Promotion parade

[Berkshire Blade]

11th of May.

AKA a short bus ride from the Lane to the Peace Gardens, then Garyoke in the Park.

I'd like to see a longer route. London Rd at least.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Perhaps an unpopular opinion. Novelty has worn off for me on promotion parades. We didn’t win the championship. I find it a bit tinpot now doing it every time we get promoted.

100% completely different from Wilder basically achieving a promotion with a rag tag bunch. We had 80 million of “talent” playing most games this season

Set up a big stage in Hillsbrough park. Have each player thank the fans and give their opinion on how they feel the seasons gone or whatever. Then have red and white confetti cannons, late night light show maybe. Fuck it, make a day of it and get a few fairground rides blaring out Blades related music. Bit of status quo, baby give it up, yellow submarine (blades are going up and the pigs are staying down).

Piss the fuckers off on their own fuckin doorstep.

Obviously on an open top bus setting off from Bramall Lane via London Road.

Bring your own pyro.

You need to get over your obsession with Wednesday. They’re irrelevant to us.

Can we afford it , them Big Busses dont come cheap >

Fair points both, but I think it is really important that we celebrate the successes when they come along. I would also add that despite having a terrific squad at his disposal, PH has had to manage the worst injury crisis that I have even seen, at any club ever and which only stabilised during the last quarter of the season.
On top of that, pretty much everything else off the field has been stacked against him and the team, so bearing all this in mind I think that this achievement easily matches Wilder's 2nd promotion.

 

[Scarebus]

my favourite memory from the last promotion party was our incredible bus, decked out in a wrap, no expense spared. Then Barnsley used the same bus a week later, and it just didn’t have the same vibe.

 

[Tuns25]

We've had two good home match celebrations. We came second. We were in the Prem recently it wasn't a shock we went up.
It's a Parade too far and likely to be far lower attended than the Wilder bender.
But each to their own I'm sure there are parade diehards in our fanbase who will show up.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Please send the bus through the road works on Heeley Bottom, that'll add 45 minutes to the route.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

No. We were in the Prem two years ago.

If we’d got to the FA cup final then fair enough, makes it a special and historic season.

It’s been a good season, but they should have got promoted with the players they have. Victory parade is taking it too far

 

[SwissBlade]

It’s a chance for the city and it’s mayor to thank the club for being successful and bringing in money to the economy.

I don’t mind Barnsley doing it again!

I agree, but then I didn’t bother with the last one either so I don’t think it’s for me!

Just do something in the club car park would seem about right

 

[CrookesBlade]

Get down there with a big bag of cans and enjoy it. It’s right that the city celebrates sporting success.

Promotion to the Premier League is a huge prize in modern football won over a gruelling 46 game season (plus throw in the cup run). I’ve been going for 30 years and seen 4 promotions, we could be relegated next season and be waiting 20 years for the next one for all we know.

And certainly don’t worry about fans of other local clubs claiming it is “tin pot” (whatever that annoying phrase means). It’s like a pissed tramp sat in a pile of his own shite laughing at you on your way in to work.

I think Aldi might be up for letting us have a party in their car park lol

Errea have done it this time

 

[S64 Blade]

Away for this, but I think I would have gone otherwise. You’ve got to enjoy these moments whilst you can, as a fan. We went over 10 years, not long ago, with nothing much to celebrate.

Think you are all forgetting the most important factor. Don't we need permission from Paul Merson and the Daily Mail?

 

[Blade82]

Didn’t we have one in 02/03 after we won sod all?

We’d got to a couple of semifinals but got embarrassed at Cardiff, losing the playoff final in the first 45mins.

If you don't think that season was worth some sort of celebration then supporting United must be a hell of a burden for you

It was a season to celebrate and I was there waving the coach
off from Bramall Lane although I thought a lap of honour at Bramall Lane would have been more appropriate rather than an open top bus with no trophy or promotion to sing about.

At least we have something to parade with this. Again, I’ll be there either way

 

[Ecco1889]

It’s a yes from me,lets hope it doesn’t end like the 2019 one when random members of staff were singing karaoke style outside the Town Hall

What a wanker Paul Merson is btw. As if we have the choice whether the EFL presents 2nd place with a trophy. He’d be the first player to pop the champers given the chance.

It’s been happening for about 15-20 years so not sure why he’s just singled us out. If the 6th place team can get one for winning the lottery of the playoffs why not 2nd place for earning promotion outright.

Crab bus wraps first venture, didn’t go well.

I asked Vern to sort out a wrap for the bus and he came back with a wrap alright. Sweet chilli chicken.

Delicious but not what I asked for….

That would be brilliant for those who live that end, like me...

Woah, less of the air quoting talent please! I imagine you mean how much we paid (which may be questionable in some cases), but I would wager that now we're promoted, we certainly do have at least 80m of talent in the first team.
