Bramall Lane Upper Tier For Blades!

[Captain Obvious]

Hi Chaps. I've seen this topic mentioned on other threads but felt like it needed it's own, maybe if a lot of people shout about it the club might listen!?

I won't be going to the game today purely for the fact that I won't pay £25 to have a pole blocking my view of the goal. I don't have kids so can't sit in the John Street Stand and everywhere else is sold out. As soon as they get rid of those poles, they might start to see the kop a lot fuller than it usually is!

I can accept the poles can't be removed overnight on the Kop, but I can't understand why the whole of the Bramall Lane Upper Tier isn't given to us! The lower tier is perfectly adequate to home the numbers the away sides in this league have to offer. They gave a trial run of us having the lower tier...why? The better view is clearly in the upper tier, why give that away to the away side!? Us having the upper tier would also mean no segregation needed between the Westfield corner and the Bramall Lane Upper Tier.

I have no doubt that if we were given the upper tier for these important games, we would fill it...so I urge Utd to stop giving some of the best views in the ground away to the away support and let us have it!

typical brexiter - blaming the poles.

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

I'm with you and I agree with you, but just buy a ticket and get to the game.

 

[Tyler Durden]

It's not sold out.

Seats are available on both wings of the Kop. These areas aren't obstructed by the posts either.

So get thi sen dahn.

 

[Foxy]

I'd hazard a guess segregation, safety advisory and the fact it's easy to run on the pitch from the lower tier are the main reasons.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Still plenty on the Kop without "pole view"

Boom boom

You mean they won't be able to see the dancers?

There's room on the kop, without a restricted view, yet some people aren't going to our biggest game in years because the view could be better?

Hmmm.

 

[ucandomagic]

If we have top tier BL and opposition bottom tier apparently police rather than stewards have to do internal security and costs another £40K.

They could have restricted Scunny to top tier and let us have bottom tier though as they have only sold about 500 on the bottom.

Anyway £25 is cheap for what you will feel for 2 hours today. Seeing the football is a small part of feeling the passion of 26K people wanting the same thing.

You can watch the whole game, stop it and analyse it on Blades Player but that moment when you kiss the bald guy's head will never come again - well maybe not until next week!

Absolutely
And the same people lament over standing at games where you literally couldn't see anything

As I've mentioned on another thread. BL lower was good enough for Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea etc. Why is it not adequate for Scunny and Bolton?
I think BL upper should be a season ticket option at least until the Kop is expanded or improved.

Looking forward to your next excuse for not going. Unrestricted view tickets on sale for the Kop but you are not going. Have you been to a game recently ?

OP should have been on the terrace at brizzle tuesday, now that was a restricted view but its all about being there

Bit of a piss poor excuse to be fair to not bother going to our biggest game in years.
As others have said, plenty of seats available dotted around the ground giving unobstructed views.

 

[snootyfenooty]

For those of you reporting that there are plenty of seats on the kop without a restricted view, they are wrong. About 20% (at a guess) of the seats on the kop have a restricted view, not necessarily of the goal, but somewhere of the pitch. You don't have to sit directly behind a pillar to have your view obstructed. Add to this the general discomfort of sitting for 90 minutes with your knees under your chin and the woeful facilities on the kop and it adds up to a less than ideal Saturday afternoon's entertainment. Bollocks to this "wait until we are in the prem" stuff, the kop needs sorting out now, it's wank. I can see why some have second thoughts about going.

For the record and before the barbs come flying across, I don't have a season ticket but am going today as I do to most games, every season.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Pathetic! If you'd really wanted to go, you would have bought your ticket weeks ago with no problem. To come on here at this late stage and witter on, when there are already moves afoot to get rid of the posts on the Kop and create more seats. Your very first post. NGE

 

[Bert]

A tip from Bert.

Buy your tickets NOW for the Bolton game.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Was your last game Wigan at home in 2007 by any chance?

 

[TBW57]

I refuse to go to another game till the ground has been completely demolished and rebuilt in the Art Deco style. And I want a three course dinner served to me, in my seat, by a waiter wearing a dicky bow.

And unless we win by at least three goals I want my money back as well.

Get a ticket for the kop and stand at the back?

 

[COME BACK CHED]

You could enjoy doing the Pozman all match . with the odd swinging a pig song .

Hmmm.

Even if it was sold out now, tickets have been available for some time.

 

[Bridge Blade]

I'm the same I always leave it til the last minute so we can't complain at where we end up sitting. Recently we've been on the bramall lane lower but we've been ousted today.
Even worse I don't have a season ticket but have been to all home games bar Oxford!

 

[Ricky]

What a piss weak excuse not to go to the game, just get a ticket and go and stand in the middle at the back.

But what we do with the Bramall Lane end really needs looking at, short term and long term, because currently we're wasting it. The upper tier is arguably the best view in the stadium and it's about time our fans got to use it. The club should commit to using it, allow season ticket sales there and watch it fill up. Hopefully it would provide another focal point for our support too.

Short term the very least they need to do is not give both tiers to the away team. They've underestimated four big attendances now, there's no excuse for doing it again.

Then the segregation needs addressing logically as well, although I know that will be difficult with the retards at SYP.

They also need to review the policy for buying tickets in the family stand.

Front of the Kop is ok, that's where the spaces will be and view is not great at ground level, but not restricted. It certainly wouldn't put me off, sat there a few times.

 

[Ricky]

A further suggestion from me for the upper tier is that the club make it known that a certain area will be set aside for those who want to create an atmosphere. Ideally this would be at least the back 10-15 rows across the two central blocks behind the goal. It's important to start it from the back because that enables (whisper it) standing and singing generally only happens when standing.

If season tickets were sold there then every seat is available and it's a fresh start. The first season of ST sales there could be the only chance to organise something like this. It would be a significant opportunity to establish another area of vocal support and we should take it. This would also lead to more fans wanting to be up there.

I think we need to make ourselves heard about this because the club will already be in the process of deciding what to do with season tickets for next season.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

I'd hazard a guess segregation, safety advisory and the fact it's easy to run on the pitch from the lower tier are the main reasons.

It is a criminal offence and has been since 1991.

If police and stewards don't want to enforce it, then whats the point in having the rule n the first place.

Simple solution: ban people who come on, from grounds for 12 months initially - and increase as needed. It isn't rocket science.
