Blade or piggy area?

[Linz]

Where did you spend your formative years?

The attached image claims to map the support in each area of Sheffield.

I spent the first two years of my life in Frecheville before moving to Norton Lees... so I guess these would be covered by Mosborough and Graves Park... both Blades areas according to the map.

Do you maybe dispute any of the areas?

I've lived within 2 minutes walking distance from bramall lane all my life

a blades area if ever there was one

 

[S64 Blade]

Round where i live its mainly Blades fans(out of the real football fans).

 

[dingledog]

Grew up in High Green and Chapeltown, predominantly people followed some other team, those in the know and born lucky becam Blades

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

According to that Woodhouse is both, but seemed to be prominently Blades when I grew up there

 

[mrteabag]

born in upperthorpe was mainly piggy fans then but where i am now in the upperclass area aka arbourthorne there all blades

 

[rotherhamblade]

mainly pigs round here but people are seeing the light now.

linz it shows frechville on the map

mines gleadless... not gleadless valley!
so that would be the nearest thing.

noticed theres no significant blade areas.

id say arbourthorn is blade area not shared

Bit irrelevant for me really as I'm not a Sheffielder, but Tadcaster has primarily been a Leeds fan zone. There are now less and less people walking around in Leeds shirts in Tad these days.

Was born and raised in Crookes for 8 years, my close family lived there who supported the Blades although all my school mates were piggies. Moved to Stannington where even though it is pigs dominated (we do have a pig farm not far away from the village) there are plenty of Blades hat have lived here for along time.

I was looking at the key to find it not the pointy bits!

 

[Bladesman]

Mainly a Blades area round here in S11.

 

[Pedders]

According to that Woodhouse is both, but seemed to be prominently Blades when I grew up there

Still the same Andy

I only know of a few pigs in Lowedges/Batemoor/Jordanthorpe - I wouldn't even go as far as "significant" lol

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Eckington seems to be a piggy area, but my dads side of the family being all blades did help my decision, as well as being a junior blade at 1 day old

 

[Come from away]

I guess Dronfield is just a no-go zone, only Sheffield F.C.

 

[happyhippy]

Fuck me, I'm not sure how near Crystal Palace would fit in ........ Division 4 wasn't fun, even Brentford were 2 divisions above us .......

 

[RichJay]

I grew up in S26 which isn't on the map. I'd say that there is an even split between blades and piggies there.

 

[Warnock=God]

I lived in Crooks for the first 6 years of my life, but it was probably from either my Grandad, Godfather or Uncle that I became a Blade.

.

i was havin a long old conversation about this yesterday and how the south of sheffield is far classier than our northern counterparts when i say classier i dont mean rich/poor were just cleaner and greener its a bit like comparin west street and fargate to castle markets

 

[Robbie]

Looks like I've always been in Blades area's except for the short time I lived at grenoside

 

[TonyAgana]

Lived in Oughtibridge all my childhood and now Chapeltown. Bit of a black sheep I reckon. There were only 3 Blades at our primary school. My Mum still works there and she says it's more like 30/70 Blades/Owls nowadays.

 

[Tinoblade]

Dont really know what sort of area mine is but ill go for wednesday there seems to be many more around here than united

 

[cyp-blade]

Was Born on East Bank Road, overlooking WDTBL. Spent my formative years in Greenhill Village, mainly Blades with the usual smatering of piggies.



Castle Market is that still standing ??????

 

[shorehamview]

I spent the first five years of my life in Walkley, but there was never any chance of being anything other than a Blade. All the football supporters on my Mum's side were Blades, and my Dad's side were either not bothered about football, or too far flung round the country to have any influence.
From being five onwards I lived in S11, but if I'd lived on Mars I'd still have been a Blade.

 

[silverfox]

I was born on Albert Road just behind the Red Lion and lived in the early years where I live now near Graves Park.

I did have an excursion down T'Cliffe and then Arbourthorne and Manor.

Most mainly Blades areas apart from the Cliffe.

handsworth thats all blades really
