His night of wonder was stolen by the fact Deon Burton scored.  The man Jim Smith described as only missing the ability to score goals to be a top level striker.

Loved Deon at our place.

Him scoring was only marginally less surreal than us having Bruce Grobbelaar as our sub keeper.

Loved watching Ciccio play. Had an incredible run of goals in consecutive (Premier Lge) games too at one point. Maybe six in a row? Well, it was incredible for us!

He was untouchable that night at Hillsborough when I think you broke your barren league record at ours, battered us 5-2.

That was a one-off, which the club at the time got roundly criticised for. Stop quoting it as if it was your historic entitlement. 

I'm fine with you giving us exactly what we give you. If you give us  less, then I'd recommend we give you even fewer the next time we play you. 

We had 5k a few years before too but usuay was 3k.

I agree with reciprocal allocations btw.

If you mean when we moved the away fans from behind the goal to the position in the corner then that was 2013?  I’m not even sure it was 6k?  
What I was talking about was  constantly limiting numbers during a season depending on who you play?

We used to get 5k at Forest but only 2k now.  I thought we ought to have limited away fans to the minimum 2k but due to segregation issues we’d have just had empty seats that generate no income.

We had just shy of 6k in 2012/13 season.

We don't constantly limit numbers but we are playing you on the final day of the season so why should we allow more of your fans in ahead of our own.

The maximum away allocation is fixed due to segregation and internal stadium layout. It cannot be reduced because of demand from home fans. The away corner has a capacity of about 3150, and is only increased to about 5000 for FA Cup fixtures if the away side requests that amount.

Yeah more the point you moved fans into the South Stand and gave away fans the corner instead due to demand which is fine, 3k is better you get at most places.

So Wednesday could reduce the away allocation if there’s a winner takes all game on?

Thats ridiculous?  We don’t reduce our away end for anything, Forest get full allocation.

How many tickets do the Blades get when they rock up?

If it wasn’t for covid, Wednesday would have had full allocation for the relegation match two seasons ago.

Just realised, it’s South Yorkshire Police isn’t it? They’ll reduce allocation and increase the issue of batons, dogs and horses to officers.

We can offer what we want, we are meeting League guidelines, much like you lot reducing our allocation from 6k to 3k due to demand from your own fans. 3k is ample.

Seeing as I don't have the permission to post in the main forum I'll add it here

Derby remaining away ticket allocations guide

Cambridge 1470, down 1k from last season but not got a clue why

Accy up to 2.6k

Ipswich now 2k cos of lower stand safety 

MK 6.5k max down 300 and police advice

Pompey 2.8k

Burton 1.7kish

Bolton 5.1k 

Vale, Bolton had 3,250 and our allocation is announced soon BUT they maybe moving away fans to opposite end after proving popular in their PO semi so could be 2.2k

Cheltenham 1.5kish

Plymouth 1.6k 

Wycombe 1.8k

Barnsley 5k max 

Oxford 1.8k unless Plod reduce it like they did to us and was around 300 fewer

FGR 1.2k

Posh 4k 

Brizzle R 1.1k

Exeter sub 1k

Wednesday 3k upper 1k lower but will depend on what may be at stake which could reduce it

I was really underwhelmed with him two years ago. Just looked the definition of average to me.

I tried mate, granted some posts could have been better but average is harsh.

I'm a bit disappointed in the reactions to @walkleyowl. 

He's been on here for years, doesn't post on the wind up, and I've  enjoyed his input in that time.

He's the sort of opposition fan that should be welcomed on the forum.

Thanks fella.

I was told he hates Owls and in fact Budgies are his favourite bird.

The b******

He began his career at their Academy but left at 16, his own career meant he rarely got to watch any team.

There were rumours of a Blades tattoo when he first joined but was a load of b*******.

Talked to someone who works with the Sheffield Wendsday players, and he said Lee says that Derby was the best club that he has played for, a real family club which looks after the players and all the staff, along with the good support.

Not what I heard.
