How far away can you hear the 'Bramall Lane roar?'

[1973Blade]

Yesterday was a rare home match that I couldn't attend. I took myself to Bingham Park, Greystones, where I could clearly hear the cheers for both goals and also a chant of 'Sheffield United '. It must be about three miles away. How far away can people hear the Bramall Lane crowd (and no, before anyone says it, I don't include hearing the crowd from your TV screen!).

 

[COME BACK CHED]

I once heard NA=NA-NA--NA Hes a Blade on the moon .

As a child I lived at Archer Lane, Millhouses (off Carterknowle Road). We could regularly hear the roars from Bramall Lane. You could even tell the goals from the near-misses (a long roar was a goal, a shorter "oooh" was a near miss).

When I lived in Sheffield
I could hear the roar from BDTBL
While in Norfolk Park ( Guildford Drive )
Only a few miles away 2-3
It’s what got me hooked on Dem Blades
Then when we moved over to Skyedge could see BDTBL from my living room window,
Fantastic sight when lights were on for a reserve game at night all lit up

I thought there was no atmosphere on the moon. (I'll get my coat).

Barely hear it from the Kop Bogs at the moment.

Many years ago I spoke to a former United player who was active in the 1940s. He told me that the near-miss "Oooh" from the Kop would almost lift him off his feet.

That’ll be the coke mate , you only hear what you want to ( apparently)

i could hear “The BOSS” concert from Conisbrough.

Wedne*day mates from school report they could hear goals in crosspool sometimes. Especially the bigger cup goals like Jags against Leeds.

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

Certainly can be heard from Norton Lee’s, newfield school area

I guess night matches sound will travel further than in day matches (I'm not sure if that is scientifically the case or it is just quieter). I can hear the Town Hall clock from Endcliffe Park at night.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

South Stand block F - half way back - sometimes

 

[S64 Blade]

Used to live in Broomhill and heard the crowd from there, once when I was too ill to attend. I’m guessing you can probably hear within a 2/3 miles radius anywhere west, south and east, if the conditions are right (and we sing!). Imagine north towards the city centre it gets dampened and won’t travel as far.

 

[Davalon]

What roar?

 

[reedy63]

You can hear the crowed on the Ponderosa.-Netherphorpe-Upperthorpe.

 

[ekke287]

I’ve heard it through my kitchen window before, top of meersbrook park.

That side of my house looks down on the city and you can see for miles.

I used to live on Edmund Rd about 800 yards from the Shoreham Street.
I remember laying in the bath that evening and was surprised I could hardly hear a thing. I expect it was because we were slightly down hill from the ground and shielded by the cop.
So I suppose it depends where you live. I.e. above or below the ground.

They can hear it in Hillsborough pisses em right off

As a kid, I grew up on Alderson Place and when the ground was 3-sided, the noise was really loud. Even when I was indoors, I could clearly hear the chants, ooohs and aaahs & of course when we'd scored.
When the South Stand was built and later the WH enclosure, it insulated the sound a lot.

Clearly a fake - the flag is fluttering (& there’s no world war 2 bomber )

 

[LudlamBlade]

I grew up on top of Myrtle Road and my bedroom window looked down at the lane, the noise used to carry so well up the hill that it often felt like being there

 

[SheepdipBlade]

There was a story doing the rounds in the "Triple Assault" season that a lad left the ground with ten mins(ish) to go in the Leeds game. In the car on the way home, Radio Sheffield covered the equaliser going in - and he had his key in the door at Greenhill when he heard the winner.

 

[Espania blade]

Against Middlesborough our house started to shake with the roar - and I live in Spain .

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

I could hear Dean Hammond's unseen hard work from S35.

Was a pupil at High Storrs School when we beat Spurs 6-0 at the lane. At school the next day a piggy mate told me he clearly heard the chants of "six-nil, six-nil, six-nil!" up at Bents Green.

Wonder if he heard us on John Street stand singing there's only 1 Bill Wyman to Pat Van Den Hauwe? in hindsight probs wasnt the most appropriate thing to shout about...

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

I live about 6 miles away and couldn't go yesterday, but when I took the rubbish out about half four I could clearly hear 'Gerrit forrad, that bleedin' rubbish Macburneh, booooo'
