Sheffield Wednesday Protest

I think it was a bit unfortunate all that. he got turned very embarrassingly by Tareiq Holmes-Dennis diving in to try and block a cross that THD dummied. It was hilarious, but also Bannan ended up going straight onto his knee and getting badly injured. Nobody actually realised how bad it was at the time (I think the official Twitter account said he was being treated for embarrassment) so he got the piss taken out of him as he went down and got taken off. He's taken that as Charlton mocking his injury when to be honest it was just fans celebrating one of their players having a good moment, not massively different to the Tony Watt corner play against Forest. Bannan has turned this into a weird little vendetta though, it's odd.O-Randy-Hunt said:
He got twisted up big time by one of our players and got a nasty injury without being touched only to receive a load of stick when going off. He didn't take it too well 🤣2121 said:Hadnt cared much before reading this thread!Why does barry banan dislike us?! Palace stick?3 -

Curb_It said:I think Banan also hates us as our comms team took the absolute piss on Twitter about a miss he made during one of our games... they ridiculed it if I remember correctly. So he wasn't happy about that and when we got relegated he tweeted about us being relegated along the lines of good riddance or something.

There's been quite a few problems with their support in much more recent years as well.letthegoodtimesroll said:If we held a grudge against every football team because of run-ins with its fans during the 60s, 70s and 80s we’d be Millwall. We’re not. Personally I think Sheff Wed could already be fucked but I’m a Charlton fan, I know what it’s like when your club is in that position. If they are going to fill the away end then good on them, they might as well make the most if because there wont be too many games next season where they will get 3,000 tickets.3 -
You’re right - I am too young to have experienced it first hand. And that’s probably a good thing, because I don’t have a skewed / biased perspective of them as a club based on things that happened a very long time ago, in what was clearly a very different era to be a football fan than it is now.blackpool72 said:

Woke nonsense . Fuck emcafctom said:Imagine being so sensitive that a stupid comment from a player about 10 years ago, and a few idiotic fans (of which we have a few ourselves), is enough for anyone to show zero sympathy for a club and generations of its fans that have followed them for 158 years.
Seriously, some of you need to grow up a little bit.
If you experienced that era you fully understand some of the comments on here.
If on the other hand you are too young to have lived in that era then you have no idea what it was like.
Some of us have a strong dislike for Sheffield Wednesday because of what has happened down the years but I doubt you will understand why.
So, how about those Sheffield Wednesday fans who were also not about in the 70s? The kids who are on the start of their journey with a hobby they’re falling in love with? The local businesses who depend on them?Should it be OK to see them suffer all because of the idiotic behaviour of others 50 years ago? Of course not.Ultimately, a bad owner at Sheffield Wednesday is not just a Sheffield Wednesday problem. It’s an English football problem. If you want to see Sheffield Wednesday lose every week or get relegated because of a personal experience - I get that. That’s part of being an emotional football fan.
But anyone taking enjoyment out of a situation where a club is potentially going to the wall needs to take a step back and see it from a far bigger (and more important) perspective.
No doubt that will just get called “woke nonsense”, but I don’t care. The health of English Football is more important than a few people’s gripes that date back to a few scrapes in the 1970s.9 -

Totally agree with Blackpool72. Watching Charlton home and away through the late 60’s and the 70’s was a unique experience, but was also one I would not have missed for the world. Lifelong friendships were forged during that time, a time when violence both in the ground and outside was commonplace up and down the country.
Most of the time, you were able to navigate safely through this with a bit of nouse and common sense. But inevitably there were times when you had a choice - do you run, or do you stand your ground.Not being the fastest on my toes, the choice for me was fairly straightforward! And you’d be surprised how often just standing your ground was enough for the opposition to have second thoughts, and they would quickly melt away into the darkness.
As I said, I would not have missed those days for the world, but now with children and grandchildren, I am relieved that football violence is now the exception rather than the norm, and long may that be the case.9 -

I haven't heard anyone say they want Sheffield Wednesday to go bust or anything like that ( I certainly don't).
But football rivalry is part and parcel of being a football fan.
Do I want us to thrash them on Saturday
Yes.
Would I like to see them get relegated
Yes.
Nothing wrong with wishing for those things in my view.
Totaly different from wanting them to go out of existence.7 -
Yes... we all got put in a Police escort from the ground after the cup game in 2006. For the first time ever for me! A personal memorable occasion mainly due to the fact that it was still kicking off at Kings X between all sorts of teams when we were getting off the train and Tavern asked me out for the first time at the barrier! I did laugh as I said yes okay but I think your mates over there need a hand and he pretended not to know them...
I hope he doesnt read this one.

