Boost our attendances.....welcome the Roma.

[derfblade.3]

Around 6,000 Roma have now arrived in Fir Vale. What about giving them free tickets for 1 game to get them to the lane. There are loads wearing football tops of their favorite clubs back home, so as they are here to stay why not try to get them on board

Great idea, would like to see them integrate a bit more with locals. They are welcome at the lane...but not when it means some of us struggle for wembley tickets etc. Generally speaking, get them in the lane, they will probably come back....in turn their kids will be blades.Then one day we might emulate wendys massive 2.4 million fan base.

6000. Is that all?
I'm sure I saw more than that on just one street corner last week.

 

[Ndlovu Blade]

Knew i was missing out on something

Was curious why 6000 Roma fans were in Sheffield

 

[Kenilworth]

Had to double check this wasn't a post from Roberto

And once we've achieved that stupendous feat, we could then get them to sell 'Blades' branded clothes pegs, think of the opportunities to bond with the travelling community.

Never give anything away, it isn't valued by the recipient and they always expect the same in future.

Prefer Roma to Lazio. Verona are my favouriteItalian side though. Anyone else?

I used to like Fabrizio Ravioli when he played for Boro.

 

[Ndlovu Blade]

[west_yorks_blade]

I bet the Roma would provide really great travelling support.

I'd have thought the coaches would be a bit slow going down the M1?

Used to like them, nice city too.

Stopped when I found out that they're hardline fascists on a par with Lazio.

Always had a soft spot for Bologna as it's a nice city and was my first experience of a McDonalds that also served Beer

Some seriously nice restaurants there though.

Livorno are the club for you.

I've thought about that for a while, but it's still whooshing.....

Nicknamed Triglia - The Mullets

I'm glad we're called the Blades sometimes.

We could create a special corner and keep them in there with the Fat Family...

 

[BLADES1988]

I always look out for a Serie D Side Poggibonsi, a chance encounter on an acca I had on Bet365 moons ago being the reason.

For some reason I always cheer on -

Poggibonsi
Ebbsfleet
Annan Athletic
And of course the Highland League's finest Fort William!!

I was seduced by the Fiorentina side of the 90s. Rui Costa pulling the strings and Batistuta the exquisite executioner up front. I don't think they actually won owt but they were a joy to watch.

Nowadays I follow AC Milan mainly because one of my mates out there is a massive Milanista. In turn he now follows the Blades as well. His admiration for the devotion of our support knows no bounds. Serie C sides over there often play in front of 3 figure crowds. They are consistently astonished that we average 20k, especially in our 6th season.

When we stood up to a man and applauded the team home after Hull's 5th at Wembley, apparently the Italian commentary team spent more time saluting our support than talking about Hull, the actual winners of the game.

That the Italian for 'Blades' is 'Lame' gives us a chuckle, descriptive as it is of our last few seasons.....Forza Lame!!!!!

Correct

Got a soft spot for Genoa too.

Can't see this one ending well, if I'm honest....

They have a nice corner at the theatre of rust. All they'd need to do is take along with them is a copy of their std results to claim a free match ticket.
