I put it in the description but anyone who may not have seen it my ticket cost me £37 (€42.50) on the night. Fair value if not a bit steep for regular match going fans I feel.

Nice review mate, the stadium might be a little dated but it still looks great and can generate an atmosphere like few others when full. The pay on the day prices are way too expensive thanks to Mr Chansiri. Hopefully on the pitch there will be better times ahead under Danny Rolh.
Thanks a mill John, I can definitely see how regular match-going fans would find the prices too expensive, which is a shame. As you said, if the results on the pitch improve, ye have the fanbase and strength in the squad overall to use that momentum and reach safety this year. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching man. Wishing ye the best for the remainder of the season ⚽️
I've been a Wednesday fan sice 1964. Seen the good and the bad but Owls forever! ... Cheers from Las Vegas, Nevada... P.S. Great vid looking forward to more.
Really enjoyed the video. Like you i love the anthem. Its amazing when the grounds full. Shame it is 'infamous' now. Back in 1989, Hillsborough was considered one of the safer grounds, hence the many semi-finals. Unfortunately, the Hillsborough disaster was the epitome of the Swiss cheese theory of disaster. Very sad.
Great video ! Superbly filmed and presented. Hillsborough is a lovely traditional stadium however it is showing its age, with certain parts of the ground in desperate need of upgrading. The entire stadium could do with a fresh coat of paint. 🦉⚽️
Thanks for the kind comment mate. Glad you enjoyed watching. Yeah, I agree it would be great to see a bit more investment go into the ground to improve the matchday experience even more.
Now danny rohl is in charge hopefully we might have a chance of getting some decent results given his history of clubs he's been assistant manager of. Loved the review mate and glad you enjoyed your time at the stadium!
Ah that's brill! Your like me so, you like to stay until the very end! 🙂 I'd say you have had some v good nights at the Kop end💪. Onwards and upwards now hopefully
Hillsborough got a bad reputation through inadequate police supervision, and the over anxiety of fans to get in the ground (including some without tickets)
Fully agree with the first part 👍 The over anxious fans and trying to get in without a ticket, this is common place for a lot of big football matches every year at stadiums worldwide yet nothing like this tradgedy occurred anywhere before or since. Thanks for watching.
You do love your beer, Paul. Here we drink beer when it's hot and wine when it's cooler. The beer I drank more than any other was Everest Beer and that was in Kathmandu. To be honest Paul, most beers of a type, taste the same to me. Great video again, Paul. Best, from Anthony
That Everest beer sounds interesting. Definitely will be trying that if I get to visit there. Yeah, I like to enjoy the matchdays like a local fan 😉🍻 glad you enjoyed a match video as well. They are a little different than my other content.
No problem at all mate. Work away. And thanks for reaching out. The credit and video link from a large channel like yours will be great to help my small but growing channel reach new audiences 👍 looking forward to seeing the vid, you got 1 new subscriber from me 👍⚽️
@@stuartburgess2626He has a good track record and even without the result, seems the performance was much improved in his first game in charge so I have a good feeling as well for the future. I will start saving now again for the next visit 😉. 💪
The kop standing used to hold 22k making it at the time the largest kop in Europe. You missed the marker at south stand of the flood height - unbelievable. Great vid .
great video mate, glad u enjoyed ur trip to hillsborough, great research and facts however the corner stand hasn’t had any capacity since the promotion match in 2012. the prices are ridiculous especially for the football we had to endure under xisco but with danny at the helm hopefully it’s a lot better and i’m sure we will stay up🦉
Ah..thanks for sharing the info on the corner stand, I didn't see anything in my research on that point so appreciate that. Definitely positive changes made so really hope ye stay up and build something special from here. Thanks for the kind comment.
@@gottawander it was something else. I personally think it was only just beaten by Peterborough comeback because of 1st leg score & it was a night match
Absolutely, you definitely won't be stuck for a drink in this stadium. Jeez, hard to believe they ran out of beer by half time!! Hopefully they have fixed that now because having a few beers and enjoying the game is one of life's small pleasures ⚽️🍻
Infamous for the awful tradgedy and yes, famous for being a historic and beautiful stadium along with having a great fanbase and being one of the oldest clubs in football. Anyone who watches the video will see the latter message rather than a word in the title, which was my intention 👍
Great video, glad you had a good time at Hillsborough, regardless of the not so great match or atmosphere. Been a tough season so far, but like you said, positive signs now we have Danny Rohl in charge. Onwards and upwards! WAWAW!
Thanks mate, absolutely, hope ye guarantee safety this year and then build from there to be a strong contender in the Championship again 💪 your fans deserve it for the continued support through the hard years
Looked legit early on anyway👍 Not sure if the same could be said when they got busy later on in the evening though! 😄Cheers for watching another matchday John.
Wednesday played at Bramall Farm before you existed, you're our stadium reject, the nickname Blades we ditched too. Nothing original about you, unless you called yourselves the fork and spoons and turned out in polka dot blouses and pig brooch. That'd make you original.@@grahamhobson4091
Updated the title 👍 Hopefully you watched the video in full as I wanted to give the infamous title, then the actual video itself shows how its not the case at all and how historic and beautiful the place is, hence changing some people's opinions about the place but I also take on board feedback from fans like yourself too.

