabinet is bigger than the blades, you missed all the great players of the past, in picture form, so dont come again, your as welcome as staton and giddings from radio sheffield, we dont like then either.
Hold on - rewind a bit. How did I ‘try my best to bring down a great club’?
Gioer Errol
Horrible club

Yorkshire most successful football club and don’t forget it
