As a Yorkshireman - although expatriated - I have a lot of respect for the city of Sheffield and its football clubs. But speaking frankly, Wednesday especially are the prime example of a club that has failed to modernise, that has failed to develop sportingly and comerically, and that chose to gamble on spending big and not making it to the PL. The chairman is a symptom of the problem, in my opinion, and not the problem per se. There are far worse. And he has put money in. Just in the wrong way, at the wrong time, and bet a lot and lost. Sheffield Wednesday are a big club. But they are stuck in the past. And that's why clubs like Hull City are seen as more viable and stable and frankly as better investments. Hull is a rugby city, and the football club is small, but it's modernised Nd commercialised and has attracted credible and decent ownership. Wednesday need a new plan. As for Sheffield United. They sold their two best players before coming to the PL. They are the authors of their own sporting fate and I think they knew this before the season began.
That's comical that he asks the fans to invest in the club, but of course if he sells the club he won't be sharing one pence of the revenue with such "investors." That's not how investment works.
I am a Korean and I lived in Sheffield between 1992 and 1993. During that time, Sheffield Wednesday went FA Cup final and lost to Arsenal after a re-match. I thought Sheffield Wednesday was one of the top 5 teams in England! So sad to see they are struggling.
It has changed alot. Big teams change, Nottingham Forest won 2 champions leagues, Blackburn used to one of bigger clubs, Everton were once the biggest team in England and now look like they are the new Sunderland, always scraping through relegation fights. Aston Villa were always relatively big until an American bought them and took them out of the PL for the first time and now look at them back among the top. Bolton, Leeds and Charlton were once PL sides and Leeds were a relatively successful one at that. Even my own team had points were they were truly big, early 60's Spurs were the first team to win the double and now they only are considered part of the big six because of consistent positioning and money.
After such a lousy performance in the season, still this remarkable attendance in the stadium ... You guys have understood the passion one can have for a club. Respect!
What a tragedy to see a legendary club like Wednesday suffer the effects of another terrible owner. Shameful. Great video as always. I always enjoy your content and look forward to the next one. Cheers!👍

Holy crap! Chansiri is literally holding Sheffield Wednesday hostage by blackmailing the fans. This isn't just greed, it's a total abuse of power. I can remember back in the early 90s when both Sheffield clubs were in the top flight, Wednesday were actually the better of the two and it's just very sad to see. I hope you can get the club out of this tyrant's greedy little hands, because Wednesday has such a great and lengthy history, from a Liverpool fan.
My grandmother was a Wednesday supporter. She immigrated to Canada in 1952 but I remember asking her who her team was. She was born and raised in Sheffield, as was my Dad. Love it. Maybe one day I'll pay a visit to my roots and take in a Wednesday game.
As an American I’ve long had a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday because they were the first top-flight English club to have a U.S. player (John Harkes), and I love the unusual club name and owl logo.

I love this club since last season even though I'm French. I seen the play-off games last season : instantly loved the crowd, the stadium and this amazing owl logo. Always asked myself since kid what was my favorite English club and I found my answer watching the owls.
Geordie living in Hillsborough. I've been to three games and absolutely love the stadium, the fans, the city. We've been there with an awful owner but Chansiri somehow seems even worse - it's unbelievable. Wednesday fans, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
This was super informative and I really respect the time and effort taken to get an understanding of a club at base level with the fans. Hope it was a fun to make as it was to watch! Keep up the great work
Where have you been all my life..., since I found you about a month ago, i've absolutely loved every video i've watched. Your knowledge and quaint and funny way of presenting it is so refreshing. Thanks for all your work, i'm loving it!

Didn't realise how bad things really at Sheffield Wed - sorry to the fans what they are going through as a football fan myself I hope one day your club finds a way to rebuild and have a better owner in future ⚽️
As an American who has followed English football since the mid-70s, it's a shame to see these clubs fall so far. Sheffield's music scene is always on point though.
