Bramall Lane roof

[Snowflake]

The stand has been mostly empty for years, even when it was open. we've had some good away followings this year which have masked how much the attendance has dropped off from 2024.

It hasn’t been “mostly empty” since 2024. It hasn’t been full but it has had a significant number up there for many matches.

The Bramall Lane roof could be a metaphor for the city of Sheffield itself. Has great difficulty starting projects, takes far too long on said projects and ultimately struggles to complete projects…Both in organisation and financing

Tingo construction services at your disposal. All aspects covered from surveys to design and build, all to the highest Nigerian safety standards.
Realise your dream now! with Tingo construction.

I worked with a Nigerian company years ago and their company slogan was ‘we specialise in everything’ .. well I thought it was funny.

I don’t get what the drama is over this. Bettis has clearly stated the hold up isn’t because we can’t afford to repair it but because of the amount of work needed.

The issue was highlighted because it was flagged up during routine safety checks. We immediately set in processes to sort it, only to find the problem was bigger than first thought.

It’s not like down the road where issues were ignored and they relied on dodgy decisions by the safety advisory board, kicking the can down the road for years.

Old Alan over there reckons its as bad as there's but we just covered it up with cladding so no one could see it

Least it's not a tarp you piggy twat.

And if that's even remotely correct, then we've at least done the right thing, unlike them. Who tried to fix it with cable ties

Sorry, was that meant at me. Think you got it wrong this time

Perhaps we could add a bike lane on there as well

Because it's an opportunity to kick the club / Bettis , without any actual facts to back it up.

Covering it up is a stretch, it was all replaced. Kind of like changing your underpants Alan; rather than turning them inside out and back-to-front.

For the Lincoln game, we were sat in the Corner Stand, last seats before the closed main part, but we were in line with the penalty area, so well along the original BLUT stand and couldn’t help wondering why we were safe but anybody further in might not be.

Interesting on attendances. Obviously our crowds will also depend on the away following too in terms of fluctuation.
And of course season tickets are always counted.

But so far this season our average is 26,668. Which by our standards in the past 8-9 years is on the lower side of our averages.
It could if we end up doing better than we think go up a bit or if we do worse go down a bit too.

All the while SWFC are getting 30k plus every week. Which is remarkable in the 3rd tier. (Sort of).

And whilst they are giving it large about how we aren't "well supported". Our current average as it stands would only be bettered by them in twice in the past 28 years.
One of those was when they finished 4th in the championship when Chansiri was considered the saviour.
And the other time was 3 seasons ago when Rohl eventually came in and they were on a journey with him.
Both of which were not much higher by much at all.

It often gets forgotten that whilst "you've had 26 years" to be better than us. As often quoted by owls. They forget that for 5 seasons they were a league above us too...

They haven't averaged more than us since 16/17, when we were in League One and they were in the Championship.

I've often seen them saying that they average more than us when we're in the same league, but that's clearly not true: the last 4 seasons we've been in the same league (25/26, 24/25, 17/18 and 18/19) we've averaged more than them.

I expect this season to be a bit of an outlier for them, and if they don't get promoted then crowds will dip back down to their usual 23/24k that they tend to get outside of exceptional circumstances.

I wouldn't like to turn Alan the Cunt inside out or back to front.
