Your First BDTBL Sheffield Derby.....

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Q...Is it possible to forget your first experience of a 'Sheffield Derby' especially at BDTBL?
A... No.

I remember mine as though it was yesterday. All I wanted was a win, no matter how many by or who scored them, a win. To anyone who's experiencing their's this Friday, enjoy every second of it, from getting there to going back home, hopefully with a victory under our belts. Then in 37 years time, you can write on S24SU about your first 'Sheffield Derby' experience.... To those who have experienced more, I don't need to write about the emotions this one football match ignites...

Anyway, mine was......

05 April 1980

1-1 - MacPhail to make it 1-0 just before half time, scored at Bramall Lane end, sat in BLUT.

45156.

 

[Brian Blessed]

2-0 in 1991

 

[cahill]

Sept 1966 away 2-2

1967, same season, at BDTBL 1-0, Punton I think

 

[Sheffsteel]

Mine was Boxing Day 1979.

I was only a kid, didn’t have a ticket but my mum said
‘Just wait outside the Leppings Lane end and someone will have a spare ticket to sell”.

Arrived at Leppings Lane 1 hour before kick off.
Kept asking loads of Blades but no one has a spare ticket.
Thought I wouldn’t get a ticket, then thought why not try the ticket office.

Asked them for a ticket on Leppings Lane, they said all sold.
Said only tickets left in the ground were on Wednesdays Kop.

So stood up on the back of Wednesday Kop.
The gangways had all disappeared, everything was totally packed and I couldn’t see a thing ha ha.
I was 13 at the time and I took it in turns with my younger brother standing/ balancing on this fence, then you could see half the pitch.

So hardly saw anything of the game, apart from hearing ooos and arhhhs etc.

A memory I do have though from that day was seeing another young lad similar age to me wearing a red and white striped SU scarf also stood on the back of their Kop. Just shows how the fans mixed more then.
It’s hard to imagine anyone wearing a blue SW scarf sat on United Kop in this day and age.

This one, about 9,000 in attendance. 1976. If I remember right we won 2:0 and lost to Donny in the final.

16th December 2000 1-1.

I remember virtually nothing about it, not even the goals.

 

[loyalblade95]

3-1 in 2003 sat in the family stand aged 7 with my grandpa and uncle

 

[snootyfenooty]

Early sixties, Doc Pace was sat on his arse but somehow managed to swivel round and hook it into the net. I was stood on the railings watching the ball bobble in even more slowly than Leon's. I think we won 1-0.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

April 1980 the 1-1 draw. Was on the east terrace on John street, right up against fence peering trough the small squares.
McPhail and the Gyppo scored at BL end.

16th December 2000 1-1.

My first BDTBL derby as well. Pretty sure our goal was a Bobby Ford penalty. No idea who scored for them.

I think it was Ian Hendon. Must've been a poor game!

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Similar to one or two on this thread my first Sheffield derby at the Lane was the Easter 1980 one (first one at either ground was the one at the sty on Boxing Day).

Kenworthy had marked the pig Curran out of the game, the only time he got away from him in 90 mins was going way over to their left wing / our right back area (remember TK was left side centre half). Without TK in the vicinity the c*** then rounded one or two of our players and scored from the edge of the box.

Mine too. Was it an 11am kick off or something similar?

 

[ForgeBlade]

That rings a bell. It wasn't great as I remember. The return leg, April Fool's Day 2001, was much, much more enjoyable. I remember every detail about that day out in the hillbilly backwater that is S6...

 

[Foody]

Mine was the 1-1 Penalty game (was it Bobby Ford?). Was just thinking I've never seen us loose to that lot, we've drawn 3 won 4. The ones we lost were away (couldn't get tickets), and for the 2-1 defeat I was living up in Dundee and watched it up there.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I remember it being really early, I don't think it even came close to selling out either.

 

[axel smeets]

My first too. PCR's goal was a Hendon free kick that hit Curtis Woodhouse on the arse and rolled in past a wrong footed Simon Tracey.

Mine was Boxing day , went with 4 wendyites ,less said about that the better
1st at the Lane was the same as yours , they gave a quarter of the kop to the wendys , a big mistake , they were fighting all the game , spitting and throwing coins , as I came out some twat smacked me next thing I know I was on the floor with a copper picking me up , Happy days lol 45000 At the lane though don't think we will see that again !!

 

[TJB.]

The 1-0 home win with Alan Quinn scoring the goal.

Recall ringing a schoolmate who was a pig 2 mins before kickoff and screaming 'UUUUNIIIIITED' down the phone. Lewis Robinson, his name was. Cocky rat-faced prick.

You're lucky. I saw the home defeat, it hurts a lot more than losing at the Sty I can tell you. Thankfully we've done it to them a lot more times.

Same match as mine lydon....the memory that sticks with me from that day as a 9yr old,walking down Shrewsbury rd towards the ground and at the bottom on the roundabout it seemed like it was about 200 a side fighting and seemed like it went on for years....never seen as much claret in my life...thats my abiding memory of the day....

 

[BigBed]

March 11th 1992, at the sty, and as I went with a Wendy supporting mate n his dad, I had to sit with the unclean!
I think I upset a few people, even though I was 11, I jumped n cheered every one of our 3 goals as we came away 3-1 winners!
My mates dad got some proper abuse, to which he wasn't very impressed with, neither was he impressed with me, as he had specifically expressed that I sit quietly in my seat if we scored......i thought, fuck that!, and showed my pleasure at seeing the back of there net bulge on 3 occasions.
I then had to sit in silence on the bus home as the PIGGY twats I'd gone with had the right face on, the only thing the father said, was, "I'm afraid you probably won't be able to come with us again", miserable cunt, but as I had a huge smile on my face, I couldn't give a fuck!

Never forget that day!

The match the same season at the lane was a 1-1 draw, so not as memorable, but atleast it wasn't a draw, and I sat with my dad n Liverpool supporting little brother on the front row of the south stand.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

April 1980 the 1-1 draw. Was on the east terrace on John street, right up against fence peering trough the small squares.
McPhail and the Gyppo scored at BL end.

Ditto

Home game was a 2-0 win, Whitehouse and Deane.

 

[Stretch]

1991 for me as well. Pissed as a fart so don't remember much other than jumping up then dropping my sarnie when Lord Whitehouse scored.

 

[torridon]

My first home and away were the same as you LYDON sat in John Street at the Lane and in the North Stand Hillsborough Boxing Day.

 

[metalblade]

My 1st derby would be about 1963 unfortunately a 2-3 loss Joe Shaw was centre half, was sat in the old east wing John street. I remember near the end those heavy cushions with the handle on were raining down onto the pitch. Bloody hooligans even back then.

 

[BigBed]

Home game was a 2-0 win, Whitehouse and Deane.

Must've been the season before or after then, fuck me, can't remember what I did satdy, nevermind 27yrs ago.

 

[I should coco]

My first home and away were the same as you LYDON sat in John Street at the Lane and in the North Stand Hillsborough Boxing Day.

Me too!

North Stand for Boxing Day and John Street Terrace (standing) for the return. Been to everyone since bar the the last two at the Pig. I can no longer happily give them my money.

Hopefully I'm a lucky omen, if so, you'll be pleased to hear I'll be there on Friday night. Got to admit I'm not as confident as most on here though. Pride comes before a fall n all that.