The late John Berylson epitomised the perfect chairman. Millwall supporters are not shy voicing their opinion but there isn't anyone who has ever said a bad word about him. As can be American custom he wanted to maintain family involvement after his demise and put his son on the board to take control of both the club and the provisions he put in place to safeguard our future. What a gentleman. If all football clubs had custodians (and foreign investors) like John and the Berylson family British football would be in a much better place. RIP John. Respect. Commiserations to the Sheffield Wednesday fans and all fans with their clubs in a similar positon.
Nieve, you are EVERYTHING that modern football needs!! Your enormous heart and love for the game and people shows through in every video. I wish I could go to England and hound MOTD and other football/sports networks and sing your praises until they hired you. Your channel should be mandatory viewing for every football fan. I adore you to pieces!! Youre absolutely brilliant! ❤❤❤❤❤
You are also a genius in your storytelling and your editing. The moment at 3:22 when you feel the pain of the supporters in your eyes had me 😢, I truly felt that. That fact you have so much caring for people (people have stopped caring and have become mindless zombies here in the states for the most part) and for football is so wonderful, it would take me a long time to express how wonderful it truly is. Thats whats the human process is and we've lost that in sports and it's so wonderful you bring that back in your videos. Your videos restore my faith in humanity. If there were more people like you in this world, we'd be in a so much better place. You're truly amazing, and what you're doing is amazing and you're such an inspiration to young women everywhere that want to be CCs or get involved with football in general. You are truly a magical human!
I'm a Plymouth fan, and we almost lost our club in 2010 due to parasite owners who were only interested in our stadium for the England World Cup host bids. Fortunately we have amazing owners now who are building the clubs infrastructure up and making sure we're running as sustainably as possible. I really feel for Wednesday fans, and the EFL are to blame for letting this happen in the first place.
As a Doncaster Rovers supporter, I gave this a like simply for the last 15 seconds of the video. We've been there (25 years ago), and nearly died. Football clubs are much more than a business.
I’m an owl but been to Donny games as a neutral a few time mainly cause i work near the ground so go with mates who support rovers sometimes its depressing af and sometimes a great buzz great atmosphere
As an avid Argyle supporter, I’ve seen some great games against Wednesday. I really wanted them to do well this year. Great club, Great fans. Go take your club back. 💚🏴
Well done, Nieve. Wednesday are Yorkshire's longest serving top flight club, with the most trophies, yet haven't graced the upper echelon for 25 years. Thr Chairman's comments this week have not been supportive all and I do pray sincerely that he will sell. Danny Roehl and his staff have already made some changes following the ills of Muñoz's tenure. Thank you again and best wishes to you, Nieve, to Bolton Wanderers and all fans. 🙏 X ps next time, please use The Owls' current badge. Ta!! ☺
Let me tell you as a Sunderland AFC fan who watched his team clattered down from Premier to League 1 in 2 years and then basically take ages to escape. Owners being what they are can be a saviour or a nightmare... mostly the second.
as a Cardiff fan in a similar situation the past couple years, owners can really hit the fans and the club where it hurts, Wednesday are a great club and they will be fine give it a couple years, and really hope they stay up this season, as they have done well enough to get here, and I wish them luck for the rest of the season!
I’d never laugh at the strife endured by real fans. Thank for the video, it’s great to share the journey with you for a few minutes, and it offers a little perspective on the depressing run my QPR have been on. Always, top respect to real fans 👍
Sheffield Wed fans were brilliant when they played Swansea, both of us winless at the time they brought 2000 down, and we had a great back and forth. "How sh** must you be? It's only 0-0" 🤣 Loved it!
As an Oldham Ahtletic fan for the last 20 or so years (I'm 27), I'll never laugh at a club in any form of ownership or financial trouble. I've seen it all in the last 20 years, the slow, steady decline of the club I love, and it's heartbreaking. Wouldn't even wish it on Rochdale... probably. Joking aside though, it always sucks to see a team being ran into the ground by bad owners or management. We're out of it it seems now ( 7:50, the protest against the Lemsagams at Boundary Park back in 2022), but I can only hope other clubs manage to find a way out too. For the fans, and for the history of each club.
