Shout out to the passionate and friendly Sheffield Wednesday fans I met during my Matchday at Hillsborough. Proper Yorkshire Hospitality! Don't forget to Subscribe and Like if you Enjoyed the video and to ensure you join me on my next Wander! 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. Well worth it for me to get inside one of Footballs most iconic stadiums though!! Anyone who would like to support the channel further, you can do so by giving to my coffee "donation fund" ;) or visit my merch shop (links in description above Catch you on my next wander ⚽

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.

@gottawander 8 месяцев назад

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 ⚽️

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.

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

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🦉

@gottawander 8 месяцев назад

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.

@bettytigers 8 месяцев назад

Hillsborough got a bad reputation through inadequate police supervision, and the over anxiety of fans to get in the ground (including some without tickets)

@gottawander 8 месяцев назад

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.
