Atmosphere at the lane

[South Bucks]

Good point,

But where are we going to find enough Celtic fans in Sheffield, to fill each end of BDTBL?

Maybe they want their team to win more than we do by doing something about it.

When teams like Shrewsbury come to BDTBL and out sing our fans it was embarrasing and nullifies the home advantage.

I actually prefer to watch utd away where the atmosphere amongst the blades is far livelier, vocal and more fun. For example at Swindon when they had pulled it back to 2-2 the way our fans got behind the team seemed to up their effort levels and maybe helped get the win.

Its our choice, how much do we want it compared to Celtic and other fans ?

A lot of people are physically incapable of going 45 minutes without a piss, a pint or a smoke so I probably put it down to that.

What about the poor bastards who have to go 90 minutes without something to eat because they've run out of pies at half time?

Hey, and lay off us pissers, wait until you are 60+.

Yeah, and that, no doubt some of them have to run home to have a pie. It is impossible to go nearly 3 hours without eating after all.

Not having that excuse about pissing though! Smart bladder management can surely avert the problem.

As for the smokers, I've got no problem with them fucking off early if it means we don't have to put up with them puffing on those e-cigarettes inside the ground.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

The issue with a designated singing section is that it's likely to attract the... putting it mildly... "giddy kippers" who've been causing trouble at away games.

Kipper attack !

Bert normally leaves at five to three to beat the traffic.

You should write a book on how. Guaranteed best seller and don't forget my 10% for giving you the idea!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Atmosphere was great in the last 5 minutes against Charlton but the rest of the game it was flat like most games. Is the problem having not many chants or needing a proper designated 'singing section' around Gangway G, F and E on the kop

Designated singing section should be otherwise known as The Kop, South Stand, Bramall Lane Lower, and John Street.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

We can't blame other fans for the lack of atmosphere at BDTBL.
It's up to all of us to make some noise .

Has anyone told SwissBlade?!

I'm a man of the people, i like to surround myself with plebs.

No. Just been to St John's Wood. 30 minute drive. Had a piss before I set off. No sooner had I parked my car, I wanted a piss. Badly. So badly I ended up buying a coffee for £3.40 just to use the toilet. Half a fucking hour and I'm not even fifty yet. And I'd not had a pint either.

 

[Muttley]

I was there on Saturday, 3 weeks after having a triple heart bypass. I thought about leaving early as I didn't want to get jostled about as things still hurt a bit!
The last few minutes were tense, but the crowd behind me on the Kop sprung into voice and I just thought " bugger it, I'm staying, clap the lads at the end and then wait 5 minutes for the masses to make their way out".
I'm glad I did!!

 

[MobileBlade]

I'm afraid as a currently 30 week pregnant woman who helps an unsteady on her pins soon to be 80-something year old woman out from the front of the South Stand, we leave early because if we aren't at the steps down to the concourse before or just as the final whistle sounds, some of the "gentlemen" we encounter don't have the most patience and this manifests in pushing and shoving. I also don't have the bladder capacity to sit and twiddle my thumbs in my seat for half an hour while all these gentlemen move off.

Please may we be excused?

Family stand it is then.

Please do keep the diary of BushBlade (aged 48 and three quarters) coming.

We need to know what you have for dinner (sorry, 'lunch'), if you have a crap this afternoon and what time tea is? Also the evening tele and pre bed Horlicks should be covered in some detail.

Sod that... I'll stay where it's civilised thank you very much.

Fox Junior, should she want to, can sit with Daddy Foxy and Grandad silverfox on the chabby stand when the time comes.

 

[Jonboy60]

I like what they do a Celtic where Celtic fans at opposite ends of the ground chant at each other because they often have very few away fans. Lack of away fans is not a valid excuse IMO, its a cop out.

 

[nopigfansintown]

I'm a lanky kopite with mobility problems. I wait 3-5 minutes a the end of the match and clap the players off to avoid getting barged about. Works out well. I imagine around a third of other kop attendees do the same.

You tread a fine line between humorous and mocking. I'm still not sure if you cross it intentionally.

There is nothing I like about celtic

They hate everything English , everything about England and everything British

What? All of them? I don't think so.

I tend to weave about all over the bloody place. I'm a free thinking miserable twat, not constrained by lines.

I didn't particularly intend to mock (on this occasion), so apology if offended.

 

[JJBlade]

I didn't have any opinion about a singing section one way or the other

It's not too long ago that we had a couple of unofficial singing/chanting sections

The problem is certain people wouldn't behave and plod closed it down

The Bayern fans do the same, each end replying to the other, at times it can be defening. That is why I think the BLUT would make a good singing section, both ends of the ground could create quite an atmosphere. I don't buy this they will cause trouble with away fans stuff.

A lanky kopite is a person with sore knees. Stay there long enough and you'll get mobility problems if you don't have them already...

Also in France. I went to see PSG a few years ago, who do the same. 'Allez Paris!'

 

[Bladesway]

Of course, and I'm not sure how my post suggests I don't understand that people of lives outside of United, myself included. Like I said I'm sure some people do have valid reason, it just seems to be a high proportion in my opinion. It clearly matters to you, but I can't imagine that volume of people are bothered about getting home a bit earlier for the sake of missing potentially the most important part of the game.

I said some, I don't know you well enough to know if you are one or not. It is a high proportion. Generally I wouldn't be one but I get it that many people think differently.

Saint Etienne and Marseilles do it best IMHO.

 

[Bert]

Agree about L'OM. Bert went there a few times in the past at the old Velodrome. He saw Cantona, Jean Pierre Papin (scored 4 the day Bert saw him), Waddle (bastard) etc.

Get on a row end, and sit closer to the top than the bottom. Makes things easier.

 

[nicksufc]

People seriously pinning the poor atmosphere on nerves are half the problem. It will only improve if enough people are honest with themselves and admit it's like a library at Bramall Lane, and has been for some time. It's a boring place to watch the match to be quite honest.