Really great video. I didnt know what a mess Sheff Weds are in. I still miss them being in the top flight. I think they are a really attractive club as an investment. Someone will realise that soon.
from Malaysia here.. just stumbled upon your videos.. really enjoy it.. what i adore is the fans enthusiasm to support their team... the stadium was full house..even in Malaysia, top 4 first division club also does not have this much crowd.. also you are quite beautiful.. cantik..hahahaha
This kind of owners is the reason why Im so happy to be a supporter of a german club. The 50+1 rule prevents this kind of bs from ever happening. Of course a club can still be mismanaged, go into admission or possibly stop existing after all, but as a supporter you re not at the mercy of a single person and their willingness to run the club. This also means the clubs need to be profitable, if not they are gonna get into trouble real quick, because there is nobody to bail out the club. Therefore its unlikely that the big stars of the game are going to play in germany, maybe at Bayern Munich, because there are no stupid sums of money involved. And Im fine with that. I rather have a healthy club which I know will most likely still be around in a hundred years then depend on a single person.
another point is you talk about sustainability and profitability, however you need to understand no English football fans would want the German sustainability rules because they are desperate to try anything to reach the Premier League. Almost every Sheff Wed fan (and fans of all English clubs) demand that their clubs show ambition and try to buy the best players, the clubs receive massive criticism if other clubs outbid them by offering massive salaries, so English clubs find themselves under pressure to pay big salaries. Some fans of think the best plan for their club is to gamble buying the best players, build up debts of, say £100 million, then go into administration and have your debts cleared. Then gamble again buying the best players, building up debts to £100 million, then go into admin and have the debts cleared again. Keep doing this until you're promoted, however stricter FFP rules were brought in to try and prevent clubs from doing this.
West Brom fan here. I travel all over following my team and am doing the 92 watching some games as a neutral. Sheff W and Sheff U are both up there in terms of their fans and the atmosphere generated. I feel your pain, personally suffering our own current useless owners and no funds but we have a great coaching team led by King Carlos. My ST (on the half-way line) costs £459.00. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
Watched this, I'm hooked!😂 my partner is a United fan, I don't support either team, I'm from down south, so if you local derby action, London is the place to be with so many rivalries between so many teams. As a military veteran, I had the privilege to visit many countries during my career and got to see some incredible games both locally and nationally. Anyways keep up the great work, will be working my way through them.
As an American I have learned to love Football, but I am sad that I don't get to experience the culture, the closest thing we have is probably College Football, I love my Tennessee Vols
4:54 Neive you said if ive never been to Sheff wed game I'd think their absolutely brilliant. Guess what I've never been to a Sheff wed game and I think their absolutely brilliant. 😂👏
My dad's family is from the Hillsborough area, so it's sad to see what's happening to one of the clubs I could have supported... if he hadn't move us down south when I were younger!
If I recall in the late 1990s or 2000, Sheffield Wednesday was in the EPL and United was in the next tier (I forget if it was called the Championship or First Division at that time), and on one occasion I think they were both close to being in the Premiership at the same time. That seems so, so long ago.
As a Bristol Rovers fan we have had our ups and downs but id hate to have an owners like Sheff Wednesday. A club that in respect is a great club and deserve so much more' especially all those Owls supporters
As an Exeter City supporter living in America, I felt your pain years ago. Stay loyal, this too shall pass. I'm sorry that it'll seem like forever, but with that sort of loyalty you'll be golden. I admire that in fans.
Sheffield United have had bigger crowds in recent years, just check the stats. Sheff Utd averaged 28,746 last season in a ground where capacity was reduced by the council to 30K with only 2K away fans. Sheff Wed have only beat that average attendance once in the last 53 years (with 29K average in 1992) and the last time Sheff Wed beat that level of support whilst outside the top flight was in 1952, that's 71 years ago. Averaging 22K to 25K is support to be proud of but it's not exactly huge by today's standards, the loyalty and away support is excellent tho. Altho Wednesday fans have seem much better times, cup finals, playoff wins than the Sheff Utd fans over the decades.
