As mentioned some weeks previously I won 2 tickets to BDTBL in a charity auction. We opted to come over this weekend and watch Blades V Swindon. I was joined by my mate and brother, and our respective wives. We live just north of Stamford, so I haven’t seen the Blades live for about 7 years.
We decided to stay at the Copthorne and have a meal at a nice restaurant owned by a friend over Beauchief way. Hotel was very nice although we did have an issue with lunch as my mate suffers from gluten intolerance. We sat in the Westfield stand as recommended by some of you. We had a great view. My friend who is Scottish and supports Glasgow Rangers was very impressed with the hotel and football stadium. I did get pulled by a steward far taking pictures and videos during the match, apparently it’s not allowed. That said the game was brilliant. At the end of the match we took some photos and went back to the hotel. I was delighted to find out that Scunny and Wednesday had lost.
Got changed and got in the lift to go and get our taxi. Once in the lift a voice asked us if we were going partying tonight. I replied “my Partying days are over” and looked up to see a beaming Kevin McCabe. “All right Boss” I said, “didn’t realise it was you” and shook his hand.
“Great game today” I said
He replied “Yes after first 5 mins”
As we were leaving the lift I said “Whatever some people say, I think you are doing a great job”
“I try my best” he replied.
Great guy, great team, great weekend.
Thank You Sheffield United.
Onwards upwards!
