The EU and Sheffield United

[1973Blade]

Pre Britain joining the EU in 1973, United had never played in the third tier. Since then we have spent 11 out of 44 years in the third tier or below. Therefore Brexit should be good for the Blades!

Don't think the Blades have really ever bought into this Europe thing.

We'll still be in league one come the next referendum.

Yes there was and what jolly good fun supporting United away from home in Italy . One day made England v Russia look tame.

UTB

That didn't end peacefully though!

In millions of years when human life evolves again, maybe they will let us start off in the Premier League on the grounds that we are a big club?

Before 1973 we had a steel and coal industry - happy days IMO my old pit High Moor had plenty of Beighton Blades
Not saying the EU was totally responsible for their demise but they didn't help either - the farmers got the EU cash

Judging by some of the posts on this forum you'd think we'd be voting Leave by the downwards route next season!

I don't think Thatcher needed any help from the EU

I can remember singing :-
Glory glory to united
glory glory to the Blades
Were the boys in red & white
And we fight with all our might
now were knocking on Europe's door

I thought it was something to do with getting into the European cup not the EU

 

[Selly]

Hmmmm

I fear correlation <> causation in this case...

 

[blade too long]

cant really remember many blades songs about the Maastricht treaty or the Schengen agreement to be honest

that's because we only sing bloody 'shoreham boys' these days

 

[Drunk blade]

We tried to sign players during the transfer window but...........

.......given the uncertainty regarding the EU we cant commit the funds, so the under 11s will be playing in the first team

 

[Grappler]

Can I politely suggest that Roy Hodgeson is put in charge of the Brexit coalition, because he at least understands how to leave Europe without putting up a fight..........