Never going to forget how much I felt sad when Carlos Carvalhal missed the promotion with Wednesday. That game v. Hull…Till this day, it’s the club I like the most aside from Braga, my club and also Carlos (a fan favourite coach of all time here) club. A truly wonderful club that deserves nothing more than the best! Wawaw! 🇵🇹
Ahhh, football is so lucky to have you. Thank you for standing against this shameful behavior and for lending a bit of support to the Wednesday faithful. I may have shown Wednesday one or two of my favourite fingers last year after we (ITFC) pipped them to automatic promotion, but this is some next level bullshit. Well done, N. I don't like leaving serious comments. I'll try to be hilarious again next week. 😉
Nieve's face whilst listening to the piped in chants through the speakers was priceless 😂 Just a shame she wasn’t there for a night match to witness the Elton John, candle in the wind style light show 😂
As a Hull fan I can tell you, our recent takeover has injected new life into the club. All I can hope is that Sheffield Wednesday find someone more than capable of running a club and can inject that same life back into Wednesday as Acun has done for us.
Brilliant video again StuntPegg ! Not discussed are that Sheffield and Rotherham are just down the road and sister clubs in SOUTH YORKSHIRE. I worked there as a Miner, I would like BOTH to come up ! I love South Yorkshire people !
Everton fan here. Sorry to hear about your woes. Sounds like your owner is as bad as our owner Moshiri, but he's on his way out (hopefully). Hope you can turn things around, the Owls have a rich history.
Solid content. I much prefer this to a moaning Goldbridge slagging off folks with different opinions. Having said that, Manure have to be the second most depressing team in the UK, innit?
These are the type of videos I love. As a Wigan Athletic fan I know a thing or three about terrible owners. Just like Wednesday, we've been utterly destroyed twice by terrible owners. These sort of owners need more attention brought on them. Absolute disgrace, honestly.
Greetings from the USA. Different sport, but I’m a fan of the Oakland A’s of MLB. We too have been treated like hot garbage by ownership. Trading all of our top players for B-grade prospects and then having us being blamed for not “properly supporting our club.” I hope that Sheffield Wednesday fans can force a sale to ownership that wants to put a competitive product on the pitch before you end up several levels away from the top flight.
Working in Derby, I can only hope that Wednesday don't beat the glorious record set by the club from this city. It's the only thing Derby's got to be proud of.
It’s like going to the dentist, you know you have to even in the rain, you know you are going to face pain and you know you are going to be ripped off when you can’t afford it.
Reminds me of the feeling around Newcastle under Mike Ashley. He was lucky that we bounced back from the championship twice, but we could have so easily gone down to League 1 and been in this state! Needs to be some sort of agreement that an owner must spend X amount of revenue on players etc. to protect owners like this from ruining football institutions like Sheffield Wednesday. They’re a massive club who should be in the Prem!
A'reyt Nieve. Despite being from Bradford, I have worked in both Rotherham and Sheffield. They are so passionate. I always feel for Wednesday fans. The first match I ever went to was to see Bradford City beat them 3-2 just after Jack Charlton started as their manager. I remember their fans near me were polite to me as a small kid. Sheffield United fans always make fun (to put it politely) of their neighbours. I always imagined someone would buy Sheffield, the other club there, that is the world's oldest and try make it into the city's club, but when you go Sheffield, you realise how intense the support is. Great video again and you seemed to bring Wednesday luck.
I had some memorable trips to Sheffield 80s/90s/00s - Hillsbrough one year in the early 80s is the one that stands out and we got beat. I would like to see both Sheffield clubs do well - a proper football city with fans who have done their share of suffering. Yorkshire and NE Englands big clubs should be in the PL for their support. Bad owners move on eventually but its terrible at the time.
As a Sheffielder myself I very much appreciate you coming to witness our misery first hand

I love this club since last season even though I'm French. I seen the play-off games last season : instantly loved the crowd, the stadium and this amazing owl logo. Always asked myself since kid what was my favorite English club and I found my answer watching the owls.
Oui, All Wednesday Aren't We
Loved the bit about waving and saying goodbye and “favourite fingers”. Hilarious 😂😂😂
Geordie living in Hillsborough. I've been to three games and absolutely love the stadium, the fans, the city. We've been there with an awful owner but Chansiri somehow seems even worse - it's unbelievable. Wednesday fans, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
That light is probably a train coming the other way!
