  1. So it will be OK to extend Ugbo's contract then?
  2. and that is why i have been mainly watching non league for the last 8 years.
  3. They give tickets away for these eventsso they can claim they are well supported and make it look good on TV for the sponsers. No one will be paying much to go and watch.
  4. Anyone is better than Uggers. I watch a lot of National league and National league North and i doubt he could score in those leagues now.
  5. Amass is an exceptional talent who is Man U player for that reason. Wednesday do not attract those kinds of youngsters and even if they discover one he will be poached by the Prem clubs. I have no problem in normal times playing one or maybe two in a first team which is at least competitive in the league. Wednesday dont have that at the moment and as i said throwing them in the deepend at this time when the club is already relegated and ruining what little future talent it still possesses does nobody any good.
  6. Playing a team mostly made up of young lads who would get bullied, out played and beaten badly week after week will destroy their confidence and proably wreck their carreers. It's ok to play the occasional carefully selected youngster in a competitave team, where he can be shielded by senior pros, but throwing half a dozen into an already demoralised weak team is counter productive to say the least.
  7. I agree. I fully expected to be getting mullered 5 nill ever game so only losing by the odd goal or three is a bonus. Later on in the season when teams are looking to pad their goal differences it might be another story though.
  8. Maybe the one which owns the company which isnt for sale?
  9. Correct and Peds brought in an emergency, emergency keeper to cover for Hovs while he was banned rather than play Stretch. So i would conclude that the lad just isnt ready for the first team yet.
  10. I think since Hovs was an emergency signing sanctioned by EFL to cover for Charles injury and Peds has to play him every every game he is available. Young Strech didn't even get on the pitch when Hovs got sent off so he probably isnt ready yet.
  11. It's pointless scapegoating Peds, even Pep couldnt get anything out of the current squad. The squad is so weak, the team picks it's self, that is except for Uggers who should be sent out on loan to National League or banished to the U18's where he might be slightly more competitive.
  12. I dont think the EFL would sanction playing unregistered amateur players in the first team of a championship club. Risk of injury and devaluing their competion ect. I am also certain most pro players, trainers and managers would not want such an intrusion into their workplace too. So it's a non starter i'm afraid.
  13. Wednesday will still be under embargos so I doubt Man U will want him playing for a team struggling at the bottom of L1 getting battered most weeks.
  14. Great idea, and dont forget to get a faded Presto Tools sprayed onto the away stand roof.
  15. Take an unbrella if you sit on the lower Lep for that match.
  16. I seem to recall i went on a bus from the Noah's Ark. But not much else though. I was sat in one of the stands at the side of the pitch and the North Bank goal was to my left. Didnt they have a player called Robinson? and i remember the only thing i heard their fans chanting was Seagulls, Seagulls over and over again. I cant remeber much else, i'll probably have a programme and maybe a ticket stub in the loft but quite a bit of stuff got misplaced when i moved away from Sheff.
  17. I was on the Kop that day and that exact moment was the begining of the end for Wednesday as a top level team. If it had never happened i believe Wednesday would still be a Premier league club. Unfortunately however it's been all down hill from there ever since.
  18. I he still turned a profit on it
  19. Thats a shame with all that BBC money he's going to have burning a hole in his picket
  20. I love that shirt, execpt for the idiot's name pasted across it.
  21. Move. The name Hillsborough even if it was completely redeveloped will always be associated with the disaster. They should at least have rebuilt the leppings lane for the Euros instead of building that monstrosity on top of the South stand which proceeded to ruin the pitch due to lack of sunlight.there was also an opertuity to build a new stadium on the Don Valley site. Too late now but I still would prefer to move and a clean sheet.
  22. Remember DH was prevented from joining Man U a potentially stratospheric career move by Wednesday. He and his son were and are professional footballers and DH knows they need to make the best of every opportunity. Because of DH's intervention GH has now probably earned more than his father did in his entire career. GH moving like he did was just a good father who knows the game looking out for his son's best interests.
  23. Oh wow that brings back memories. I remember his name was painted a wall in Netherthorpe, it was there for decades after he finished playing. I think it was near the top of Solly St or Beet St maybe?
