League 2: Would you go?

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

I don't mind being labelled a fair weather fan, but I don't think I could stomach watching our stadium at 9,000 full whilst we churn out a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley, depressing thought. L1 is bad enough.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Bit optimistic to think we could get a point at home to Accrington.

 

[lawlessdan]

As painful as it would be, Sheffield United are my club and they are in my blood, plus I'm a glutton for punishment

Division 4? Been there before mate, but this time it's different. The game's morally corrupt now, it's all about the money. The fans are nowt but a bunch of twats for daring to expect better, the players have no connection to the club bar from their pay packets, and the aspiration is what? To get to the Premier league? Fuck me, how sad. Not that it's going to matter to us for a good few years but watching MOTD and seeing the diving and cheating that goes on there makes me wonder why we bother anyway.

Dropping to division 4 would be a disaster, not an opportunity to rebuild because we don't do that, it really would be our lowest ebb, and unlike last time I could actually see us going into administration and teetering on the brink of folding if we go down.

There's no cash, there's no investment, the Prince is a fucking ghost so why should we keep paying to watch shite like today? No, enough's enough for me. You can take the piss once, but the way this shower of shit treat us they can shove it up their collective arses. Doesn't make me any less of a Blade because this club's in my blood (despite what you newbie home and away boys might think) but seeing the state we're in is like watching a good friend die slowly. Sad as fuck, thanks Kev, although I never believed you anyway.

The first thing the club should announce once relegation is confirmed is that everyone who is currently a season ticket holder is automatically entitled to free season ticket for next season (should they want one) as a way of apology for what they have had to suffer this season,

 

[cahill]

Yes, I'd still go. I'm 60 this week and have stuck with 'em so far so what's to change. Throughout the decades you live in hope and that's the only deception. You have to accept that supporting the Blades you're extremely unlikely to see anything successful. My local gym in Barnsley is choc full of Man Utd fans some of whom go to matches the majority who don't, they may just as well have "tosser" stamped on their foreheads.

UTB

 

[super_pig]

probably.. i'd go and watch them in Graves Park.. perhaps that is the problem, too many of us would

 

[shorehamview]

Yes, I'll go. The chances of my season ticket getting cheaper, never mind free are as remote as my chances of winning the Euromillions, but what the hell, I'll still renew.

 

[William Large]

I would go. I Remember when I was a kid and going to the lane was excitement in its self. Didn't really know about leagues or who we were playing, just loved going to games. Funny how all that gets eroded as you get older and it gets drained out of you with the thirst for success kicking in. That said, if I don't go for a month or so, part of that feeling comes back on the way to the game. Soon lost about 10 minutes after kick off mind.

This season? The last four have been unremittingly shite.

After 62 years, I seriously doubt if I can take any more of this. Football (generally) goes in cycles and big and bigg-ish teams, such as Wolves, Coventry, Portsmouth, Hull, Stoke, Norwich, Southampton, even Wigan for God's sake, have their purple patches or at least a 'day in the sun'.

Us? Absolutely fuck all.

From the Fourth it's a looooong way back. To the Championship, that is. No interest whatsoever in the PL and it's bent ways. The Championship is where teams like us (and all the aforementioned) belong. Excitement, good away followings and more than 30 seconds after midnight on The Football League Show with cunts like Clem.

Also, I'm totally sick of the half-hearted excuses we're meant to believe. FFP, 'game-changing investment', 'We couldn't stand in his way*', 'Beattie is ill', even a fucking broken fax machine. These people really should have gone into politics.

Take Wolves yesterday. Sank to the Third from the PL but were determined not to fester long in this shite division and see the support dwindle. Got a decent manager in, some shrewd transfer business and they're on the way back. First goal yesterday scored by a talented midfielder (remember them?) Kevin MacDonald*.

That's how it's done - not selling your best players and replacing them with shite.

10 minutes in?
Bloody hell you are a real optimist.

I don't usually manage more that 1-2 mins - before kick off

You've gotta go. It makes the better times all the sweeter

Plus, there'll be a Blades away game will less than 1 mile from my house, wohoo

 

[Highbury_Blade]

I'm not going again til we're in the champions league.

Apart from Tuesday night that is!

 

[stannyblade]

Depends on the price of the season tickets and who is in the squad. If it's still the same players that can't be arsed now then no.

 

[dingledog]

I went before in the 4th division and I will be going again. Look at it this way

Stay at home, be nagged about endless jobs to be done

Season ticket will be cheaper

All the other addicts in the Golden Lion would miss my whit and clinical insights.

Lee the landlord would lose money

SF would become another sad lonely old man in the corner wallowing in his I own misery

I might be dragged to meadowhell

Need I say more?

 

[TAMUS]

I would go whatever the Division , because we are Bladesmen from the lane .

 

[ListerBlade]

More new away days. Classic silver lining.

 

[bricktop]

I will keep on going as I have been watching United over 30 years. I have still been to most of the home games this season but only 1 away the game. The reason for that being I don't get much chance to go away due to work commitments and being divorced from my son's mum and he is too young to go to away games, and I think that going on the piss on an away day is effectively taking quality time from him with his Daddy.

 

[Longtimesupporter]

It's 66 years since my first game. I don't think I could stop going now until I am physically unable.

 

[alcoblade]

Really wank, or really really wank. What's the difference?

Good idea!

Zero chance of our board doing it though.

 

[sitwell]

If the level of football bothered you that much you would support Man City.

 

[FleaPitBlade]

Alfreton away anyone? Even I've played there.

 

[JohnDenver]

I'd still go - we'd be witnesses to something truly exceptional. For a club with our facilities and assets to find itself in the bottom tier (again) would make us the biggest failures in the history English football. We've not had administration or points deductions. We've just plumbed new depths of incompetence.

Ground breaking indeed.

Was there home and away last time. This time circumstances are different but the division we are in has never been the deciding factor on if I went or not.

Before or after sacking our third manager that pre-season? I wonder if you are quite a full shilling at times and on others I think you make ridiculous statements just so you can moan about them down the line.

 

[Harry's Game]

Bladesway, Where have I said we should sack the manager? I set a pole up to see if people thought we should if we went down. I voted no as it happens.

And what is ridiculous about asking the club to reward season ticket holders in this way, Blackpool did it in the Premier League FFS! And we have an owner who's family are worth Billions.

 

[torridon]

Followed them through Division 4 first time round and would again if we end up there agsin.

This. Well, apart from this bit.
