Yesterday-A Town View

[Panasonicgeese]

First of all I'm not posting to take the p*ss. The reason for coming on here was to applaude such a decent set of supporters for decent and friendly banter both pre and post match.

I genuinely feel for you guys as the penalty shootout was torture and certainly not the way to define a season. The experience of losing at OT the previous year was still very raw and knew how you would be feeling.

The Utd players coming over and applauding the Town end on a type of lap of honour was the sign of true sportsmen and was both a class and very dignified thing to do but summed up the type of club you are.

Next season you will go up and won't need the play-offs.

Respect to you all.

Sheffield United CLASS CLUB, CLASS SUPPORTERS.

Cheers Fella

Must admit I had good banter with Udders fans going to and from Wembley

 

[super_pig]

yeah well done to huddersfield.. great fans ..proper fans..
met some guy with his young son in hillingdon car park.. his young son (about five) was still on one and his dad thought he was going to drop him in the shit. at one point he asked us why we had the wrong colours on!!.. bless him..

 

[blade too long]

we dont blame you at all
,
you were lucky , but only in the sense you met us in the final ,
the only team who can watch the other side miss the first 3 out of 5 penalties and still be unable to take advantage
a team that brings on a loan player in the last minute just to take a penalty then watch him miss it, in fact 2 loan players taking pens in the first 5
United , 90 points 92 goals still unable to go up
United , play 3 full play off games 300 minutes , not concede a goal and still miss out, first team ever not to concede a goal in open play throughout a play off and not go up

only United are capable of this
good luck Terriers, its not your fault , its just us

just call us lucky

 

[Kenilworth]

Thanks Pana
I was still in the ground while the celebrations were going on (to a point - more in a moment) cos I have a mate who is a Huddersfield fan and I wanted to capture some pics for him of the Udders end and the trophy pres on the big screen - fucking masochist I am.

Anyway, two big moans here.
1. Blades team might have done a lap of honour around half the stadium to the Town fans but no fucker came over to the few of us left in the stadium at the end.

2. The stewards came over and turfed me and my lad out of the ground. We werent welcome to witness the celebrations even though I am sure that you lot didn't pay any more than we did for your tickets. I thought that was classless on the part of the Wembley authorities. We were in no mad rush to get into the traffic queue so why weren't we allowed to stay in the ground for longer?

Big Praise for your lot.
We had parked on the West side of the ground and as we left we made a few calls to mates when outside before all the Town fans began piling out of the stadium. No one made any negative comments, no sneers, nothing (me and the lad had Blades shirts on). The only people to comment were wishing us well and telling us we would walk this league next year (we won't cos the team will be decimated). They could feel our pain having suffered it last year.
No arrogance, no goading, just genuine football fans so congrats to you and yours.

You deserved your win (on the balance of chances created) but I thought we battled well considering the players we had out of the side. These were the only tactics we could deploy to have a chance of success.
As usual it wasn't good enough.

It took you lot 11 years to get back out of the third division. The way it looks now I can see us being here for a long time to come.

Good luck in the Champ next year - you deserve it

 

[sheffielder]

Had a chat a great chat with a guy on the way down from Bicester on the train, generally about football and such a nice guy. Chatted all the way to Wembley and ended up shaking hands and wishing each other luck. Certainly not upset with Hudderfield and we have no reason to be. I am optimistic about our future as I feel we are heading in the way. Good luck next year

One thing though, How does Jordan Rhodes score all those goals when he can't keep his feet

 

[Hartley Hare]

Yes, maximum respect to the town fans. Really thought they supported the team very well. Walking up from Wembley central we joined a phalanx of terriers singing,

"Where's yer strika gone, she said no no no."

I turned to this bloke and he apologised for the song, we all laughed and agreed that it was true, and Evans was a fool.

In the ground my first thought was that they had the lovely cool part of the ground. I was on the side in the shade also, a really good seat. Behind our goal the sun was baking down on our supporters.

I had this feeling that Huddersfield wanted to be at the final, they knew long ago that the play-offs was the only way to secure promotion, whereas for us the play-offs was failure. This may go someway to explain why teams that finish third often lose to teams which have underperformed them through the season.

The stadium was very impressive and the pitch looked superb. The surrounding area and wembley generally was crap, horrid place, smelly filthy etc. The prices of drinks and food, as expected were shocking £4.70 for a bottle of lager. Two waters for me and the boy over £4.

The day started well for us as we set out at about 9.30am from North Norfolk. By 11.45 we were just joining the M25 to head towards Ickenham for the tube when bang the gearbox went on the old car! I limped to the hard shoulder and thought oh shit what now. I managed to lock the auto box (triptonic) in third and the big v8 purred into action as we crawled at 60mph to Watford. I decided to stop there and head for the tube.

Using 1 2 and 3 gears we made it to the car park and teamed up with a gang of fellow blades heading for the tube. We got a ticket as a group and saved some money.

We all came back together and parted at the carpark back in Watford. Thanks Mark and your mates for the company yesterday. Hope to team up again when an opportunity arises.

We made it home without incident all the way in third gear. Still got back in about three hours. Car to doctor or graveyard on Monday?

