Blades training at Bramall Lane

[LBA_Blade]

Not a new article, happening on Monday morning, anyone going to this?

"
Have you ever wanted to watch the Blades train and see what goes on behind closed doors?
Well on the morning of Monday 27th July, Bramall Lane will host an open training session to allow supporters free entry to watch Chris Wilder, and his coaching staff put the players through their paces.
Before the players emerge from the tunnel for a prompt 10.30am start, there will be some activities taking place in front of the stand, for the whole family to enjoy.

Food kiosks will be open to give fans the opportunity to purchase hot and cold snacks and refreshments, whilst there will also be some merchandise giveaways.


Following the open training, and before leaving the pitch, the players will make themselves available to sign some autographs and have photos with supporters at the front of the John St stand, before the squad return to Shirecliffe for the afternoon session of that day.


All fans are welcome and will be seated in the John Street family stand, with turnstiles opening at 9.30am.

Wait? What? We train.

That opens up so many questions!

 

[Davalon]

Sounds boring

 

[BerksBlade]

I presume Southampton will be sending someone?

Sounds boring

Training and meet and greet with kids. Used to do this every year. Easy way to get kids down to the club shop and mummy and daddy buy them a shirt.

I've been many times. Took penalties against Paul Tomlinson as a kid. Took my own lad when he was young and had him sat on a table with Del Geary and Gary Speed signing his shirt.

Watching the current mob train still sounds boring to me, however.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Could lead to injuries. Players should just be bubble wrapped between matches.

So did I. Tomlinson playfully let one in (I was about 6). Keith Waugh saved the lot the shit.

I’m taking the grandson to this next week. Should be an interesting watch & get a few photos & autographs for him.
It also passes a day in the school holidays & I think it’s a great idea.

I have a feeling a signing or two may be revealed at this today

I saw an advert out for a new grounds person, would be great to get some wider reveals.

"and this is Lila, she will be serving your pies in John Street stand"

 

[GodricBlade]

Well, that was all smashing for the kids. A few giveaways & chance to meet the players and get some photos & autographs.
Gentle training session for the players but good to hear from a few of them and some of the coaching staff on the microphone.
Passed a morning anyway & well done Utd for putting it on.
Took 3000 to a training session!

Grbic and RND alive then?

 

[GodricBlade]

Grbic and RND alive then?

RND was definitely alive.
As for Grbic, I didn’t notice him. To be honest, I’d forgotten all about him!

 

[FTPE]

Great morning!! I really enjoyed that.
My daughter only wanted to meet the handsome players (Coops and Cal) but we had a great time.

Grbic is on a bit of social footage I saw, along with Shackleton.

He was in the group in front of the kop holding up a Blundells for sale sign.

Needless to say, he dropped it a couple of times.

Joking aside, well done United for arranging an enjoyable morning.

Bet she was gutted then when Ribery didn't sign for us a few seasons back

I can imagine your lad and Del Geary sitting on a table, both with legs swinging above the floor. Whose legs were the longest?

Have I missed it?

 

[FTPE]

I cant remember seeing the trialing lad, was here there??

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Hope there weren't any kids with signs up saying Chongy can i have your training top

I've got a photo somewhere from the time.

When my lad was young people called him Delboy when he wore a United shirt and we told him. He's still got Del's signature on it in his wardrobe.

My missus had a chat with Del in the JSS last season and reminded him. He said, 'I bet he's taller than me now'

 

[Weasel]

Del Geary does come across as a really nice, decent fella. Also really impresses onto the younger players at the club the meaning of the red and white shirt and the importance of putting in maximum effort. Though ive never met him, I like the cut of Mr Geary's jib.

Eckhardt was dressed as a seat

He used to be a neighbour, and I can confirm he is an absolute diamond of a person.

When I worked in Ireland, within the first hour I was told you would only ever meet two types of Irish people. Those from Dublin and the rest.