@@bladesman1963Damn
This was super informative and I really respect the time and effort taken to get an understanding of a club at base level with the fans. Hope it was a fun to make as it was to watch! Keep up the great work
Where have you been all my life..., since I found you about a month ago, i've absolutely loved every video i've watched. Your knowledge and quaint and funny way of presenting it is so refreshing. Thanks for all your work, i'm loving it!
Liked the way you put your video together
Im a lifelong Sunderland fan , but i was as pleased as any Owls fan at your first win , we have all been there at some point , wish you and the club well , hope you manage to overcome the obstacles in your path !
Didn't realise how bad things really at Sheffield Wed - sorry to the fans what they are going through as a football fan myself I hope one day your club finds a way to rebuild and have a better owner in future ⚽️
As an American who has followed English football since the mid-70s, it's a shame to see these clubs fall so far. Sheffield's music scene is always on point though.
To be fair, they are both in a higher division than they were last season.
Maybe The Human League can release a fundraising single.
@@timphillips-gv2du might do a bit more sales with Arctic Monkeys.
As a Coventry City fan it hurts to see Sheffield Wednesday go through this. We had years and years of pain and the EFL did absolutely nothing.
Just to say a BIG THANK YOU for the videos you do alot goes into one of these
The late John Berylson epitomised the perfect chairman. Millwall supporters are not shy voicing their opinion but there isn't anyone who has ever said a bad word about him. As can be American custom he wanted to maintain family involvement after his demise and put his son on the board to take control of both the club and the provisions he put in place to safeguard our future. What a gentleman. If all football clubs had custodians (and foreign investors) like John and the Berylson family British football would be in a much better place. RIP John. Respect.
Commiserations to the Sheffield Wednesday fans and all fans with their clubs in a similar positon.
Nieve, you are EVERYTHING that modern football needs!! Your enormous heart and love for the game and people shows through in every video.
I wish I could go to England and hound MOTD and other football/sports networks and sing your praises until they hired you. Your channel should be mandatory viewing for every football fan.
I adore you to pieces!! Youre absolutely brilliant! ❤❤❤❤❤
You are also a genius in your storytelling and your editing. The moment at 3:22 when you feel the pain of the supporters in your eyes had me 😢, I truly felt that.
That fact you have so much caring for people (people have stopped caring and have become mindless zombies here in the states for the most part) and for football is so wonderful, it would take me a long time to express how wonderful it truly is. Thats whats the human process is and we've lost that in sports and it's so wonderful you bring that back in your videos. Your videos restore my faith in humanity. If there were more people like you in this world, we'd be in a so much better place.
You're truly amazing, and what you're doing is amazing and you're such an inspiration to young women everywhere that want to be CCs or get involved with football in general.
You are truly a magical human!
I have just found this channel. I love it. It reminds me of my jumpers for goalposts working class youth .
I don’t know much about soccer but you can tell this woman genuinely loves it. That’s fun to watch. Learning lots.
I'm a Plymouth fan, and we almost lost our club in 2010 due to parasite owners who were only interested in our stadium for the England World Cup host bids. Fortunately we have amazing owners now who are building the clubs infrastructure up and making sure we're running as sustainably as possible. I really feel for Wednesday fans, and the EFL are to blame for letting this happen in the first place.
Saw you on the plane today. Have a lovely holiday and keep up the fantastic content!
Great video! May have to go to a few more Shef Wed games as it looks like you could be their lucky charm!
As a Doncaster Rovers supporter, I gave this a like simply for the last 15 seconds of the video. We've been there (25 years ago), and nearly died. Football clubs are much more than a business.
I’m an owl but been to Donny games as a neutral a few time mainly cause i work near the ground so go with mates who support rovers sometimes its depressing af and sometimes a great buzz great atmosphere
As an avid Argyle supporter, I’ve seen some great games against Wednesday.
I really wanted them to do well this year. Great club, Great fans.
Go take your club back.
