Look Sharp !
The BLS was opened in 1967 - that's the "new" stand that I meant - it was almost impossible to get a good seat in the old John Street stand , so the only chance one had was to get a ST in the BLS - I was presuming (wrongly it seems) that to get a front row seat bang behind the goal , your STs must have been bought the minute the BLS opened.My seat was A85 in the BLUT from 1971 to 1977 then stopped having season ticket. Occasionally Kop for 1977-78 season and then occasionally South Stand for 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons. Dont think my dad was in the South Stand often until the 1980s and why would he be the first in the queue for when the New Stand opened?
Though I've not lived in or near Sheffield since 1976 , when my own son was old enough for football , I took him on the most forward row available bang centre in the BLS , superb view + quiet enough for little lads.
I can never understand why the BLUT doesn't sell out first !
