Will always remember that game at the start of 90-91. Lyall's first game in charge, they had just come down and possibly protested that they should have stayed in the First Division following Swindon's expulsion.
They had a very good side for that level that year. Sheridan, Palmer, Hirst et al and they brought down around 7k plus with some of them spilling on to the pitch at the NS end due to overcrowding. From memory, we didn't lay a glove on them and they done us 2-0.
The return was a lot better. We even went 2 up but Francis inspired them to a draw.
Can also recall a cup replay down here in the mid 80's. A very contentious last minute winner from Alan Sunderland.
A miserable 94-95 ended at Hillsborough, losing 1-4 and we lost our sh!t, mostly sarcastically, when Mathie netted.
Wasn't there also a sky televised game where Carlton Palmer walked through our whole team to score and Bontcho blazed a late penalty into orbit?
I was at the home game and we were beaten with ease. I was also at the Carlton Palmer is really George Best 4-1 hammering game in about 1993. Embarrassing doesn’t cover it. There was a big old protest afterwards and the team deserved it.
My only trip to Hillsborough was mid 2000s just before Christmas. We won 1-0 so happy days though I remember it as one of those bleak days where you’re glad to get back to the car.

Drawing 2-2 in 2017 in the Mick era when we dominated the game, they should have ahd a defender red carded for disembowelling McGoldrick & they brought on the 6'6" circus giant Nuhiu, who hadn't scored in his previous 42 games & he headed a late equaliser.
We had the ball in the corner in their half deep into injury time, they took the ball off us, and when they attacked, most of our players were in their half! What on earth were we thinking.
I think it was this game where John Wark scored what seemed a perfectly good headed goal, but had it disallowed. He then went on to score an almost identical goal shortly afterwards, which the kn0bend of a ref was very kind to allow stand, in the 50th minute.
So Ipswich should have been 2-1 up by the time Wednesday scored in the last minute.
I listened to the game on a very crackly BBC Five Live in a mate's house (he's a big Wednesday fan!) in Cork. How the mighty have fallen! But here's to them both rising again!
I was there on the final day of the 85/86 season where we lost 1-0 and got relegated on the following Monday when Arsenal rolled over to get their belly rubbed 3-0 by Oxford to send us down.
Also remember a 1-1 draw in 92/93 when Kiwomya skipped past to knock past Woods and dance in front of us.

We used to spend a lot of seasons avoiding them by being in different divisions. When we did meet we never seemed to beat them.
You aren't wrong. We lost 8 times & drew 3 times with Wednesday in 11 games between 1986 & 1995. Not quite as bad as our inexplicable failure to beat Watford (12 defeats & 3 draws between 2004 & 2012). This was particularly annoying as Watford is my local away game.

My two main memories are unpleasant: both from 1985/86 season. Prior to the home fixture, me and my mate Glen had to leg it from about 6-7 of their fans. We hid in John Menzies. In the last away game I travelled up to Hillsborough. Wednesday beat us 1-0 with a very late (Brian Marwood?) winner. Without that, we might not have gone down in ‘86 and it’s too soon to forgive and forget. Although to be fair, Arsenal were also to blame for not turning up at Oxford on the final day.
Not forgetting the idiot ref at West ham and Mark Ward.
