Hi all,
I’m wondering if you can help me with a project I’m thinking of undertaking. I am, amongst other things, a photographer, and I want to combine one passion with another - the Mighty Blades.
Over the coming season I want to do a series of photos about Blades fans’ matchday experiences. It strikes me that every fan, every family has their own experience of going to watch live football - the pre-match routines, the food, the drink, the friends, the characters you meet every game, night matches, day matches, the good, the bad and the ugly; the joy/relief of a win, the depression following a defeat.
I would love to hear your stories of what your matchday routines are and what makes you keep going back to BDTBL (it can’t always be the quality of football on show, let’s be honest). But this routine, these experiences are all part of what makes live sport so much better than watching it on the TV.
I only know my experience, which involves, amongst other things, walking to the ground meeting my Uncle at Munchies (Saturday match) or on London Road (night match), battling the crowds, the odd cheeky flutter. But every fan has a different experience, and that’s what I want to capture.
Not really sure what the end goal of this project is, but at the very least I’ll plan to put the pics I take online for everyone to see. I might approach the club to see if I could take some pics of fans in the ground, but that may be a bit further down the line.
So, in short, do you think this is a good idea? And more importantly, could you let me know your stories? You’re welcome to reply to this thread, or if you’d prefer to email me, I can be contacted at [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
UTB
