Blades in June

[1973Blade]

Have we ever played a competitive (or even non competitive) match in June? Not that I can recall.

June 14th 1947. Jack Pickering makes a return to the team at the age of 38 and scored the winning goal!

10,000 away fans at Bramall Lane must be a record. We have a good record in June then!

Phew! For a minute there I was expecting to see some bird called June getting gangbanged in a hotel in Vegas!

Had a look at that season, and it is not quite as I imagined. Everyone agrees that it was an exceptionally long hard winter, but United played a number of games during that period- 5 in January, 3 in February, 4 in March, 5 in April. United's problem was that 5 of those were Cup matches, but they did not go that long without a game. They in fact played 2 games in June, as they beat Arsenal at home 2-1 on June 7th. Another question which arises is how much the cricket outfield was damaged - the link above to the Stoke match on June 14 says the pitch was muddy.

Blades in May - now that would have been newsworthy.

It reminded me of one of my favourite porn film 'parody' titles, "Indiana Bones in the Temple of June".

Thanks for that. Whatever the outfield was like, it looks like it wasn't a good batting wicket.

So we have a 100% record in June? I'm starting to think summer football would be no bad thing.

This season we could be seeing the rare event of United playing in June.

If the league gets suspended now, we can initiate pre season training mid season. We’ll then be unstoppable post season. Gerrinn.

To the best of my knowledge we have only played a league match at the Lane once on my birthday (May 24th since you ask). Perhaps this year will be an opportunity to celebrate my birthday at a home match - I missed the first one because it was the day I was born. We lost 3-2.

By Gum Silent, seen some missed goal opportunities in my time but to hit the bar when the ball was on the line WOW!!! . Excellent post, Pickering 100% scoring rate, his '36 FACF shirt used to be in the Museum/HofF.

Does June know about this?

It reminded me of one of my favourite porn film 'parody' titles, "Indiana Bones in the Temple of June".

I used to work with a bloke called Jones and we were all sat reciting amusing porn film names. My mate said ‘In Diana Jones and the Temple of Poon’ and Jonesy replied ‘er, my mum’s called Diana’.

We can recover in the winter break

We can recover in the winter break

That'll get cancelled next season, we'll have near enough continuous football from here on in until the end of days.

Is that because, as the saying goes, April May?

 

[BushBlade]

My mate’s neighbour was living with a woman called June who was a good 20 years older than him. We went round one Christmas Eve and after we left, he turned to me and said the classic Only Fools line ‘June? more like November’

So today is our first June match in 73 years?

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

This thread brings me into July. Has a league game ever been played in the month of July?

And the first top flight June match in 73 years not sure on the other leagues though.

A note in the 100 years book for 1947 says that the Government had discouraged mid-week matches due to fuel shortages.
