An Incentive for us oldies

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

I attach a pic of a great article in the Star, which you can probably access online if you want to read it properly. The club seem to be recognising this land mark in a good way, and to be offering us an incentive to watch the Blades and stay alive - they have promised her a free season ticket when she reaches 90. I've clocked up 66 years watching games at the Lane, and I'll do anything for a free offer, so the enhanced health regime begins today (extra glass of whisky each evening). Congratulations to Mavis and the Blades.

No bigger Blade

 

[DifferentClass]

80 years a Blade...

...she's had a hard life.

 

[JohnDenver]

To be violently mugged, especially at that age, and carry on getting out and about is pretty impressive.

So that's what the flip board meeting was about, to sort out Mavis's season ticket......

 

[cahill]

I read that Star article and read it as a single free ticket ! Must have misread it

 

[Tony]

And she's still not seen them win anything. Unfair. Hope she does so in the near future.

Definitely says season ticket, and if the Star says it...

Mind you, the mugger was 93.

We have won Leagues 4, 3, and 2 in that time, so she has only the top flight, Cup, and League Cup missing. And we used to win the County Cup...

Fact can be stranger than fiction. My dad's season ticket was once on the agenda of a Board Meeting, under Any Other Business.

 

[Northyorksblade]

And wow, she knows all the words of GCB by heart!

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

And wow, she knows all the words of GCB by heart!

At her age I'm surprised she hasn't forgotten them.

(sorry if that's ageist)

(Well I'm not actually sorry. I'll try owt for a cheap laugh. Except getting my kit off. That costs.)

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

And wow, she knows all the words of GCB by heart!

But does she sing Magnet or maggots...?

 

[Robbat]

And I thought I had suffered for 62 years. I would love us to win the fa cup and under Mr Wilder and the football we are playing it is possible. Well done Mavis your a star. Up the Blades

 

[Punk Blade]

But does she sing Magnet or maggots...?

If it says she knows the words then she must sing Magnet.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

If it says she knows the words then she must sing Magnet.

This is an outrage....#teammaggot

She sat near me on the Kop but moved to the South Stand this year.

Were they after her loyalty points?

 

[simcalblades]

well done to the lady,after nearly a life time she should be given a free season ticket now. see has earned it

H block?

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

I don't blame her .

It's really not a good idea to have a gallon of Magnet and a Vindaloo the night before a match .

 

[wavy-blade]

Who the fuck mugs a 80 year old women , the cunt wants hanging !

 

[Newbury Blade]

Wondering if my Uncle Fred is the oldest living Blade? Born 1923, aged 96, says his mum took him to see 1925 FA Cup winners’ bus tour of the city. Too frail to get to games now (though that doesn’t stop him going fishing twice a week).

 

[Newbury Blade]

Here he is with my son Freddie - 2 Freds, 2 Blades, born 89 years apart.

Kevin McCabe will try anything to get a ticket.....
