I've been going regularly since 1976 and I have to admit this is the most excited ive EVER been for the start of the season.
I think the reasons are
1: The last game of the season against Scunthorpe with Adkins almost broke me, easily one of the lowest feelings I've ever had supporting the Blades because it finally sunk in that we could be in the 3rd tier for many many years and become a Notts County.
2: I'm not too bothered how the team perform as long as they give 100% and play like they care.
As Wilder says he orders the players they must 'leave it out there on the pitch". He's given us our club back and even amongst the fans we've got our pride and passion back, like the old Bassett days. I can feel this club really going places.
3: You can never gaurantee results, sometimes you're unlucky and lose, nothing you can do about it.
However you can control performances and last season United consistently put in good performances every match (apart from Walsall)
with occasional flashes of brilliant one touch quick passing which was a joy to behold and something rarely seen.
4: We never got the publicity we deserved last season and most people still have the perception we're a long ball Bassett team or a up and at em high tempo Warnock team. Well they're going to be in for a big shock when we have spells of knocking it around like Barcelona ha.
5: It's the renewal of the Steel City Derby, as mentioned in point 3 we might win, we might lose
However I'm very confident we'll put in a good performance playing some classy impressive football.
Wednesday fans don't even know what's coming their way yet but they'll learn soon.
