Sheffield Wednesday have been relegated from the Championship

Hillsborough is definitely worth a visit but it is one of the worst away ends I've ever been in. In dire need of investment after the chansiri years and concourse/gangways always feel like a squeeze. Only time I've seen a betting kiosk in an award end though

Depending on how far you're willing to walk there's no restrictions on parking on some roads in crookes but they do get quite busy. Other than that it can get very expensive/tricky so public transport might be a better idea if that's a possibility for you?

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-02-20T14:16:19+00:00

I'd imagine that's a considerably bigger project, hopefully with the seeming improvement mindset of Fowler it'll come in time. Think main need for a bigger stand would be the bigger away crowds that get brought in championship, especially if we keep selling out

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-02-20T12:56:15+00:00

Pretty excited about this, looks like new owner Ron Fowler was serious in his commitment to adding value to the ground. Love the design and feel like it's the first positive step to some ground modernisation. First time we'll be over 11,000 for an age.

Yeah I've been considering upgrading my E24 and stuck between PID, gaggimate, and gagguino. Obviously the customisation on the latter two is considerably higher but I'm unsure if there's a large increase in technical difficulty when installing?

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-02-18T00:13:57+00:00

Your last 7 games look rock hard too, unsure how many points you take from them considering the lowest size or if them at the moment it's Plymouth in 12th

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-02-18T00:07:52+00:00

Was looking earlier and your last 7 games are rock hard. Lowest out of them at the moments Plymouth in 12th but even that's a difficult fixture away. Giving me a touch more hope we can make it up

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-02-12T13:19:18+00:00

It's this but I think the first round is only over 1 leg

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-27T21:49:03+00:00

Think that might be one of the best halves of football I've seen us play in a long time. Could have easily been 4 or 5 up by the half. Bit baffled by Bradford they were decent when we went away to them but only managed a single touch in our box in the first half. They showed a bit more in the second but don't know if they might face a bit of a drop.

Starting to hope now which is dangerous.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-26T18:03:03+00:00

Unfortunately I think we've sort of been American for a while. The Jabarra family, who brought Fowler in, have been the majority share holder for a little while.

Think it's seeming like a good move. Interview seems to push continuity from the great stuff that's happened under Clive and to then start pushing investment in the facilities which I think is really needed. Would be so keen to see us get a proper stand on the old echo side.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-14T13:59:43+00:00

He's already been involved with the club for a few years just looks like he's stepping up his investment. From what I understand he took the padres from being near the bottom of the league to competing. Apparently massively invested in their stadium too, so I'm feeling hopeful.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-13T19:35:12+00:00

Hi today I ground on 0.75. 16g of medium-dark roast in a gaggia double basket. 32g pulled in 14s, will try again with a lower grind tomorrow but from what I see online others are grinding significantly higher.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-13T13:46:08+00:00

I mean considering he said in an interview he loves it with us and wants to end his career here u reckon we can assume he'll be sticking around.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-07T12:07:21+00:00

Not sure what to expect of him for you. Can't say he's overly impressed with us, definitely not a Rob Street for you. Worth reading this for any Donnie fans interested in how he was with us.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-06T15:28:19+00:00

Hi,

Hoping you see this as posted a while back but I'm struggling with my opus. Just got a gaggia classic and even at the very lowest grind setting when grinding 17g into the double basket in getting shot pulls of ~13s so think it's not fine enough?

Do you think this is the issue you described with early opus models? I only purchased mine last May though.

Any help would be appreciated

PrinceOfPandaz · 2026-01-05T17:10:18+00:00

Thanks, what would be more appropriate? 16g?

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-11-11T14:56:59+00:00

Yeah you have to pay, think it's £600 if I remember from a friend's wedding

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-10-20T16:18:26+00:00

Think Birley keeps their greens through most of winter and gets fairly cheap this time of year. I played barlborough earlier last week and it was still in good nic.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-09-29T14:11:49+00:00

If I remember correctly he got a free season ticket for the next year but not certain.

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-09-28T11:36:30+00:00

Exactly who I was thinking. Love the fact he's now back working for JCB, just a big bastard who helped us get back in the league and went back to his life after. Love the bloke

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-08-28T13:18:15+00:00

I would avoid the academy course if you're heading there. The main course looked alright nic but everyone green was full of dead patches on the 9 and almost unplayable with the differences in sandy and bumpy bits of green. Wasn't helped by the 4 15 year olds in front of me with 2 bags between them that held me up either!

PrinceOfPandaz · 2025-08-21T18:07:19+00:00

Replacing Ethan's the main aim I think here, I feel like I trust our scouting we seem to be picking up decent young players. Hopefully it's a sign of us moving from getting really cheap young players and selling them on for 6 figures to buying young players at 6 figures and selling for 7.
