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

[Birdwell Blade]

Can hear from Kelham Island

 

[Stevo71]

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


Any sightings of the ball from Simonsen's missed penalty kick?

 

[Aimer dee]

I can remember standing in our backyard at hunters bar, when I was a kid, listening for the roar. I'd run in and tell my mum we'd scored.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

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

Only for those of a certain vintage and Reading a certain paper their mate

 

[Geordie Blade]

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 read the thread title I immediately thought of standing outside Rounds News (just off Carter Knowle Road) as a kid in the early 1980s and hearing the crowd from BDTBL.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Was never into it really ,just remember the sounds ,another name I recall was Shawn Moran ? Bit later that I thiink. Do they not have speedway down there anymore ?

Shawn Moran and Keith Edwards were my heroes when I was ten.

Snap with the Speedway on still Thursday nights in the Carterknowle area. Basically a couple of minutes of a droning sound. Could also hear the drop hammers (remember them?).

Used to live opposite the drop hammers in Attercliffe , before moving out to posh part a town , well it did have a inside toilet and no tin bath , the hammers are what fucked up mi Da’s hearing when he worked in the steel
Used to hear the drone of the speedway far side of town as well NP

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Could always hear it from Arbourthorne Playing Fields when I were a lad

Hope you didn’t used to swim in the top pond up their ,

 

[pommpey]

I lived right at the top far end of Gleadless Valley at Hemsworth - Constable Drive.

On a night match you could see the sky lit up by the floodlights and hear the stadium noise coming up the Valley from BDTBL

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!).

Against Middlesbrough they heard it in Leeds but against Barnsley it only reached Attercliffe

I was just thinking the same thing. Could hear it at Springs Academy fields too - although, it was Hurlfield back then...

 

[djbaldken]

My mum could hear the Bruce Springsteen concert from Thrybergh back in 1987!

 

[ForgeBlade]

When we scored the winner vs Blackburn the other week, I was walking along the bottom of Eyre Street as I'd had to leave early to get to work (fucksake).

The noise was amazing to hear from outside the ground. Some bloke walking alongside us in a Blades hat looked round quizzically and said "was that us!?"

I couldn't help but reply with, "no mate, 1500 Blackburn fans have just made that fucking racket."

Bert could occasionally hear the Speedway in Ecclesfield.

 

[Right Back]

My first flat away from the family home was St. Aiden's Mount on Norfolk Park & I could see & hear the Lane from there. Loved it!!
The crime, general filth & the lifts constantly smelling of piss (if they were working so I could get in, in the first place), I didn't love so much.

I've heard it half way up Ringinglow road

 

[1973Blade]

I guess Sheffield being a hilly city and Bramall Lane being low down means that the noise will travel some distance? (Not sure if there is a scientific basis for that). I don't know if there has ever been a survey which ground in the country does the noise travel furthest? Maybe St James Park, Newcastle?

 

[Rusty]

I sit in south stand and on match days I can hear fck all apart from Greasy chip butty at the 2 kick offs...

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Could hear it from my grandads on Quarry Lane next to Chelse Park when I was little.

Hear it occasionally from where I am now at Norton Lees

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Drop Hammers eh!!! I grew up in Hollinsend and they were like a lullaby to drift ye off to sleep, could it have been Ponds Forge? The other summer time sound was trains down Woodhouse area, either whistling or the chuff chuff as they started to hauled heavy loads. I hated going to bed before everyone else, your a 'night rake' my grandmother used to call me. I could hear the Speedway mainly because I was there early 50's, Len Williams, Guy Allott etc. till the government put entertainment tax on it so Sheffield folded. There was a resurgence were Bradford riders came to Sheffield Arthur Forrest being the ace in the pack. Some rider was he.

As a kid in Hackenthorpe, I used to love listening to the trains from across the valley. Something rather soothing. The smell from the sewerage works was rather different though.

First house I bought was in Norton Lees.
Could see BDTBL from the attic window & hear it, I suppose the wind would have to be in the right direction though!

 

[COME BACK CHED]

They do, Sitters. Not sure if Dougie and Reg are still at it though

Doubt it 77 years old is a tad too much,

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Its heard the roar..now it wants to take a look see.

 

[dexter101]

Last season I was late for Norwich away. When we scored I heard our away fans from 15 minutes walk away

 

[Jon Bon II]

It's said that from 76 minutes on, you can feel the tremors at Go Outdoors on Hill Street, from the stampede down the kop steps to beat the traffic. Apparently, when we went 0-4 down to Arsenal a couple of years ago, a whole Paramo display collapsed and several flimsy Regatta jackets vibrated off their hangers.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Heard us vs Port Vale in 99 at Owler Bar.

 

[Gareth Kay]

Heard Bruce singing back in the day. North anston
