HoylandOwl Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The Owls will celebrate with the city tomorrow, Wednesday 31 May. After our epic win at Wembley against Barnsley secured promotion to the Championship, Wednesday will be celebrating with a victory parade from 5:30pm. The party will parade through the streets of Sheffield on an open top bus, leaving Devonshire Green at 5:30pm to arrive at the Sheffield Town Hall for around 6:00pm. With the route closed to traffic, the open top bus will travel at walking pace to allow the Owls to celebrate with fans along the route. Traffic disruption is expected in the city centre on the evening of the event and road closures will be in place. Fans can join in the celebrations outside the Town Hall in a traffic-free Fan Zone. The Wednesday party will then attend a civic reception at the Town Hall. Lord Mayor Colin Ross, said: “Congratulations to Sheffield Wednesday on their promotion to the Championship. A fantastic achievement for the Owls and one I am sure Wednesday fans will be keen to celebrate. The victory parade will be a brilliant opportunity to come together and celebrate another football victory for the city. “Sheffield is the home of football and to see two victory parades in a month, with fans from both sides of the city coming together to celebrate their footballing heroes, is a real moment for the city. I am looking forward to Sheffield hosting lots of exciting matches next season. “I’d like to remind fans to respect the city, each other and security staff if they’re coming into the city centre to watch the victory parade.” Thank you for your amazing support and we’ll see you all there! https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2023/may/owls-to-celebrate-with-victory-parade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I cannot get carried away with this. It’s a playoff promotion to the second division. Promotion to the Prem? Yes. FA Cup or League Cup win? Yes. But not for this. Draw a line under it, and let’s get focussed on a tough season next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose be a few complaining if Sheffield City Council did not do anything as they did for Utd. I agree your sentiments but it gives a chance for local folk and those with kids that perhaps could not make it yesterday to get involved. (Just need Moore to proclaim he isn't leaving for a Midlands club then going 2 days later) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half term though so be a few rock up - give the Blades something for their honours board that they took more to a Town hall parade Note for players - take the mic and don't even mention the other lot. It will annoy em much more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Be interesting if the fans sing "top of the league and we fvcked it up", except they wont. I suppose the majority of clubs in the EFL would celebrate it but Im with many on here, its simply putting us back where we should be at our lowest, even though we seem to have dropped into Div 3 on regular basis in the 50years I have been following them.

I put myself back in the shoes of the kids (not in a grooming Schofield way I hasten to add). My starting point was a Div 2 relegation 6 pointer, I was there to see us best Southend to avoid going into Div 4. We were poor and the tales of Wednesday once being good were folklore but also so distant. Having see us progress, to show what we are capable of, my youngest sees it as incredulous that we finished 3rd in Div 1 despite me showing him the tables. So for them this is the start of that journey. To them this is the greatest thing ever. Let them enjoy it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Some very valid points above, and I can't disagree with any of them to be honest. Yeah, celebrating promotion after finishing 3rd with a 'bus tour' is a bit meh... BUT, winning a trophy at Wembley IMO elevates that achievement a little more. There are a generation of fans who've not seen us do anything like this. The youngest ones can't remember 2012, and definitely can't remember 2005. Core memories like these when you're young are the ones which made me stick with Wednesday (along with, Dad's a Wednesday fan, so are you), although, my core memory on the pitch was the promotion to Division 1 in the mid 80's..

Bellsview Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Being on the pitch with my then 9 year old daughter after the Wycombe game in 2012 is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever been as a SWFC supporter. Seeing the absolute joy on her face and her jumping up and down and cheering eclipsed both the League Cup Final and beating the pigs at Wembley in 1993. I get the parade, I really do. Not my cup of tea but if I’d still got that daughter as a 9 year old I’d be there in a flash. She would have loved it. That’s how SWFC memories are made, and let’s be honest, the younger generation of supporters, as has been said, have had mere crumbs to feed on when it comes to celebratory times with Wednesday, whereas quite a few of us on here have been fortunate enough to see us win (what was then) a major domestic trophy, challenge at the top end of the First Division/Premier League, play European football, watch some of the best players in the country turn out for us, and therefore enjoy the full cake on a fairly regular basis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Whilst I still think it’s a bit tinpot, I can see why it’s in the club’s interest to do it because it encourages new supporters etc AND it’s a way of prolonging a positive news story about the club, let’s face it we’ve had enough negativity about the club in the last 25years.

Well done to everyone connected with our fantastic club. I bet we didn’t have one of our players being an absolute prick about the DRAWBS either unlike Brewster the classless prick.

So you're the reason the BBC (I think it was) put subtitles on when Bannan was speaking recently but not when English people were chatting during the same video. I can't remember the subject matter or who else was involved but it fucking annoyed me that the Scottish chap had added subtitles. Why? He's not speaking Spanish. I can quite easily understand English people's accents, from all parts of the country. Don’t understand how others apparently find it such a challenge. Obviously, if anyone has hearing issues then fair enough. However, they would also have difficulty deciphering the English accent too!
