The current Bristol Rovers squad have shown that they are capable of breaking some unwanted and long standing records.
Can the visiting Owls on Tuesday evening be sent back to Yorkshire after a pointless journey?
The Gas have never beaten the Hillsborough side at their venue.
At our various homes we have only lost to them on one occasion. That was in October 1990, by a solitary goal.
Is it not time to earn our first three points against them for 64 years?
"Will you still love me when I'm 64?" Of course!
In our last 9 meetings the results have been:
24th August 1974 Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol Rovers DRAW 1-1
17th September 1974 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday DRAW 1-1
18th October 1980 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday DRAW 3-3
13th December 1980 Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol Rovers LOST 4-1
06th October 1990 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday LOST 1-0
23rd March 1991 Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol Rovers LOST 2-1
11th December 2010 Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol Rovers LOST 6-2
30th April 2011 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday DRAW 1-1
26th October 2022 Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol Rovers DRAW 1-1
You need to go back a very long time to find the two Bristol Rovers victories.
31st December 1955 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday WON 4-2
30th April 1959 Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday WON 2-1
Can the record breakers do the business under the lights on Tuesday?
Will April 18th 2023 bring another of those special Gas Nights?
Just maybe.
