We're Sheffield United, not Sheffield.

Ta.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I think we will set up even more defensively than normal (if that’s possible), and hope somehow to grind out a thrilling 0-0

Oh joy

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

They're coming to take The Shoreham.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Think it's all ticket for all areas innit?

 

[Maidenhead]

The comment about being all ticket prompted me to look at their official site and I was surprised to discover that we're charging them £25.

Didn't we boycott Bolton because they wanted £27 ?

“Leon Clarke could be recalled to the Sheffield United team, not good news for us.”

Not particularly great for us either.

well done - and no EXCUSES on late reporting Post match either - anyone would think it was bloody Christmas

UTB

Beat me by a minute....

We're Sheffield United, not Sheffield.

Just as they are Oldham Athletic, not Oldham.

 

[Jehovah]

Generally have a bee in their bonnet about us. They're quieter this time as they are expecting to be hammered. Vast improvement on Coventry needed to do that though.

 

[Trigger Blade]

We're Sheffield United, not Sheffield.

We hardly got a mention there, it's all very introspective.

Last season they had a fantastic away record. When we beat them in March, it was their third away defeat and they only lost five away all season, which was surprising as Anthony Gerrard was the lynchpin of that defence and he looked less than match fit.

That was the only convincing home win we had all season too, in my view.

 

[Rodders]

The first half was bizarrely Holland 74-esque.

I thought we played really well against Bradford at home. Agree though most were painful.

The Bradford game was decent too imo

 

[blackydog]

“didn’t even know it was all ticket – just assumed pay on the day – well, Sheffield end it will be then.”

If they're referring to the kop, think they're going to find it uncomfortable, looked very busy when i got my tickets on Monday. SS was almost full too.

 

[SwissBlade]

Just as they are Oldham Athletic, not Oldham.

Although there is only one team in Oldham

Good point actually. I was foolish enough to think a corner might have been turned after that.

 

[blackydog]

I know how hard it can be but they should get behind their team and hope to snatch one on the break, they must have seen how we play by now. Hate it when people go into a match with that "lost already" attitude.

 

[blackydog]

weren't we all???

 

[CarlingBlade]

Love the variety of views:

“We travel in numbers considering how shite we are”

only to be contradicted by:

“Not bothering going. Can’t believe I`m not bothering to go to a roses derby on Boxing Day but I suspect I am not alone. This pathetic shambles of a souless side has finally broken me.”

 

[Ecco1889]

a manager at our place is a Bradford fan,after that match he was convinced we would get auto promotion

Cost me £23 for kop so £25 seems reasonable for them. It is Cat "A"

 

[Tyler Durden]

I read elsewhere on their forum that close to 400 had been sold.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

No bombs on John Street?

 

[TONY_TONY_AGANA]

Well that fella best not be sat next to me! I'll tell you what, if he even thinks about celebrating ANYTHING then I'll tell him to jolly well sit down, ask him if he wants to read through my programme at H/T and maybe think about checking the small print when it comes to ticket sales in future. Wolly.

 

[Wards]

Do we all get to witness Ryan Flynn turning backwards towards his full back 34 times a game again? Or have they sussed him out?

 

[SB_90]

Normally i had quite confident v bottom of the league. Problem is we've been here before. 4 years ago??? v Hartlepool at Christmas, i thought 3pts were absoultely nailed on as we were top or 2nd & Hartlepool were rock bottom 1 win all season, they not only won but completely outplayed us