Everyone has their own beef , I had the proper hump with them when they laughed at our relegation but then I saw how loads of our lot were mocking Norwich as they joined us in relegation last game of the season to league one in 2009 and footy fans are a mixed bunch of bellends and cnuts amongst the normal lot .
percentage wise , no one can touch the scum .
But Wednesday have massive support so will have lots of numbers of the b & c’s .
I’ve been hillsbrough a few times and been lucky enough to have no agg .
I don’t mind em but totally understand others beef with them .
the owners a twunt and hired meire , we’re still under the influence of our twunt who hired meire
good luck to Wednesday and their protests , they are a massive club and have proper away support
to be bringing 3k + to us sold out where they are is next level

When Tareiq Holmes-Dennis tied him up in knots before putting the ball through his legs and racing away, we Tweeted along the lines that it was a great bit of skill from THD to leave Bannan on the deck. He is "now being treated for embarrassment".Curb_It said:I think Banan also hates us as our comms team took the absolute piss on Twitter about a miss he or something he did during one of our games... they ridiculed it if I remember correctly. So he wasn't happy about that and when we got relegated he tweeted about us being relegated along the lines of good riddance or something.
Bannan had walked/limped off so we had no idea he'd done anything serious. A week or so later they announced that he had done his ACL.
Not ideal, but we weren't to know. It was considered good banter at the time and we would never have posted something along those lines if it was obvious he had been seriously injured.
So that's the story of that!

There are posts on this thread from people saying they want them to go bust and posts saying they are pro-Chansiri which can only mean they want Wednesday to go bust as that’s where he’s taking them. The rest of what you say I totally agree with, it’s fine to have a grudge and there are valid reasons for them. Still wouldn’t make me be anti their protests though as I see it as a different issueblackpool72 said:

3 points on Saturday and if they are still in the shit when we play them at Hillsborough, then another 3 points then.
It's a dog eat dog world and if them being in the current scenario means they are relegated this season then so be it. If the boot was on the other foot, then they would be saying exactly the same
Shame there is not 2 more clubs in the same boat in the Championship.2 -
I want them the owner to stay and keep racking up embargoes.
Anything that helps keep them below us is good
Don't want them to go out of business

They're all bastards. Had to dodge a few traffic cones being thrown up there in 2012.1

They really have a proper hatred of Charlton. At one point a few years back, their owlstalk forum had three threads running on the first page about us and the pure hate was quite astonishing, these threads were dozens of pages long.
Adding to what others have said, if you travel away you will always at some point come up against some idiots but with Wednesday it is a constant, it happens every visit. Hillsborough is probably one of my most frequently visited grounds, I have hardly missed any of our matches their since the late 70's so that is a lot of crap I have faced over the years and I certainly do not go looking for it!
Add to the shit I have seen them dish out at the Valley over the years, it is easy to see why so many on here could not give a toss if they end up in the northern prem.6 -
They'll be in the Oak so those supporting their cause can shake them warmly by the hand and swap tales of protests.0

The question put was will I be adding my voice to their protests ie joining in with their protests and I won't.10 -
I'm sure by Saturday evening everybody would have concluded that they really are a bunch of charmless scumbags.5

I'm sure Powell didn't help the relationship when he swung on their goalposts at the FA Cup game!1

I'm not so vitriolic about their demise. IMHO I wouldn't want any club going through the hell we endured under Roland, ESI and further back when leaving The Valley.
Cowboy owners are dreadful and I hope Wednesday get out of the mess they're in.
But...there's no doubt they swerved punishment in 19/20 and we got relegated. And that they danced on our grave.
So I hope we smash them on Saturday - and they end up bottom of the league come the end of the season.

St Andrews '87 before and after the game was a hoot.

That says it for me, we have a history of run in's with that nasty cheating club. I hate them with a passion only exceeded by Crystal Palace. I wish them nothing but ill will. To paraphrase the little gimp Bannon - #karma!! Enjoy oblivion you scuzzy bastards.sam3110 said:

Mocking our relegation in 99.
Attacking us at Hillsborough in 2014 and many other runs in with the 'orrible northern bastards.
The last time we were relegated it was because the efl didn't deduct their points for breaking the rules in the same season.
I'd be very pleased if they spent the next 20 years in Leagues 1, 2 or non league.
