I selected foreign side. I am half finnish so would go to Finland more for football. Still take in a couple of games a season at my Dad's club AC Oulu, the standard isn't brilliant more like no league to be fair but good for the beer if you can avoid the mosquitoes

I have met these mosquitoes on my one trip to Finland. It's like I was the only thing on the menu.
 
Maybe I'm the only one that wouldn't want to see Wednesday go bust. Know some cracking lads who are Wednesday supporters, and the banter helps us through the working week.

I'd obviously hope that Wednesday finish above us

Sorry Brewster Cost Millions got hold of my keyboard.

Yeah they are nasty you get clouds of them in the summer in Northern Finland literally millions. There aren't many people even natives that don't get a bite or 2
 
I would support Barnsley/Doncaster/Rotherham as a joint SY club and come up with an average points system split over however many different leagues they are each in🤷‍♂️😆. That's assuming they wouldn't go bust before United that is!!! Hell, at least they all have sense and play in red, white (sometimes a bit of black) unlike that other SY team that ruins it all.

But I do think it'd be funny if everyone just jump ship to Sheffield F.C.
They'd shit themselves. "Shit!... better move to a new stadium!"
Imagine that journey of like 6 promotions!!

I wouldn't support efforts to sanction a phoenix club tbh. Artificial. Yuk. Sorry.

🍺 But here's to another 132+ years of this, overall, best football club in the world. Sheffield United 🍻

It did!
Kennedy got shot; and
It is believed that there is incontrovertible evidence out there, yet to be found, that boris once told the truth.

Apart from Blades games I’ve not watched much football at all the last year… I’ve not missed it that much, got very much into TV series and Films.. so if United went under I might give it up and just watch Euros and World Cups every couple of years.

Perhaps I will re discover my love of watching neutral games again if fans are fully back next season but its not a given.
Clubs don’t really die, when they go out of business. They just operate at a much lower level.
 
I’d probably find a lower league side like Stocksbridge or Sheffield, wouldn’t be the same though. Supporting a Phoenix club would be dependent on the Bramall Lane situation. If we couldn’t play there then I wouldn’t really regard it as United anymore.
 
I live about a mile from Elland Road so I suppose I might be inclined to support them lot.

I don't mind them anyway really, unless we're competing with them.
 
I've got Ossett United a 5 minute walk from home so I'd go up there
 



With the current situation brewing over the pork flavoured side of the city, it left me wondering what I'd do if the Mighty Blades ceased to exist in its current form. I'd find the gap left by not supporting United as too big, and I'd miss not having some competitive football in my life.

There's always room for another poll, so out of curiousity..

Should Prince Abdullah suddenly pull the plug, stop paying wages and rack up debts, sending the club into a spiralling demise (see Macclesfield & Bury), or should those in power decide they want to move us to Truro (Wimbledon style) where do you go as a fan?
Before we got there, I hadn't watched the PL for years. Not the game I grew up with & frankly I just don't like it as much.


A couple of years back I caught a few minutes of Chelsea v Arsenal. To avoid contact with a defender, one of the Arsenal player jumped in the air. As the player landed, the opposition defender stood his hand in the air to imply he needed attention.
Slow motion replays showed the Arsenal man had stood on the end of a finger!!!!
A f##kin finger ffs.
That was bad enough but the commentators didn't think owt of it.

That was the end for me & any football not involving The Blades.
I even find it difficult to watch England these days.

I'm watching England in the Euros (don't do friendlies) even though we've more chance of winning Eurovision!
