I'm starting to think our attendances are not something to be proud of. We're just making ourselves look like mugs who'll lap up any old shite.

It never has been anything to be proud of. We're a big club in a big city during an era when football is very popular.
It only used to be the pigs that banged on about their fucking crowds. No one else gave a fuck.

Quite true but at this moment in time it's the only thing on a match day that we have to be proud of. It sure ain't anything that's on the pitch

200,000 cunts in Milton Keynes, so I'll go with 0.1 Milton Keynes - or a decikeynes (dKe) if you like.

I know its been said many times before but our support is unbelievable.

Only 2 crowds bigger in the Championship yesterday and we got more than Birmingham v Pigs (6th v 8th in country's second biggest city) Burnley v Hull (3rd v 1st) and more than all 3 games in London, 2 of which had big away followings.

Confusing attendance with support again, easy mistake to make. I've been sitting in the South Stand more of recent, think the only times I heard the Kop make any noise on Saturday were for the GCB and ironic cheers when Sammon went off. There might have been a few "United"s when we got a corner, couldn't be sure

Quite true but in the fans defence they have backed the club in numbers and vocally over the last 4 and a half seasons. You can understand the apathy that fills the lane at the moment. We have given the team so much backing but with the 2 cup runs apart have been given very little in return. Maybe it's the players turn to lift the mood. After all it is what they are paid very handsomely for

I come for the beer but stay for the Maggie May's adverts.

Is that you and Foxy dancing back to back in the advert?

I think the tide is going to turn next season unless there is a remarkable turn around.

Sub 15 next season or around 10?

Quiet. Painfully.
We made more noise with less than 10k in BDTBL.

An established, very ordinary League 1/Division 3 club, if we were anything other, we wouldn't be reminiscing so often.

 

[Grappler]

WABAW?

From memory, there was no "W" at the start, back in the 70's when I first it heard it, year before the pigs nicked it. If anything went wrong, like one of your mates banged into the table in a pub and your drink spilled, everyone would groan, but the bloke whose fault it was would shrug and say "all Blades aren't we?", as it to say, it doesn't matter, we are all mates.

So technically, it would be:-

<shrug> ABAW

I know both City and Chelsea fans who feel the same way. They both loved it when the money first went in and they started to win things but now 'their' clubs are so far away from what really matters to them that the trophies don't make up for it.

City used to revel in being the underdogs and the real Manchester team, now all this middle eastern money, New stadium etc has taken them miles away from their roots and some of the soul of the club has disappeared as a result.

my bro in law is a city ST holder and he's totally hacked off with it.. so much so that him and his mates sometimes go and watch Stockport county instead.. he was recently ejected from the ground for singing 'stand up if you love City' on grounds he was inciting people to stand up. .pathetic

good point.. Sturm Graz make ten times the noise with 8k fans.. embarrassing frankly

The Werther's Original mob have now taken over the support.
The club hierarchy seem content in the fact that this mob won't make a fuss, never mind make a noise.
A few seconds into each half, John Denver starts off, then it's quiet, then at the end of each half it's a few boos and that's it.
It's epidemic.

Let's get back to less than 10k, get the Quiet Men out and or sectioned in the South Stand, where the only murmur of noise is when the Programme seller comes around at twenty past three or the midfield have gone AWOL.

If you think this is bad, wait (if you're still alive) 'til we get back into the PL. Twenty thousand plastics will be out again.
Let's get back to Div4 and enjoy ourselves, the WO mob can sit at home and watch Garth.

After moving from John Street as the boy got older I quickly remembered why is stopped sitting in the South in the first place. Plenty of ( unfunny ) comedians doing the same routine each game, plenty shouting the same thing at the manager regardless of who he was and the miserable bores behind the dug outs who think they're some kind of royalty because they enter the stand via gangway D. Not to mention those who block the gangways shouting to their pensioner mates who they came down on the bus with, causing a backlog.

You know who you are!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Why don't we all do a Liverpool at the next home game. A walk out protest after the first minute, this would represent the £1 that HRH paid for half the club.

That sounds ok in principle but we're would we all go . Mill around outside , that hotel for a drink . Mosey on home .Sit in the car and listen to pigs playing away on RS.

Think we're better stopping in and watching the match , even if it is crap. It's what we do going back years.

Protests do not affect the board unless money is involved . Not renewing a ST does , but could be looked at as cutting your nose to spite your face .

Next summer signings / clear out will be the benchmark on what happens on and off the field for club and fans .

I haven't been on the Shoreham for twenty years but even before these dark days it's a shadow of 60s,70s and 80s and at the moment it's a joke.
Isn't there any young uns on there to stir things up.
Get singing !

A mate of mine has been a Man City season ticket holder for years and was when they were in the 3rd division.

He doesn't go anymore. He's bored shitless and doesn't like what money has brought to the club especially the sky high ticket prices. As much as I want success for the Blades I can see his point

I know realistically this club isn't ever likely to win the Prem (at least while I'm alive & I'm only 24!) but we support the club in hope that it might just happen one day don't we? We hope that we'll return to the top flight, establish then get into a position to try & compete from there, because otherwise if we are not that arsed about winning (regardless of how it might change the club - high ticket prices etc) then what is the point in spending hard earned cash into this sporting hobby??

Sounds to me like your mate doesn't appreciate just how good his club has got it, he may be unhappy with other factors but you can't have everything the way you want it because life just doesn't work that way! How many fans in this country or any country for that matter would dream of seeing their club have money invested & actually win the league, especially at clubs who have endured a lot of pain like what Man City went through and what we're currently going through, the number that would wish for such success would be almost every fan.

I hope I'm not sounding like I'm having a dig btw.
