Every home game should be a sell-out

[Shalalalafenoughty]

We should be selling out every week.

Second half today: crisp autumn afternoon, United come out fighting second half, baying Kop scents blood, everyone on the front foot, striker on fire, crowd sucking the ball in. It's everything you could want from a game of football.

Any Unitedite at the present time who thinks about coming to the Lane but doesn't - what's stopping you?

 

[BladeInBC]

For me, several thousand miles unfortunately.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

It’s over a thousand miles away.

I didn't go today because I'm ill. Watched the stream in my pants and not sure if I was covered in sweat from the illness or out of shock that Leon got four

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

To be clear, I'm not criticising anyone who lives well away from Sheffield...

Hope the "stream in your pants" was worth watching. Why on earth didn't you watch the game online ?

Commiserations, anyhow. We were ace.

3,000 miles. Sorry

Illness is no excuse... we want a view from tonight... chop chop...

Awful choice of words from me. I watched online but it was about 10 minutes behind. Managed to avoid everything apart from the equaliser when my mate text me "LEOOOOONNNNN" as I was watching Edna Stevens shoot over.

 

[MightyBlades]

Had to work until 4pm today, but watching match updates on my phone.

Love the Blades and was willing United on even though I wasn't at the Lane.

This is a long slow process. The dark directionless years did suck the willpower out of many Blades, but now even they are starting to realize that the club is on the march again and are beginning to find a new enthusiasm for match days.

Our crowds are starting to edge up very quickly. Keep this up and they will be sellouts by the end of January.

I'll definitely have it done at some point. I've got the whole international break after all

 

[borg elite]

27.5k. What on earth is wrong with that? We've come a long way. I seem to remember we averaged around 19k in our 05/06 promotion season.

Doesn't happen often. Get well soon !

 

[northsomersetblade]

196 miles.....I did get to the night game against Wolves and back if that helps

 

[Fanny magnet]

Best crowds we've ever had in this division

 

[Tyler Durden]

How many teams are packing their ground to capacity in this division?

Watching in your bed, four second half Blades’ goals?

No need to explain why you’re all hot and sweaty fella.

Hopefully you had enough tissue.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Damn right.

When we were at this level 18 years ago, crowds of 10-12k were common.
In fact the average for 1999/00 was 13k.

 

[bladesmanluke]

11,500 miles. I have a season ticket though and hope to be back by Christmas

I respect and enjoy your 'view from' posts and I hope you feel better very soon but was it absolutely necessary to mention 'sweating in you pants' shouting Leon's name......is this a general Blades chat comment or some kinky pastime of our 'Weird One'......I know I find it quite disturbing.

Agreed. At the very least, a career in Parliament awaits.
