Promotion parade

[CrookesBlade]

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.

I think it was booked for the day after (a Sunday or bank holiday Monday if memory serves) so the feeling was it’s all been arranged so may as well have it. There was no way a Warnock wasn’t going to refuse a free meal and drinks.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

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

And me. I could park on the drive next to yours, drop my kids off and have a trot down

 

[DifferentClass]

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

Promotions are like buses, you wait ages for one then three come along in short order!

Your drive is a gamble. There's either a car there or there isn't.

I understand you were talking to my cousins fella other week?

 

[Nicesheffielder]

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.

But it Pisses off the unclean at S6 so YES fireworks display full bag a mashings

I will have full sex with whoever manages to get a "FUCK OFF ALAN" banner onto the SSN coverage.

I haven't got a problem with us celebrating promotion!

 

[Stevo71]

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

Ours won't

Yes mate, and Sam, she kept bollocking him, he was a little,shall we say, “worse for wear“.
They both had a little tattoo, and John had a rum or two

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.

Are the cans for the tramp or to throw at the bus or perhaps to weigh them in and add to the transfer budget ?
Not entirely sure why the cans are necessary

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Was walking through the centre of town at the weekend, and the areas at the top of Fargate and Leopold street are so full of needless street clutter, from those big daft flower pots and the concrete barrier blocks strewn all over the place. It’s going to be a bit tricky to gather outside the town hall safely with all these obstacles in the way. Hope they can move some of it. Although some people will probably use them as vantage points.

……red and white confetti cannons

Council won’t allow big bangs near rust bucket for fear of bits dropping off it.

 

[Blade56]

I’ve heard unless takeover is sorted in next few weeks there won’t be a open top bus parade cause we can’t afford the Clean Air charges.





What, it’s topical

 

[Rusty view]

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.

Hopefully Paul Heaton will have a word to say at tramlines.....

If a parade pisses the pigs off I’m all for it….The pigs would have a parade making out they’d won the European Cup

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Let's get that second place trophy front and centre at the top of the bus to piss off Merson, Sutton, any other media no-mark fancying a dig and most importantly, the pigs.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Can we have a thread for 'Let's sell out civic reception'?!

 

[Harry's Game]

Disallowed

• Do not follow the bus too closely. This is not only potentially very dangerous, but will also delay proceedings for the whole evening's celebration.
• Are respectful of and listen to instructions from stewards
• Do not throw anything up in to the open top bus

Allowed

Kidney punching, but only between the areas of Moorfoot and Arundel gate. Outside this zone only slaps around the head And wedgies are permissible.

Singing of club tunes bit ONLY if it’s “Magnet”. anyone signing “Magotts” will receive a £50 fixed penalty notice from the South Yorkshire Police choral society.

Cats are allowed to be brought along and will be allowed to be counted in the attendance numbers when photos of the parade are used by Pitsmoor Owl the following day on Twitter (Along with obligatory Yeovil Tourette’) to show how small the support base is.

 

[Katzenjammer]

Nice to see that Sheffield Council have revised their original congratulatory statement:


"Sheffield City Council would like to congratulate those fucking Bertie bastards on finishing SECOND in the weakest division ever in human history, we trust that they'll put it on the honours board.
We're expecting minimal disruption since they've never taken 3000 to QPR, but if one of you cunts so much as sneezes without a permit, we're shutting your entire fucking ground

From a Liberal Democrat fan "

Flares are also permitted but only those you can get past the sniffer dogs, so all of them.

Sheffield city centre’s not big enough for a porcine parade.

Does Sheffield have 5 open top busses to carry the Massive?
