Au revoir everybody as Del-Boy would say.
Halifax born and bred, relocated to the poodle stronghold of Brighouse, home of the famous Brighouse & Rastrick band and...............
Anyway, I'll come clean now and admit my first love is FC Halifax Town so I don't claim to be a passionate Sheffielder, but I have supported the Blades for over 20 years home and away when the fixture list allows it. I vaguely remember United visiting the Shay in the early 80's but I cling to the notion that our paths will never cross again so I needn't worry about who I'd support.
Why United ? Well, as Bradford Blade explained in his post, any self-respecting Halifax fan wouldn't entertain the idea of supporting a West Yorkshire rival, particularly the Poodles from the Gandalf stadium, still living off Herbert Chapman's glories and are well on a par with the pigs in terms of being deluded about being a 'big' club.
Started following United around about the the time Wendy were getting promoted from Division 2 and winning some irrelevant cup. Had a few mates at school who went to Swillsboro at this time and always asked me to come along. Call it a sixth sense or whatever but I just didn't like them and always preferred the Blades, they just seemed more, I dunno - real, less bullsh!t and I liked Harry Bassett and from then I was hooked.
Even now the Pig fans I know up here are getting cocky, I reminded them the league table says we are 2nd.
Keep the faith Unitedites, see you at County tomorrow night
