20/02/10 - Peterborough United v. Sheffield United

Who's going?

I was pleasantly surprised when i bought the ticket when they said "Standing or Seated?" OMG!

STANDING 100%

If you're going, please vote..

I think they should have every away end in the country with a standing area.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

We're going - standing.

 

[Linz]

I think they should have every away end in the country with a standing area.

It'd require a change in the law and the redesign of many football stadiums.

Can't see it happening, as good as it would be.

We're standing.

 

[alcoblade]

Taking the lad who'll stand for the first time and hopefully he'll see what football was and should be like.

UTB

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Really looking forward to this one. Will be stood up. Be my first visit there & another one ticked off.

 

[Torrix1889]

Will be standing, don't get too excited about the shitehole that is London Road.....hardly changed from the time we were there in Div 4

 

[DSJ Blade]

Standing... Looking forward to watching the Blades and not having to drive 80 miles to get home

 

[DazBlade88]

We're standing too, best way to be.

 

[Bramley]

I'm tempted to go just to stand. It's all about the bundles on the terrace.

If you see a 15 stone 6 foot 2 lad bouncing around like an exciting schoolgirl, that could be me.

 

[Dessie]

Good awayday Peterboro - much easier going via Donny than direct from Sheffield.

I'd recommend this place for a few pre or post-match beers:

It's a converted barge and is only 10 minutes walk to the ground.

I'm stopping over night after the game. Going with the missus. Any recommendations?

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Kid Sis got our tickets and apparently they're sitting - She wasn't given the choice

 

[Compound_Legend]

It's a good job I saw the poll at the top of the thread,or else I'd have said Home Win.

What's the betting that Jim Gannon gets his first win as the Posh's gaffer against us...the club that once paid his wages?

 

[Oreyt]

I'm going. Woop.
I'll be stooping like I was at Colchester a few years ago so
as not to block the view of those behind me

Or me. Well, try 16st and 5 foot 11. Still not a pretty sight. I'll be really disappointed if we score and I end up withi a 20 yard radius of where I started.


Number 87 for me!

Charters and the Brewery Tap (Near the Train Station) are the best two pubs in Peterborough IMO. You'd be better off getting a taxi or the train to Stamford as that has a lot nicer places to drink...

 

[TopBoy]

DSJ, me and a few Cambs Blades will be in the Brewery Tap from 12 if you fancy a pint?



TB.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Will be getting there by the usual shreds mystery tours so will probably drinking in a villiage somewhere around 20 miles or so away. Hope it's grantham on the way home though.

TAXI might cost a few bob though, maybe not so bad if 4 are sharing.
BTW where about are you in Lincolnshire m8?

Ah, sunny Deeping. My mother used to live there. Lovely place. Quite a few chaps in the local pubs who, if it were America, would be known as hillbillies. The end product of letting siblings breed I believe.

Jimmy Deeping, not so far away m8. Nice to know there's Blades everywhere.

Just to complete the circle, my missus was born on Shoreham St.
