After supporting the Blades since 1967 I’ve decided to make this my last season going to the Lane , I don’t enjoy it anymore we won’t win a major Trophy in my lifetime if we go up we’ll struggle to survive, the Gap is just too big now. Football as changed so much over the years. We scored a goal and some people around me didn’t cheer they just stood there with their phone in hand filming it. Maybe I’m getting old but I’ve fallen out with the Game. And you can’t even get a pint and a pie now unless you’ve got a fucking credit card, anyway I’ll always have memories of Darlington and Leicester to take with me . Cheers.

You’ll always be a Blade. I could never do what you are going to do

Once a Blade (you know the rest)

Think again in the summer. If there really is no enjoyment in watching then fine, but 50+ years indicates something that keeps bringing you back.
I first went in 1958 and still get excited on match days, but am happy to use a card for purchases !
 
I did the same this season. I also wasn't enjoying the matchday experience either. I think it depends on how fit you are for your age. At almost 70 i have found i don't miss going much at all. I got a Firestick and watch all the games anyway . I have seen all the up's and down's since i first went in the early 60s and it's been fantastic but now it's time to hand on the baton to the new Blades on the block, Although if we get to the play-off final i will be there like a shot!

Didn’t millwall play it at the end of the game last week? Not sure if they sing it too or they were trolling us?

Good for an initial burst, but like Tom Hark before it, the gimmick is rinsed and rinsed and rinsed until any enjoyment has long since gone.

Started myself in ,67 as a nipper, they will carry me out in a box utb
 
Must admit its sickening knowing how big of a footballing city we are an we’ve been garbage for years then you see clubs like Leicester and Palace do well and you think eh. All comes down to investment I keep hoping haha. I see your point but things change and evolve. Tried to walk away but it’s too much of a release. UTB.

Crikey, knew we have a reputation for being a miserable lot but this post has raised the bar.
 
My Dad (God rest his soul) used to say that after every single defeat or shite performance...But in the end it was poor health that eventually stopped him going to the lane.

A mate of mine was an Arsenal fan (a proper one - a million miles from the entitled types). But five years ago, he had that sudden realisation that it just wasn’t proper football anymore. He bought a season ticket for his local club (Boreham Wood) and now follows them home away and got his love back for the game.

Having to pay for a pint and a pie with a card is the worst reason for falling out with the game I’ve ever heard.
 
Since 67 is a good run at least you can follow on radio/sutv. I should probably get my arse in gear and start going again.

Hope your kids never get ill if you give up on life so easily
Sorry son it looks bad. See ya
 
I can't say I enjoy the match day experience as much as I use to do, could be that I'm just getting old but today's supporters are just horrible, a growing number have to be pissed up or drugged up to attend and act like knobheads without a thought for anyone but themselves. Just as likely today to get in a fracas with your own supporters as away fans. The insistence of standing up all game in seated areas the obligatory chucking beer about on the concourses flares and smoke bombs make attending away games distasteful and it is creeping in at home games, twice I have seen blokes having to be dragged apart to stop fights this season. I really can't be doing with much more of this shit, and that is without factoring in the cost. The rise in water rates as taken away the rise in my pension without energy bills, petrol, council tax and just the plain cost of food being taken into account. Probably will be my last season with a season ticket too.

I haven't been since lockdown. I think VAR did it for me. Along with sky tv, stupid ticket prices, all seater stadiums etc. i will probably put in an appearance at some point if only to remind myself that it's not what it used to be.

Yes that's another thing the stupid kick off times.

There are many reasons for not going, but only in Sheffield would using a card for a purchase be a problem.

Pretty soon you'll have to stop going everywhere because cash is no longer king, and will be phased out

I think we should be careful saying cash will be phased out. Up until the past ten days, I would have agreed with you, but it seems that Putin is gearing up for a cyber war against the West. If this happens all our cards could be blocked. Then what? the only thing of any value will be gold ingots and cash.
