Blades and Rochdale current table positions

[Basing Blade]

Same points, same goal difference, same goals for, same goals against.
What puts them above us? Is it head to head? We beat them 3-2 at home. They beat us 2-0 there.
Good job this is not what keeps us out of the play offs. 1 goal head to head.

 

[Trafford]

The alphabet (seriously). It wouldn't if it mattered though.

With respect to Rochdale fans, it's a sad day when we are identically matched with Rochdale!

In the unlikely event that they get promoted through the play-offs, would that be the first time they would be in the the second tier of the league?

Head to head

Yes it would. They were famously in League Two for 36 years between 1974 and 2010.

Don't they also hold some record of having had to apply for re-election in the good old days before automatic promotion/relegation from the conference?

And this is what we are having to compare ourselves against! Haha - in truth, many clubs have had periods of relative high achievement, such as Northampton who famously climbed all the leagues to the top and were relegated to the bottom in almost successive seasons in the 60's, and of course Bournemouth are enjoying theirs now.

They did reach the League Cup Final in 1962, something we've never done.

Bloody hell and we thought we have things bad.

we could change our name to Atletico Sheffield

we could change our name to Atletico Sheffield

If we're going to do it, we may as well go the whole hog and change to Aardvark Sheffield United FC (just in case we come up against AFC Bournemouth or AFC Wimbledon in a similar situation).