💚🏴
Well done, Nieve. Wednesday are Yorkshire's longest serving top flight club, with the most trophies, yet haven't graced the upper echelon for 25 years. Thr Chairman's comments this week have not been supportive all and I do pray sincerely that he will sell. Danny Roehl and his staff have already made some changes following the ills of Muñoz's tenure. Thank you again and best wishes to you, Nieve, to Bolton Wanderers and all fans. 🙏 X ps next time, please use The Owls' current badge. Ta!! ☺
Let me tell you as a Sunderland AFC fan who watched his team clattered down from Premier to League 1 in 2 years and then basically take ages to escape. Owners being what they are can be a saviour or a nightmare... mostly the second.
as a Cardiff fan in a similar situation the past couple years, owners can really hit the fans and the club where it hurts, Wednesday are a great club and they will be fine give it a couple years, and really hope they stay up this season, as they have done well enough to get here, and I wish them luck for the rest of the season!
I’d never laugh at the strife endured by real fans. Thank for the video, it’s great to share the journey with you for a few minutes, and it offers a little perspective on the depressing run my QPR have been on. Always, top respect to real fans 👍
Sheffield Wed fans were brilliant when they played Swansea, both of us winless at the time they brought 2000 down, and we had a great back and forth. "How sh** must you be? It's only 0-0" 🤣 Loved it!
The fans deserve so much better. They were amazing when we played them at the 2016 play off final. They still lost though…
So they're amazing, win or lose? Hull tho..;)
@@adriandenton6637guilty!
Entertaining as always, I look forward to your updates
Incredible video. Great writing , performance, and audio quality
As an Oldham Ahtletic fan for the last 20 or so years (I'm 27), I'll never laugh at a club in any form of ownership or financial trouble. I've seen it all in the last 20 years, the slow, steady decline of the club I love, and it's heartbreaking. Wouldn't even wish it on Rochdale... probably.
Joking aside though, it always sucks to see a team being ran into the ground by bad owners or management. We're out of it it seems now ( 7:50, the protest against the Lemsagams at Boundary Park back in 2022), but I can only hope other clubs manage to find a way out too. For the fans, and for the history of each club.
Really great video. I didnt know what a mess Sheff Weds are in. I still miss them being in the top flight. I think they are a really attractive club as an investment. Someone will realise that soon.
Just found your UA-cam Channel - absolutely love your videos! Thank you very much...
from Malaysia here.. just stumbled upon your videos.. really enjoy it.. what i adore is the fans enthusiasm to support their team... the stadium was full house..even in Malaysia, top 4 first division club also does not have this much crowd.. also you are quite beautiful.. cantik..hahahaha
This kind of owners is the reason why Im so happy to be a supporter of a german club. The 50+1 rule prevents this kind of bs from ever happening. Of course a club can still be mismanaged, go into admission or possibly stop existing after all, but as a supporter you re not at the mercy of a single person and their willingness to run the club. This also means the clubs need to be profitable, if not they are gonna get into trouble real quick, because there is nobody to bail out the club. Therefore its unlikely that the big stars of the game are going to play in germany, maybe at Bayern Munich, because there are no stupid sums of money involved. And Im fine with that. I rather have a healthy club which I know will most likely still be around in a hundred years then depend on a single person.
another point is you talk about sustainability and profitability, however you need to understand no English football fans would want the German sustainability rules because they are desperate to try anything to reach the Premier League. Almost every Sheff Wed fan (and fans of all English clubs) demand that their clubs show ambition and try to buy the best players, the clubs receive massive criticism if other clubs outbid them by offering massive salaries, so English clubs find themselves under pressure to pay big salaries. Some fans of think the best plan for their club is to gamble buying the best players, build up debts of, say £100 million, then go into administration and have your debts cleared. Then gamble again buying the best players, building up debts to £100 million, then go into admin and have the debts cleared again. Keep doing this until you're promoted, however stricter FFP rules were brought in to try and prevent clubs from doing this.
As a Reading fan I have to respectfully disagree that this is currently the most depressing football club in England
West Brom fan here. I travel all over following my team and am doing the 92 watching some games as a neutral. Sheff W and Sheff U are both up there in terms of their fans and the atmosphere generated. I feel your pain, personally suffering our own current useless owners and no funds but we have a great coaching team led by King Carlos. My ST (on the half-way line) costs £459.00. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
Watched this, I'm hooked!😂 my partner is a United fan, I don't support either team, I'm from down south, so if you local derby action, London is the place to be with so many rivalries between so many teams. As a military veteran, I had the privilege to visit many countries during my career and got to see some incredible games both locally and nationally. Anyways keep up the great work, will be working my way through them.
