Our fans

[Bruce Wayne]

Top class. Why some fans try and knock us down is beyond me, been through shit and shitter times in recent years yet 28k rock up every week. We are rock solid, so stop the fuckin we don't sing enough bollocks.

We are the salt of the earth so stop trying to be Galatasaray (who have virtually fuck all fans apart the big games) trust me, ive been to the Camp Nou and Bramall Lane blinds it for vocal support, what the hell is it you want?

Eh......

 

[Keen Blade]

Did you go to Camp Nou on one of those ground-tours on a Monday morning ?

28,000 every week?

Go try Lech Poznan and watch The Ultras go on match day. They are that influential at the club they have their banner draped on their stand 24/7. I've been on the stadium tour also so fact. Different to our BLUT fans which I totally support and hope gathers momentum. BTW - Poznan worth going to for a fun blast.

'Banner? Banner, you say?'. I'm sure SAG would love to get their hands on that! Seriously, apart from teams like Dortmund's 'Yellow wall' which you'll never find in England, chanting is no more. Even back in the 80s until the present time, Liverpool's famous kop was highly orchestrated and needs the DJ to play 'You'll never...' to get them going. They can turn it on when they play Man. U or Everton but - like most of us - games are 'so what?'. They beat Watford 5-0 yesterday and there wasn't a single 'chant'. All you get at nearly every game is a 'Yeeesssss!!!' when a goal is scored.
Nearly 75k at Old Trafford yesterday and the only chants came from the Brighton fans.

12th man.
Sturm Graz make ten times more noise with 8k fans.. some teams have lost before the game kicks off.

We’re some of the quickest fans to criticise yet when the fans get some stick, it’s beyond the pale. Don’t get it.

People are frustrated with the lack of support when the team are putting everything out there and we’ve got one of our own as a manager.

They need to implement safe standing for the back 1/3 or 1/2 of the Kop. It’s not for me but we need to do something.

And couldn’t give a toss about the numbers - crowing about big crowds was already Wednesday’s game. It’s quality not quantity.

I’ve not seen anyone question the numbers we get. But the vocal support isn’t anymore and that’s a fact. Not sure why you’re comparing it to the Nou Camp, a ground with 90,000 tourists taking photos on their iPads. Villa Park, Elland Road, Molineux, Cardiff etc I could go on - all much louder home support than us.

Sadly that's not the only consideration. It's got to get past SAG, which won't happen in Sheffield, even if the league get behind it.

We got 28k (well more like 24k) yesterday freezing their bollocks off then like me and some others, spending nearly 2 hrs trying to get home on the fucking tram. For some reason the fuckwits were terminating tram after tram at Herdings then chucking everyone off at townend to wait for the next one, then the next one. The tram that finally went to Halfway had the heating turned off and it was like sitting in a fucking igloo. You don't get that at the Nou fucking Camp. Top notch our fans.

Ah 10-15 years time, you’d hope the make-up of SAG has changed. Otherwise they are punishing us for someone else’s (naming no names) mistake surely?

The authorities will keep dragging their heels for as long as possible when it comes to standing areas and a general common sense approach, in the hope that if they wait long enough football will have been sanitised to the extent that there's no longer any demand for it. They would absolutely love it to become like going to the theatre.

If by some miracle things ever do change for the better, we'll all be fucking old or dead by then anyway.

They want a full 40 years use out of the all seater stadiums as they are at an absolute minimum.
