Sadly I agree. Not been away this year but found last year the day out was far bettert than the game and not just for the performance. So many arguments on the terraces and people often so drunk they did not even know what was going on (know that may be a good thing!). The last few away games I have been to there has been some real knobbish behaviour in and around grounds and I have been quite embarrased to be stood/sat with some Blades (minority that sadly is growing) with some ridiculously racist, moronic chants and negativity even worse than mine. I know its bad but I dont need telling every 10 seconds.
I went to Manchester yesterday with the family (ended up on the Coronation St tour) and had a lovely meal and walked around the Xmas market there enjoying a few warm alcoholic drinks. Had a lovely time and sadly did not give SUFC a thought again till getting a few messages on the train on the way home. I saw some going when we left Sheffield getting the Birmingham train with crates of carling and were shouting nonsense at 9am and actually was delighted to be going on a different train. Fits in with the apathy I felt for a while now. Do hope to get to odd away game post Xmas but not interested at the moment and that is quite sad.
