Blades Clubcall

[1973Blade]

I've just seen this from an old programme from 1994. To be kept up to date with events at United at the cost of 49p per minute peak rate! Did anyone actually ever call this number?!

So that's how we could afford to sign Brewster, from your phone bill!

Once I saw an ad saying that we had signed a new player. With me being deaf, I asked my mum if she would mind calling club call to find out who we had signed. She said ok and dialled the number. She was saying "they are talking about youth matches and other things" I asked her to just find out who we had signed, that's all! Eventually came the news of who we had signed but my mum couldnt catch the name so she had to listen to all again. And then when the name came again she said "some thing like Chris Kam-ana". Then I realised that we had signed Chris Kamara for the 2nd time. The phone call was more than the fee for him! What an anti climax!

“Let me hold you, for the first time…”

It wasn’t that , but it wasn’t much better

 

[Ozblade]

I remember calling this number all the time! Takes me back to the days of checking scores on Ceefax, and buying a 2 day old newspaper on a Spanish holiday to find out if we’d won

 

[Ozblade]

I remember my Mum seeing the phone bill and thinking I was calling premium rate sex lines…almost wish it was true because the truth was much much sadder

I once dialled clubcall after a night on the piss and fell asleep as it took an age to get around to the news I wanted to hear.... To be fair to my step dad he kept very calm when the bill arrived and phoned the club/BT (can't remember exactly who), explained his stepson couldn't handle his ale and got most of the cost cancelled...

"Hello, welcome to the Bladesline, bringing you all the latest news from Bramall Lane 24 hours a day..."

It was even more expensive from a payphone. In Spring 1990 I was on a student night out in Birmingham and phoned Clubcall from a payhone to find out the result of our vital promotion clash at Oldham. Cost me an absolute fortune as a student but news of our 2-0 victory certainly put a spring in my step for the evening!

I used to be desperately ringing it from a Leeds phone box many a night in 1988 to get news of our scores.
I recall a bloke looking quite sheepish as I rolled up, @nd a copy of The Sunday Sport with 1000s of porn message lines lay open as he fled. Me, my fix was Brian Deane and Tony Agana, bibbledy babbledy boo..

You could listen to entire match commentaries. I used to listen in from Australia for one season in the 90s. They're probably still chasing that phone bill, it must have been in the thousands

 

[Canterbury Blade]

Only when calling from work or when trying to mask calls to other ‘pay calls’. Look love it’s a United call line, just bloody ring it, here..

Ps- didn't work. Our lass is a lot wiser than she looks..

Yeah used to ring it all the time

 

[BladesOnToast]

Got the digits mixed up and accidentally dialled 0898 18 8650, and sat through half an hour of Ian Bryson "talking dirty". Sponsored by Arnold Laver, to help you get wood.....

 

[YorkBlade]

I am ashamed to admit I used to call this number quite often.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Back in’t day I used to have a wank to loads of 0891 numbers.... especially to my 1st love dem blades

I did.

And about 2 weeks later I got right f****g good hiding!

 

[Varkanoid]

I called it but this woman get going on about swinging her tassels ?

 

[Blade56]

I just tried it, voice said we are in talks with Nigel Adkins and McCabe is chasing him to London for his signature. Can this number turn back time?

Yes !! I vividly remember being on a school trip and on the day the fixtures came out I was sat next to a pig on the coach and being 14/15 were arguing about who’s the better club. It was decided there and then that at 10:30am or whatever time they were released we’d both phone our club call numbers to find out…. United answered first and we were declared the best team in Sheffield… pigs didn’t stand a chance of answering first though as my mate didn’t have a mobile phone !!

 

[Geordie Blade]

From our school pay phone, you could ring any number for free. You could hear the other line, but they couldn't hear you until you put money in. There would often be a crowd of people huddled round listening to the latest news from us or the pigs.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Not that number, but we rang something called the Bladesline in a Tuesday night in September 1985 from a bar in Biarritz, to find out our score at Fulham. No mobiles or internet in those days. Won 3-2, with Bladesline announcing the scorers as 'Foley, Cockerill and Foley'

That was the good looking one in club shop.

I did, got a clip off my old man when the bill came in. Not quite as exciting as the naughty nurse line either!
