What Was This All About?

  • SFBeca changed the title to What Was This All About?

Wednesday were facing relegation to the 4th division (in the late 70's) and the Sheffield Star decided to run a campaign to 'Save Our Owls' The campaign must have worked because Wednesday avoided relegation.

 

A few years later 1980/81 the Blades were in a similar position but the Sheffield Star decided not run a campaign. The Blades were relegated May 2nd 1981 after losing to Walsall.

 

Sheffield City Council and the Star have always favoured those at S6.

 Attendance figures rarely peaked beyond the 15,000 mark during the 1974/1975 season and, a season later, these figures declined further, regularly dipping below 10,000. Despite the best efforts of the Sheffield Star’s ‘Save our Owls’ campaign in January 1975 – which tried to encourage more fans to attend matches – morale and finances were at an all-time low.
