Hillsborough Stadium

There were nine games unbeaten heading into this week.

And eight days before Henrik got the sack, they'd beaten AFC Wimbledon 5-0 at Hillsborough.

So, yeah, from the outside looking in, I can see it looks a really bizarre one.

I think...

But, you know, you guys all know all about Sheffield Wednesday and its fan base.

It's a very passionate fan base.

And certainly at Notts County, you know, a few days on from a 5-0 win at Hillsborough, the chance started and they were very, very loud in a South Yorkshire derby at Doncaster on Saturday.

So, yeah, it wasn't sort of prolonged, so it got completely toxic, but I think there was a clear strength of feeling there from some of the away supporters.

He's got that support from Sheffield Wednesday, which is very big.

Obviously, he wants to fight at Hillsborough.

For those of you that don't know, I mean, the American viewers that don't know what Hillsborough is, he supports a club called Sheffield Wednesday.

Hillsborough's at the stadium, holds a round.

I guess if you're talking floor seats, maybe 40,000 and he's desperate to fight there.

I think he needs to make Utilita Arena his home for now.

Pack that out.

I think when it falls about 13,000, pack that out first.

People just seeing both scorelines is probably enough.

5-0 against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday at Hillsborough.

Tim, you obviously were there as well as many Wimbledon fans.

Made a really good atmosphere.

So I don't know if they got, you know, special studs up there and we didn't.

But yeah, so Yirdom basically just slipped, completely slipped on the halfway line.

when we were quite high up the pitch and like two of their guys were just running through on goal and it was just so easy for them so that but but that yeah it was literally seconds after the restart i think yeah it was weird because i was actually watching with some some mates who live in sheffield who are not not wimbledon fans and don't watch us that often and that i think they were fairly unimpressed by us in the first half an hour like we couldn't string together too many passes but i was kind of like well this is just what we do right we're we're quite comfortable defending they weren't creating a lot really like they they were getting the ball wide and getting a few balls in the box but they didn't create many sort of clear-cut chances so I wasn't really that disappointed by the first half an hour the first goal yeah wasn't wasn't great it's a bit of a deflection balance shot I think off Johnson but the fact we sort of let him run in the box wasn't great and the second one's just disastrous and you know we're not a team that's going to score many goals when we're 2-0 down at Hillsborough we're not going to not going to really come back from that but yeah just front sort in the wound just before halftime in fact i said to one of my mates uh just as they're lining up the cross so i'd probably just take it to nil at halftime now and then about five seconds later the ball was in the back of the net so yeah that that was that was really disappointing and the whole second half was a bit of a non-event for us it was just like how many are they going to score but yeah it was weird because it's like yeah half an hour you thought this is sort of fine but i guess it is you know when when you play like that you're not offering a lot going forward we know that when we go behind the game we're not very good at getting back so it's kind of concealing that first goal is always problematic and particularly when it's the second goal we didn't there was one Sassi sort of had a half chance at 0-0 nice ball in behind and got in a decent position but he just shot wide but yeah maybe the kind of game where we needed to nick an early goal and then sort of cling on certainly didn't turn out that way but yeah it was a good I mean 5-0 defeat aside it was you know a good trip Sheffield's a great city I think and fantastic away support I mean people were saying you know we played them in the 90s and we take like 100 fans or something there or for some games and you know over 1300 there so you know given our away record so far this season it shows that there's still the enthusiasm there at least

We've got to take the positives where we can at this point in the season.

It's back in POG form, but I did an article of some of the most interesting draws we could get.

Could we go to Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday Away, Leicester, Glamour Tie? That's just the same,

isn't it? You said, could we go to Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday Away? I mean, that's the same tie.

Yeah, well, they sometimes, they did, you know, they used to do the semi-finals at Hillsborough, didn't they? I could have been talking about that.

Could

have been.

In fact, we played a semi-final at Hillsborough in the 50s.

We did.
