"Owlerton" ! ? !
editSheff Wednesday do not play at Owlerton so why, in the fixture list, is it called Owlerton ? As every man and his dog, and all the unfortunate local residents (on match days) know, it`s Hillsborough...... Owlerton is a dog racing / speedway track--JustinSmith (talk) 13:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- Owlerton is listed as the geographical location and Hillsborough is listed as the stadium when you view the full match details. When the infoboxes are collapsed only the geographical location is shown - Coradia175 (talk) 15:53, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
I used to live near the Hillsborough stadium, neither I, nor any of my neighbours, considered they lived in Owlerton. It beats me where this has come from, someone who doesn`t really know Sheffield and has read it an OS map I suspect. But many OS maps use names for areas which none of the locals even recognise !--JustinSmith (talk) 20:37, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
