Longcol Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Remember Wednesday winning a replay 1 - 3 at Leeds Jan 69 / Most elecric atmosphere I've ever known - more than half the crowd were Wednesdayites. Peter Eustace was absolutely class on the night, from nutmegging Bremner early doors to launching a free kick way over the Scratching Shed in the last minute to run down time, Albert Johannsen had put Leeds in front against the run of play in the first half. Brian Woodhall got two for the Owls at the start of the second half on one of his rare first team appearances, and John Ritchie "hit" the third near the end - a miss hit from the edge of the box that Gary Sprake somehow misread - pretty much like Ritchies equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Hillsborough on the Saturday. One of the most memorable wins in my time supporting Wednesday and doubt if you'd get an atmosphere like that on a Saturdat afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staninoodle Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Scrap two legged ties for the european games instead. Its getting boring now, a handful of clubs dictating how our domestic competitions should run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup ties and atmosphere's, you couldn't beat it.. I've stood along 40 thousand+ fans at Bramall Lane, wearing my red and white scarf and hat... Huge rosette on my lapel, and twirling my rattle around.. When united scored a goal the whole ground would erupt into a chorus of "On Ilkley moor Bart'hat" It made your spine tingle. E By Gum, Them were the days.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Loads more clubs coming out condemning the decision today , which is unprecedented . Be good if the Sheffield clubs came out and did the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they used to run out to Ilkley Moor at the lane at one time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERVY-OWL Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's a disgrace. I hope all clubs band together, maybe boycott the fa cup but then the top clubs would probably be happy about it so I don't know if that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if half a dozen clubs got together and said they were gonna boycott, the PR for the premier league would be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I always thought that ALL football clubs, regardless of any being in the Premiership were affiliate members of the FA with voting rights? Surely, something that will affect a large proportion of the affiliate, can't just be waived through at the whim of the FA hierarchy without it being put to members & a possible vote?
