Been told by a mate at work who is a Wednesday st holder that away tickets this season are £36 for adults.
This is the highest in the championship for away fans and personally think its taking the P.
no doubt we will still sell our allocation but is it time for rge efl to follow the premier league and cap the prices ?

Don't we charge £37 for Cat A games? Which would make us the highest.

alexccfc99 · Jan 28, 2025

They charged Leeds £45 this season

Travs · Jan 28, 2025

Sheffield Wednesday is possibly my favourite away day of them all.

(obviously £30+ is ridiculous, whichever club is charging it)

Wednesdehhhh have us down as a Cat D fixture, so I would expect £36

torchomatic · Jan 28, 2025

Remember they were expensive last year. QPR always expensive too. This will be our next away game after having January "off".

Sheffield is good for a slurp but United is far the nicer ground to go to and in the City Centre

Hillsborough is a fucking dilapidated shithole that needs flattening

edgy · Jan 28, 2025

One of worst away ends in terms of facilities I've been too. Proper dump.

True, but the away end at Bramall Lane is far from good. Cramped concourse, crap facilities and a poor view.

It's remarkable that both Sheffield clubs, in the city that was the birthplace of modern football and the site of tragedy that sparked the reconstruction of grounds across the country, have such poor grounds.

The away end is bit naff but Bramall Lane is lovely ground and I can't stand United (Can't say I am keen on either of them)

Hillsborough is just grim, horrible aura to that away end considering the only thing to change since 1989 is the fact seats have been installed

That's your view, Hillsborough is one of the few traditional grounds remaining. I love it, its so nostalgic. The only stand that should be replaced I agree is the Leppings Lane end

I'll probably open a can of worms with this as people have their opinions on what happened there and why it did and I am not getting into a rabbit hole or debate on that...

But I just feel uneasy standing in the same structure that 97 people lost their lives, if balls had been drawn out of a bag different or the powers that be wanted us at the other end of the ground that could have been my dad albeit two years earlier

I've been to Ibrox and Bradford but they are completely different stadiums to what they were when disasters happened there, Hillsborough is identical other than the fact it isn't standing anymore, I find it eerie - Sheffield Wednesday should have been made to flatten Leppings Lane at the minimum for me

We were in that end for the 87 Quarter Final - and it was rammed.

I was held up by a Motorway accident so arrived at the ground at about 10 past 3. I ran into the central section but realised how packed it was and turned around and made my way to the marginally less full side.

If there had been people behind me (as happened two years later), I'd have been pushed into that crush.

Didn't think anything more of it at the time, but certainly did two years later.

Plymouth paid £37 at our place. Leeds were going to but as it’s a mid-week game it’s now £30. We have choices so…

You’re not selling it to me.

Travs · Jan 28, 2025

Its been a while since i went to Brammall Lane (that friday night game in the Leon Clarke era when we won in the last minute)

But the away end was almost identical to the West Terrace.

Still prefer Hillsborough.... proper traditional ground.... despite the recent hostilities, generally been less bad blood than vs Sheffield Utd.... even though its not in the centre its an easy tram ride out and i recall there being plenty of pubs nearby (again its been a while since i've been)

SkyBluePower · Jan 28, 2025

They could build a phenomenal shared stadium on the site of either of them- I assume in Football it puts too much strain on the pitch although Milan seem to have managed it?

We were in the central section and it was completely rammed. I remember a group of about 8 of us forming a line as there were kids Infront of us. Every time there was a crowd surge we did our best to hold it back.

pusbccfc · Jan 28, 2025

£100 day out.

It's a brilliant ground but agree with other comments that it feels dangerous in the modern day. Even with the limited capacity now, it feels overcrowded.

Its walking through that Tunnel that still hasnt changed and the funnelling that it caused into the two middle pens at the time is the major reason for what happened. As you say its a strnge feeling and as a 16 year old at the time who had stood there the year before in a league game it really does mke you think what could have been if circumstances had been reversed in the Leeds game in 86/87

Macca1987 · Jan 28, 2025

Was in the middle section early on, we could see what was happening as it started to fill up, we made our way to the left and climbed over and into the left section where we had a lot more space

Sky Blue Harry H · Jan 28, 2025

No 'Chance(iri)'
If he'll milk his own fans, he'll take what he can from those of the opposition.

P.S. Can the 2 coke headed tw*ts who attended the cup game last season, and wanted to fight the world, (and each other) please not bother attending this year

alexccfc99 · Jan 28, 2025

I was stood bottom tier to the left of the goal last season and those scruffy twats adjacent to us were throwing coins and lighters at us all game as well

I was like a sardine that day as a skinny 15 year old. I climbed over into a segregation pen which wasn't as full. Accident waiting to happen is an understatement

I was in there as well (17 at the time) During one of the surges both I and my mate lost our footing and started to sink in the crush. It was like being in quicksand and impossible to get our feet down.
Luckily a big bloke stood behind saw what was happening grabbed us both by our collars and pulled us back up.
Really frightening made sure from that day forward that we always had a barrier directly behind us in terracing

Had vape literally just miss face and smashed phone out my hand - great shot ill give him that, but could have been different.

Love Hillsborough in terms of proper ground, but some of their fans are utter bin juice as we saw last year.

Is it brilliant? As people have said it's awful inside

Historic but not brilliant

johnb · Jan 28, 2025

I was just to the right of the goal in the quarter final, it was the most crammed I’d ever been at a football match, it was scary. Conversely in the semi final even though we took loads more we were in the Kop and individual standing space was noticely more. We could easily have been that disaster as I believe Spurs a year or two earlier nearly were as well. Which moron set the limit for the Leppings Lane ?

Disgraceful that they didn’t see the obvious signs and do something about it

That's what I mean really. Facilities are awful but it's brilliant in terms of character and uniqueness.

A bit like QPR, I don't think I'd want to go there every fortnight to watch a game, but as a once a season trip it's good.

Tommo1993 · Jan 28, 2025

I think it’s the away end in particular. It’s awful. Good ground, shit away end. A lot like Elland Rd since they’ve moved the away end over to the other side.

eastwoodsdustman · Jan 28, 2025

I was behind the goal and moved to the right of the goal in 1987 too and it was rammed. From memory, Stoke was worse as I was picked up off my feet in the surges on the terraces.

Current away end at Leeds is shocking. The carpet in the 'concourse' is comical.
