    Brings back memories of 79/80 and a 3-0 defeat. Leaving the game early as the cries of "Wednesday" echoed around the ground.

    "Could programme seller Hall please come to the main office please?" - The regular announcements throughout the game.

    That's right! I think they broke down the gates behind the Spion Kop and they walked into the Brewery Stand. They had at least half of our 2,300 seats that day too. I can well recall a few hundred Barnsley fans chasing some Wednesday supporters back into the ground from Belgrave Road. And there was a fair old kerfuffle beneath the flyover.

    Lovely sunshine it was that day too! revenge was ours at Hillsborough later that year though - 2-0 and televised for 'The Big Match'(?). I think Derek Dougan hosted the programme? I can well recall him pronouncing Ronnie Glavin as 'Ronald Galvin' at one stage, although i think that was the following season.

    Gate that day was a 'disapointing' 22360. Lots of people were expecting nearer 30,000. Often wondered what happened to programme seller Hall. Terry Curran murdered us that day but revenge was sweet in the return 3 months later when Banks marked Curran out of the game.

    Anything to add or are we supposed to assume you're thinking something witty?

    Well.......

    In my honest opinion, Wednesday have always brought a much larger, and louder, following to Oakwell.

    RE: Well.......

    Certainly more than the 700 or so Blunts that 'descended' on Oakwell during Adrian Heath's tenure.
