If you had a time machine...

...which blades game, one of which you have missed in the past, would you have loved to have been to?

It can be any game, but you cannot have been to it due to reasons such as before you were born, or other reasons you missed it.

For me, it's the Blades 3-2 West Ham game where Ruby Murray scored THAT goal in the 70s. Any more?

Ditto. I was old enough but didn't go

Forest play off game at home in 2003. I would've still missed it though if i went back in time as i would've still been in Germany. I needed a different job machine

Darlington away in the fourth division year. Went to loads away that year and I can't remember why I didn't go to that one. But the stories I've heard....that's the one I truly wish I'd made.

 

[wizadry]

1925 FA Cup Final.

Did you sell your season ticket that year, is that why you didn't make it?

 

[judge]

Port Vale when kozzy crossed it in the Kop
Only me that wasn't there

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Another one, Man U away when we were top of the first division after winning I don't know how many of our starting games.
Slightly before my time but my brother in law swears we took over 30k that day and thousands were locked out.
You have to remember in those days it was all pay on the gate.
Always makes me think what this club could have been and maybe still can if we can command that sort of support.

 

[Jehovah]

I might start a thread about which games do you wish you'd not been to and breach a hundred pages

 

[1889]

Bristol City, first home game of last season.

On my way to the Lane, I'd have called in the bookies, put ten grand on Leicester City to win the Premiership

Sept 4th 1973, Blades 5 Arsenal 0. TC sitting on the ball in front of Alan Ball. That night I was at boarding school and would have loved to see that "revenge" as 21 months earlier I saw us losing 5-0 to Arsenal and remember Alan Ball sitting on the ball.

Would have loved to see us winning the League in 1898, winning the four FA Cup finals. Beating Spurs 6-1 to pip Wendy for the 2nd promotion place in 1939, then walk around Sheffield to see what it looked like before war started also going to my grandparents house in Hartley Brook Road and my great grandparents house in Buckingham Terrace (Cammells Row) in Dronfield. Beating Wendy 7-3 at Lane and 3-1 in reverse fixture in 1951-52 are the others I would have loved to see also when there were 68,000 at the Lane against L**ds in the 5th round of the FA Cup in 1936. If there was a year I would have loved to see again, it would definitely have been 1971

 

[JohnDenver]

As a young'un I turned down the chance to see us play Spurs one Tuesday evening in the early '90s...

may 1993 Sheffield united 2-0 Nottingham Forrest the day brian clough retired probably the greatest english manager of all time

Missed that one as I was playing cricket that day. Grrr!

was 2 years before i was born but i remember my grandpa telling me about that day

 

[Bladesway]

Leeds United 0 Sheffield United 4. No more reason than to ram it down their throats.

Bert was one of only a few hundred Unitedites who got in that day.

Away game, United fans were singing "Cloughy for England" "Cloughy give us a wave".... and he did!

 

[Silent Blade]

Me too, My dad had already got the seat tickets and we got in the ground early.

 

[shorehamview]

I'd go back and tell them that the few grand more to sign a 16 year old Maradona instead of Sabella would be a fucking bargain.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Probably the 3-1 victory over the Pigs at the Deathtrap in 1992, completing a resounding double.

Either that or the 0-0 draw at Blackpool in January. A masterclass in hard work, endeavour and professionalism.......

 

[Silent Blade]

Would he have settled in Sheffield? Two of our Spanish speaking coaches, Danny Bergara and Oscar might have help him to settle but 1978-79 being one of the worst winters we have ever had would have been another big challenge for him

 

[Large Mendonca]

An easy one for me - Leicester 5/5/90. Don't tell sitwell, but i was playing fooking cricket !!

 

[sitwell]

Bert was one of only a few hundred Unitedites who got in that day.

I was there but saw nowt ,too small. Mine would be Hull at Wembley last year just to see us score at Wembley ,Ive been to every other big game think since 70/71 ,but was in the States as I never thought we would make the semi.

 

[Blade56]

Bolton game next August. Can't feckin wait.





Well no one said I had to go back in time!

 

[Keen Blade]

Leicester away 1990 , me & 2 mates had tickets , I live in Manchester , mate 1 in Sheffield & mate 2 in Toronto. Mate 1 had tickets. My new g/f booked hol in Crete without telling me , mate 1 wife left him for good on morning of match + took car with her , so the only one who got there was mate 2 who landed at Heathrow that morning + belted up M1 only to find he was mateless & ticketless. Fortunately for him he is full of shit so was able to blarney his way in without a ticket by telling the whole daft story to sympathetic Filbert St official. I could fill a few pages with hilarious stories of following the Blades since 1968 aged 10 but this one still has us cracking up when we meet mate 2 who still lives in Toronto for playoff finals and other big games or those which occur when he's back 'ome !

 

[torridon]

Northampton Town, Division 4, 7-3 home win, decided to go to the Youth Club with my girlfriend instead, who then dumped me, her loss, still bitter!

Oh how I wish we'dve gone in for a hologram of Sir Brian instead of his son...
