Disaster At Hillsborough
Tuesday, 03 July 07, 11:29 AM · Comments(3)
... but of a different kind. Poor Sheffield Wednesday have had their stadium completely flooded because of the recent deluge of rain in England.
Wednesday, in the Premiership not-so-long-ago, and then fighting for promotion in League One not too long after, had finally stabilised themselves in the Championship. However, this will be a big blow to their fortunes... quite literally.
The flooding will cost the the Owls a massive £120,000 pounds in repair money! Fine, it's only a week's wages for Thierry Henry, but it's a big deal for struggling Wednesday. Let's hope that it
doesn't affect them too badly, because they are one of the oldest institutions in English football.
