I thought there were supposed to be 1000 going?

They should have arranged it at a time when people wern't at work, a sunday or something.

Correct Sharpy, this should have been done on a saturday daytime when plenty of people are in town already. But I can see from SU's perspective, in that they wanted it to occur the same time as Sean Bean was down at house's of parliament.
 

Im not being a negative nancy for the sake of it but is it just me who finds that video proper hard to watch? Soooo cringeworthy!

'We are premier League' - No, we are in the championship. :rolleyes:

What was cringeworthy was the Tom Hark song, other than that if you find the greatest football song ever in existance being sung cringeworthy that says more about you ;)

We are Premier League would have been potentially better as "we want equality" or something, but its hardly cringeworthy, its clear the reason why it was sung.
 
I don't agree that it's cringe-worthy but I can see what Sharpy means to some extent. It could very easily look like "Oh look, a few locals from the little northern town of Sheffield come down to the big city for a day out, bless em. Anyway, back to work..."

Maybe some bloodied weapons and the odd Scudamore voodoo doll would rattle a few cages...

This is the news story we'll be adding to the site shortly (i.e. when Fox has finished fannying around with a video)

As Sean Bean and his delegation of Blades descended on the capital today, Blades in Sheffield were encouraged to gather outside the City Hall for a secondary show of solidarity. Originally, the club were set to put on free coaches for willing Blades to accompany the film star on the trip to the House of Commons. However, with the risk of crowd trouble which would bring bad publicity to our cause, this plan was put on the back burner with the small event in Sheffield put together for those wanting to show their support.

As the traditional 1pm siren rang out across the city centre, the few hundred Blades fans that had managed to get the time off work or wagged from school looked on as Blades announcer Gary Sinclair kicked off proceedings with a few Blades related tracks.

A number of guest speakers were then invited to address the attendees, sharing their thoughts and support on the campaign while posters, balloons and t-shirts were handed out to brighten up one corner of the city centre this dinnertime.

Robert Jackson (ex Radio Sheffield) who looked very dapper in his hat was the first, delivering a passionate speech, reiterating time and time again that cheats must never be allowed to prosper. Following Robert was the leader of Sheffield Council Jan Wilson, confirming that despite being a two club city, the council is firmly behind the Blades crusade for fairness and reminiscing about her younger days watching the Blades from the Kop.

The club were represented by Vice Chairman Chris Steer, better known to us in the South of Sheffield as the owner of Pyramid Carpets on Woodseats. His speech was lacking in passion but the message behind it was simple – the Blades are prepared to fight. Harry Gration’s introduction was met by a mixed of boos , a few shouts of“we all hate Leeds scum” and a smattering of applause. His speech however, was one of the best on the day. “All real football fans are behind the Blades” he declared, before reading out petitions of support from Brighton and Hove Albion and Wigan Athletic, the latter promising an interesting reception for the Hammers next season should we not be successful in our bid. A lone Chelsea fan rounded up the messages, showing that we maybe have more support in the Leagues than our resident West Ham fans would have us believe.

The Greasy Chip Butty rounded off the meeting, with a few spontaneous chants of “we are Premier League”. Meetings in town might not make much of a difference in the long run, but let’s hope come August, we can be chanting “we are Premier League” and mean it.

Thanks Linz, here is hoping that the good publicity created by the efforts of the club and fans today will show the PL that they cannot simply sweep this issue under the rug.

I'm still doubtful that we will be re-instated but i hope that i am wrong.

I knew full well you were apparently going to the festival.... You did however reply to a post purely based on asking who the 100 people going to London with Sean Bean were with the words "i'm going". Whilst admittedly the post was a little vague, most reasonably intellegent people would have presumed you were claiming to be going to said event.

Sorry then maybe it was vague. :)

No need for people to get arsey about it though.

I'd call it sad rather than selfish.

What a moron.

I'm not being arsey, purely asking when you was setting off to London and why you hadn't gone given that you said you were going in the thread regarding Sean Bean & 100.

Not only is it vague, you also appear to have posted it in totally the wrong thread ;)
 
Anyway... all the pictures and a video at the bottom are HERE
 
Haha!! I stand out like a sore thumb in a bright yellow t-shirt! We weren't going to go, then decided to have lunch out in town which was just after 12pm, so headed for Lloyds Bar & about 12.15 we could see one Blade on the steps - we headed down after lunch about 12.45 and thought "we can't not stay now we're here".

Was pleased with number of people that had turned up, to say it was 1pm on a Weds afternoon and many would be at work. As my friend said "there's more here than it appears".

I think it was a bit cringing - Tom Hark & the "we are premier league" chant - few words followed by music - trying to space it all out a bit to make it last.

We can say we were there - we went, we supported. Yes it would have been better on an evening, like the Promotion celebrations etc so that more could join in, but it was obvious they wanted it to tie in with the happenings in London, which is fair enough.

PS. Harry Gration looks so much older in real life :D
 
Just a note... if guests and members with less than 5 posts want to see the pictures... click on the link in my post #53 :) (^ up there look!)