Great video mate.. shared it to my American friend
@@Bee.V.1 Appreciate that, thanks for watching and reaching out.
Quintessential Old School, proper Stadium with great Supporters! 80's rewind but great experience.
I've been a Wednesday fan sice 1964. Seen the good and the bad but Owls forever! ... Cheers from Las Vegas, Nevada... P.S. Great vid looking forward to more.
Cheers mate, delighted you enjoyed. Always appreciate it when long time fans like yourself take the time to comment ⚽️🙏
You would remember the 66 FA Cup final, Sheff Wed at their finest, squandering a 2 goal lead or any lead for that matter.
@@Anthony-Elliottyou’re a punk.
Really enjoyed the video. Like you i love the anthem. Its amazing when the grounds full.

Thanks Parf, great comment.
Fencing went up as a result of Liverpool’s antics in Europe. If they had behaved better in European matches the disaster might never had occurred
@@DavidToulson-p7f Fencing had been going up because of the actions of fans nationwide, not just because of Liverpool in Europe.
Great video ! Superbly filmed and presented.

Fingers crossed man, only wish ye the best and I will be keeping a close eye as ye climb the table 💪
Top video mate. And I was on it twice. Once at the start of the match as you were scanning the Kop and at the end as you were waving goodbye. 👍🦉🔵⚪️🦉

And the fact that the safety certificate was 10 years out of date jft97
Wendy fans don't like that to be mentioned.@@midlandfox2954
@@gottawander It had nearly happened at Hillsborough more than once before. The difference was the policing.
@@midlandfox2954and the fact many fans were ticketless and pissed
remembre pictures of Di Canio and Carbone pretending to eat pizza on the pitch 😂. Stay classy Wednesday. Good luck for next season

Great video pal. You should get back if we hit any kind of form.
Well, it would be no real hardship to visit ye again being honest, loved the place 🙂 cheers man.
@@gottawanderThere's plenty of time to save up. In time, Herr Roehl will get it right for us. UTO 🦉 Many thanks for visiting!

Wow, 22k fans in a single tier, what a sight that must have been. Love the additional information you provided, thank you ♥️⚽️

2012 last match of season and all 4 stands were full of just Wednesdayites bouncing & beating united to promotion, some things you'll never forget
@brettdavison2221 that must have been a sight to see! Love that football give us all lasting moments like that
@@gottawander it was something else. I personally think it was only just beaten by Peterborough comeback because of 1st leg score & it was a night match
Old skool ground
Absolutely. Proper old school venue 👍⚽️
If you think there’s not much legroom on the kop, you need to visit the Shoreham Street end at SUFC.
Packed in like sardines there eh?! Can't beat it on the good days though, everyones so close it leads to high fives and hugs from all around!!😆
@@gottawander …or in their cases, high sixes.
Bloody hell there’s loads of places to get a drink. Not like at Bradford where they run out of lager at half time first game of season. 🙄
Absolutely, you definitely won't be stuck for a drink in this stadium. Jeez, hard to believe they ran out of beer by half time!! Hopefully they have fixed that now because having a few beers and enjoying the game is one of life's small pleasures ⚽️🍻
Old stadium not had an upgrade for decades and you can tell it hasn't as well and famous for a tragedy.
Nothing to do with Wednesday that pal
Made infamous by our brothers and sisters, respect ❤❤❤❤, btw it's the famous
Infamous for the awful tradgedy and yes, famous for being a historic and beautiful stadium along with having a great fanbase and being one of the oldest clubs in football. Anyone who watches the video will see the latter message rather than a word in the title, which was my intention 👍
@@gottawanderwell don't put the word in the title then!
Hope it's a Championship ground next season
Ye will get it done 🤞💪, thanks for watching
Like a morgue
Great video, glad you had a good time at Hillsborough, regardless of the not so great match or atmosphere. Been a tough season so far, but like you said, positive signs now we have Danny Rohl in charge. Onwards and upwards! WAWAW!
Thanks mate, absolutely, hope ye guarantee safety this year and then build from there to be a strong contender in the Championship again 💪 your fans deserve it for the continued support through the hard years
Poor following from Boro. Quiet home fans make the most beautiful stadium in Britain like a morgue. The stadium deserves better fans. Sad.
Proper old skool ground and probably the best fans after our Newcastle utd in all fairness!!
Nice to see a Geordie fan in here 😉 thanks for watching and taking the Time to comment.
Is it proper Guinness and let set properly ????
Looked legit early on anyway👍 Not sure if the same could be said when they got busy later on in the evening though! 😄Cheers for watching another matchday John.
Good and honest Vid, pal. All the Best.
Really glad you enjoyed Andy, thanks for the kind feedback
Didn't know they'd copied the Blades' fans' bricks idea.
Massive SWFC fan so Graham?!😉 cant beat a bit of local rivalry!
If you did that first it’d be the only thing we didn’t do first. So I doubt it
He thinks the pigs invented the brick idea lmao 😂

Why do you consider it “infamous”? You’re giving Us a bad name.