As an American I have learned to love Football, but I am sad that I don't get to experience the culture, the closest thing we have is probably College Football, I love my Tennessee Vols
4:54 Neive you said if ive never been to Sheff wed game I'd think their absolutely brilliant. Guess what I've never been to a Sheff wed game and I think their absolutely brilliant. 😂👏
🤣🤣🤣
My dad's family is from the Hillsborough area, so it's sad to see what's happening to one of the clubs I could have supported... if he hadn't move us down south when I were younger!
If I recall in the late 1990s or 2000, Sheffield Wednesday was in the EPL and United was in the next tier (I forget if it was called the Championship or First Division at that time), and on one occasion I think they were both close to being in the Premiership at the same time. That seems so, so long ago.
Ugh, I really feel for those fans. Admire them sticking with their club through thick and thin, though. Here's hoping they get rid of Chansiri soon.
As a Bristol Rovers fan we have had our ups and downs but id hate to have an owners like Sheff Wednesday.
A club that in respect is a great club and deserve so much more' especially all those Owls supporters
As an Exeter City supporter living in America, I felt your pain years ago. Stay loyal, this too shall pass. I'm sorry that it'll seem like forever, but with that sort of loyalty you'll be golden. I admire that in fans.
They still are a massive club, huge gates and crowds
Sheffield United have had bigger crowds in recent years, just check the stats. Sheff Utd averaged 28,746 last season in a ground where capacity was reduced by the council to 30K with only 2K away fans. Sheff Wed have only beat that average attendance once in the last 53 years (with 29K average in 1992) and the last time Sheff Wed beat that level of support whilst outside the top flight was in 1952, that's 71 years ago. Averaging 22K to 25K is support to be proud of but it's not exactly huge by today's standards, the loyalty and away support is excellent tho. Altho Wednesday fans have seem much better times, cup finals, playoff wins than the Sheff Utd fans over the decades.
Never going to forget how much I felt sad when Carlos Carvalhal missed the promotion with Wednesday. That game v. Hull…Till this day, it’s the club I like the most aside from Braga, my club and also Carlos (a fan favourite coach of all time here) club. A truly wonderful club that deserves nothing more than the best!
Wawaw! 🇵🇹
I love your videos! My new favorite football channel. Thank you!
Sheffield really is struggling this year 💀💀
Which one? 😂😂🤣
@@JasmineUtdBoth clubs I presume...not sure how Sheffield FC, Stacksbridge PS and Hallam FC are doing.
@@bladesman1963Sheffield FC has 0 wins in 7 matches this season 💀
Ahhh, football is so lucky to have you. Thank you for standing against this shameful behavior and for lending a bit of support to the Wednesday faithful. I may have shown Wednesday one or two of my favourite fingers last year after we (ITFC) pipped them to automatic promotion, but this is some next level bullshit. Well done, N. I don't like leaving serious comments. I'll try to be hilarious again next week. 😉
You're so pretty and your videos are really informative keep churning them out 😊!
Love these videos, your reaction in the stadium cracked me up
Nieve's face whilst listening to the piped in chants through the speakers was priceless 😂 Just a shame she wasn’t there for a night match to witness the Elton John, candle in the wind style light show 😂
As a Pompey fan, I know what it's like to put up with terrible owners. I hope that Wednesday come back stronger.
Wow! A new channel for me. With my football addiction, it's pretty strange that I only saw him now. I really like your videos, I wish you success!
The fans are there still. I respect that so much. maybe one day Sheffield Wednesday vs CF Montréal!!
New stuntpegg, let’s go!
As a Hull fan I can tell you, our recent takeover has injected new life into the club. All I can hope is that Sheffield Wednesday find someone more than capable of running a club and can inject that same life back into Wednesday as Acun has done for us.
Acun* even?
sorry?@@Gastradamus
Iam mexican living in Sheffield, your video is really helpfull to understand football culture in the uk.... many thanks
Brilliant video again StuntPegg ! Not discussed are that Sheffield and Rotherham are just down the road and sister clubs in SOUTH YORKSHIRE.
