Football Heaven

[diplomat]

The current capacity is 33,400 but they’ve rarely had over 30,000 unless there’s 4 or 5,000 away fans in the ground.

I do find it a bit weird how insecure the SW fan base are.
It’s so important for them to feel big and be liked. They gush at receiving compliments by opposition fans of big clubs. When in league 1 they had this weird habit of belittling small clubs and for some reason slagging off their fan base, joking about how they brought a mini bus full to Hillsborough.

I never hear any Blades slag off away numbers on the lower tier at the Lane because it’s not important. We get over 30K and no Blades are interested because it’s quite normal. When SW get over 30K they’ll chat about it, telling each other it would have been 40K or 50K if the ground was bigger.

They also talk about how they’ve suffered for the last 25 years, yet don’t realise Blades have suffered for 100 years since our last silverware.

We are the biggest club in Europe to have never been in a post war cup final and also never played in Europe.
We’ve also on an incredible run of failing to win our last 18 consecutive play-off finals and FA cup, league cup semi finals.
Our big match record is so bad I know a few who have decided to miss Wembley matches, tried it twice myself thinking I might be the jinx, Huddersfield and Man City.

Compare this to Wednesday who have won a few play-off finals with late winning goals and played in cup finals.

Blimey I didn’t realise we were up to 18! I too missed Huddersfield thinking I was a bit of a jinx but enjoyed being home after about eight pints and a 15 minute walk from champs rather than being on a bus for many hours with sunburn and £100 plus down

But they cannot even fill the rust bucket

Not allowed

Be careful what you wish for, he might go bust or sell and someone competent comes in, rebuilds ground and gets into autos before May 2025

[The Crab]

[JOEYDEE]

Clubs of Wendy’s fabled magnitude, generally have large waiting lists for season tickets. But seeing as they don’t sell out a reduced capacity Swillsborough anyway….it’s all a load of baloney

 

[ancientblade]

theyve just got more part part time fans than us that only ever turn up for wembley play offs or vital last games of the season yes weve had a couple of dissapointing wembley attendance figures but they forget we took 40k to play off final with burnley in 2009

Apparently, at last nights fans forum when asked how much he would sell the club for, bearing in mind that United had just sold for £100 million, he replied with "but we are bigger than them"!

It's institutional !!

utb

He’ll be forgetting that’s for the club, the ground, the hotel and two training grounds another year of parachute payments. Them lot as a club based on that are worth about £30m and I’m being generous

 

[Wilderat Heart]

Actually I think he said "but you told me we were bigger than them," which I think is even funnier.

 

[Le Cynique]

Better name was praise or grumble., or perhaps grumble or grumble!

I thought P&G was post-match and FH was a general phone-in?

Didn't he say that it's not his responsibility to find a potential buyer, who's responsibility is it then?

I bet he received a 5 minute standing ovation for that comment follow by the singing of the Thai national anthem and then some bouncing

No didn’t say that, what he said was this

Fan says “Sheffield United sold for around £100m - with better facilities, parachute payments and so on. DC says fans claim Wednesday bigger, now say smaller. Says clubs are different”

Well they did heat Hartlepool and 10 man Barnsley after extra time

Hartlepool had ten men as well.

General Blades Chat? 90% of the posts on this chat are about the other lot

I think the Wendy chairman is doing a great job at the Rustbucket. He is more deluded than the average Wendyite. Long may it continue.

Fair enough.

I read the 'quote' directly from the PorkTalk message board so it's probably just them putting their own usual delusional slant on everything he says.

They want putting in an institute

 

[Gyp the blade]

Good news then. If he genuinely believes that (and being mad as a march hare he probably does) then he ain't going to sell then for anything less than probably £150m. Bearing in mind the total mess financially that they are in, then he won't be selling anytime soon and he can continue to give them the death by a thousand cuts. Slow and painful. I am very fond of that man, it has to be said. Very fond indeed.

IMO the man is a legend and is a true resemblance to all the delusional pork fans out there. How can you not love what comes from his mouth? Ask by a fan a recent fans forum how much he would sell the club for bearing SUFC have just sold for £100m. His answer £150m because we are bigger and better than them I could listen to him talk for hours although I’d have to Chinese
