One of the few remaining large stadiums in the UK that are still in the same location and have still retained the 4 distinct separate stands, that could be seen in the UK decades, and has not been turned into a concrete cowpat like so many modern soulless grounds
I totally agree with you. I was fascinated with wanting to visit HILLSBOROUGH and have been wanting to do a stadium tour here for over 3 years. COVID restrictions and living abroad made that hard for me. Finally I got to visit and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
Exactly how I see and think about Hillsborough and football grounds around England these days! Sheffield people are very lucky to have Hillsborough and Brammall Lane at the heart of their city🏴❤️🇬🇧⚽🏴
Seems almost all of us real fans agree. But wh6 are so many of us desperate for a soulless bowl? Everton moving from Goodison is astonishing. Went with Luton when they won the league in the late 1980’s. Loudest I’ve ever heard inc. the old and new Wembley. The new Wembley is shit. The size is the only thing that gives it anything.
True it probably does. Not sure if Sheffield Wednesday have the finances for a new stadium. But it’s nice to experience a traditional British stadium from the past compared to these modern stadiums.
Very true. Lots of history an fans in a big passionate city such as Sheffield. Hopefully they can at least get back to the championship this season. Nice to see them beat Newcastle on Saturday.
@@superowlsforlife I totally agree. An have experienced this 5 years ago as a Blackburn Rovers fan. Fortunately we got out of League 1 within 1 season. Hopefully you do too.
@The Dockrays I didn't you know you support blackburn pal but I did hear you guys was awesome in 90s and 2000s you once wore premier league champions in 95
@@superowlsforlife yeah we were in the 90’s when I was a child. They were the best team in the country for half of the 90’s with Manchester United. How times have changed.
One stadium would love to go. Why did they take the temporary seating out of the corner? Looks like they just painted it blue. Who had better stadium sheff u or sheff wednesday in your opinion?
Sheffield Wednesday is better for me. They even were a host for Euro 96 and Sheffield United wasn’t chosen. Not sure about the corner; probably doesn’t matter at the moment as don’t fill the stadium, until they get out of League 1.
Very true. But in a way, that’s what makes it a great stadium tour. You feel the history at this iconic stadium. Also they make lack the financial support since being out the Premier League.
Very true: historically a big ground still going. An yes, the whole place needs a brush up: but I like these more traditional stadiums with a story to tell.