Glad I went, gutted about the result, hope we don't lose our best players now. Maquire, Lowton, Mcdonald etc.

Cheers, Tony.

Where were you sat HH?

 

[Northyorksblade]

Only half bad experience was the Town girl in front of us on the train back to Leeds. Thick, uneducated, no class, a d list wag wannabee with her bleached hais, thick make up and false eye lashes,taking the mick out of United fans, knowing we were sitting behind her and others were close by. Moaning all the way back about being bored, hot, how her phone kept losing signal in the tunnels, needing a stella and how she was going out to get pissed when she got home and telling her Dad to walk eight carriages to get some lager. She was all of 16! I'd have told her to be magnanimous in victory, if I thought she'd understand. What a relief when they got off at Wakefield. Not a peep out of any of the other many Town fans on the train, thank you for that.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Thanks for the kind words Pg. The vast majority of your fans were a credit to your club and (unlike Burnley a few years ago) very magnanimous in victory. On the chances created during the match Town deserved the win. I fear you might struggle at a higher level with the current squad, but hopefully, a few additions will see you OK.

Enjoy the Championship, and heres to 6 points when you meet the massive

 

[Hartley Hare]

Blade, I was with the boy in block 121, we had a good view and were in the shade all match. A bit like the team!

Udders, just edged it on my book. Although, we should have won the penalty shoot out, Lowtons penalty was crucial. Had it gone in we would have been two up with chances to win thereafter!

Nevermind, maybe next year.

Tony.

 

[sitwell]

We were the only Blades in an Irish bar in Park Royal just off the North Circular , with a load of Hudds fans. Shitty boozer but nice John smiths at £2.90 and loads of free parking for future reference. The hudds fans were sound unlike Wolves Palace and Burnley previously ,surprised at the dislike of Lee Clark ,and the fact ,that they dont think Jordan Rhodes is actually that good ,absolutely no problem with their supporters ,they even hated Wendy with a passion.

 

[oldblade]

good luck Terriers, its not your fault , its just us

just call us lucky

You forgot to add that we also did not lose any of our play off matches or concede any goals in any of them. Is that the first time that a side has failed to go up without conceding a goal in any of the three matches?

Always liked Huddersfield (used to work there), bit like Barnsley but without the glamour

Appreciate the post. Thanks. But unlike yourselves we have never had play off success. This is our 6th play off failure and our 4th defeat in a final. Added to which we have not scored a single goal in any of those finals.

Good luck in the Champ next year - you deserve it

i was fuming that the stewards tried to turf me out. i wanted to be sporting and applaud the team that won.

only about 20 of us left like. hardly likely to start a riot were we.

 

[mattbianco1]

a team that brings on a loan player in the last minute just to take a penalty then watch him miss it, in fact 2 loan players taking pens in the first 5

Not wanting to sound picky but what are you talking about?

Taylor is our player.

None of our loan players missed (Hill or O'Halloran) and neither took one of the first 5

 

[HTFC]

likewise with my Hudds friend, i'm not here to gloat.

Was a good entertaining game i thought from 2 good sides, but i'm sure now you can invest in a good striker that will get you back into the championship. Good luck for next season!

Entertaining? you must have a different view from me. It was a crap game by two crap teams in stupidly hot heat.
That said good luck next season and beat the massive and the scum for us.

 

[dingledog]

It was a poor game by two sides playing well below their best, nreves, the consequence of losing all playing a part. On the second half performance alone Town deserved it. It was riminal not to make Smithies make one save until the penalties. That said i dont doubt for a minute everyone gave their best, it just wasnt meant to be.

Our main problem is summed up by the saying 'its a marathon not a sprint' we fell at the 43 game to a lack of penis control and ego.

 

[VespaBlade]

Thanks to the Udders fans for coming on here and at least being kind to us gutted Blades.

I hope your side do well enought to stay up next season. as someone that worked in Huddersfield working for a company that sponsors the team, I have been to a couple of their player of the year functions ( had a drunken piss take with Andy Booth about him wasting part of his career-took it well ) and I know some of their marketing team. You have a seemingly very well run club and I hope that you really do stuff the Pigs and Dingles next season.

I would rather be going on your forum to commiserate with your lot though....
Bloody United.

 

[norfolkblade]

The day started well for us as we set out at about 9.30am from North Norfolk.

North Norfolk? Where abouts may I ask? We had a similar journey (minus a bust gearbox mind!)

Saw Andy Booth after the match having photo's taken with Town fans. He had his ladwith him , clearly attended as a normal fan in the stands, and made time for all the Terriers fans that spoke to him.

He is a really nice bloke.

His wife was his agent when he was playing-I was talking to her and she said that the then Udders manager Peter Jackson kicked her out the office when she was negotiating a new deal..... ha ha
Down to earth fami.

The younger players girlfriends were typical SLWAGs..
You defo would with most of them but then need to wash the fake tan and makeup off the bed.

Hmmmm.... I think that the serious girlfriends of the average early 20's footballer will have fakes bought by the player.
These were mostly wannbe wags who probably met 1 player and bought there mates to be shared around by other single players... And thus were dressing to impress (Topshop Princesses)