I worked there as a Miner, I would like BOTH to come up ! I love South Yorkshire people !
It depends. Sheffield United and Rotherham get on and are friends. Rotherham and Wednesday don't really get on.
@@Martin-88 I didn't really understand Marra. Just love South Yorkshire !
@@Martin-88we dont get on with most south yorkshire clubs to be honest, 😂
Everton fan here. Sorry to hear about your woes. Sounds like your owner is as bad as our owner Moshiri, but he's on his way out (hopefully). Hope you can turn things around, the Owls have a rich history.
Solid content. I much prefer this to a moaning Goldbridge slagging off folks with different opinions. Having said that, Manure have to be the second most depressing team in the UK, innit?
Loved the video! Wishing you lucky from Brazil.
These are the type of videos I love. As a Wigan Athletic fan I know a thing or three about terrible owners. Just like Wednesday, we've been utterly destroyed twice by terrible owners. These sort of owners need more attention brought on them. Absolute disgrace, honestly.
Thank you for bringing attention to the rot at the core of club ownership.
Greetings from the USA. Different sport, but I’m a fan of the Oakland A’s of MLB. We too have been treated like hot garbage by ownership. Trading all of our top players for B-grade prospects and then having us being blamed for not “properly supporting our club.”
I hope that Sheffield Wednesday fans can force a sale to ownership that wants to put a competitive product on the pitch before you end up several levels away from the top flight.
Another A’s fan. Incredible!
F*ck Fisher and F*ck Kaval
Switched my notifications because I have not seen your videos suggested. Love your stuff. Thanks!
Thank you!
They do say down at Queen's Park Rangers that things are bad there but at least they're not Sheffield Wednesday.
Working in Derby, I can only hope that Wednesday don't beat the glorious record set by the club from this city.
It's the only thing Derby's got to be proud of.
What a privilege it must have been for you to see Cafu in real life... 😉🇧🇷
I remember when I was a kid and both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United were both in the premiership 30+ years ago
It’s like going to the dentist, you know you have to even in the rain, you know you are going to face pain and you know you are going to be ripped off when you can’t afford it.
'You wait for the Bus & two come along at once'
look further down the pyramis and Sheffield FC (The World's First Football Club) are bottom of their league but have managed to win a game.
Reminds me of the feeling around Newcastle under Mike Ashley. He was lucky that we bounced back from the championship twice, but we could have so easily gone down to League 1 and been in this state!
Needs to be some sort of agreement that an owner must spend X amount of revenue on players etc. to protect owners like this from ruining football institutions like Sheffield Wednesday. They’re a massive club who should be in the Prem!
Great video thanks and love the passive aggressive remark quality
Thank you, Stephen!
A'reyt Nieve. Despite being from Bradford, I have worked in both Rotherham and Sheffield. They are so passionate. I always feel for Wednesday fans. The first match I ever went to was to see Bradford City beat them 3-2 just after Jack Charlton started as their manager. I remember their fans near me were polite to me as a small kid.
Sheffield United fans always make fun (to put it politely) of their neighbours.
I always imagined someone would buy Sheffield, the other club there, that is the world's oldest and try make it into the city's club, but when you go Sheffield, you realise how intense the support is.
Great video again and you seemed to bring Wednesday luck.
As Wednesday fan l was also at the Bradford Wednesday match 1977 , Jack Charlton saved them massively at that time
@@TOPSPANKER57 I can still imagine the nearby Wednesday fan saying "Blinding ref can't see. He must be blind. Blinding ref."
smashing club sheffield wednesday been thre a few times all the very best for the rest of the season steve whufc
I follow your channel from Italy and in my opinion your contents are of top quality.
Congratulations!
I had some memorable trips to Sheffield 80s/90s/00s - Hillsbrough one year in the early 80s is the one that stands out and we got beat. I would like to see both Sheffield clubs do well - a proper football city with fans who have done their share of suffering. Yorkshire and NE Englands big clubs should be in the PL for their support. Bad owners move on eventually but its terrible at the time.
I have a real soft spot for wednesday so i hope they will be fine. I watch them everytime thei are on the telly.
They'll won't be fine...
as a united fan, i can confirm i am depressed
