As an aside, why Woodhouse, mainly Blade area then & now?
[/QUOTE]
Dunno why i picked Woodhouse really! I think in my minds eye i have always imagined this poor twat as a long suffering Blade wearing the T-Shirt as part of a 'Lads away' holiday / stag do shenanigans...?
Subconciously this is probably how the link came about:
Me: Make jokey reference to some random part of sheffield that is full of Sheff Utd fans who drink too much and do stupid things...
Brain: Woodhouse.
 

Keep seeing a few in Sheffield, especially down near Cherry st, Shoreham St, John St and Bramall Lane, usually every other satdy during the football season, but they can also be seen most days.
 
I had a year in New Zealand after school between 75 & 76. Travelling down the west coast of the South Island, I found a remote camping site to pitch my tent for the night. Soon after I had sorted out my tent, a camper van arrived and parked next to me. It was a young couple on holiday. I discovered, to my amazement, that they were from Bents Green and he was an avid Blade. Quite a few bottles of Dominion Bitter were consumed that night!
 
Me and the missus were in Jerusalem, just off the tourist track when a taxi stopped in the middle of the road, the driver got out having seen me in my Blades shirt and ran across to us shouting "up the Blades". He went on to explain/shout that he supports any team that plays in red and white stripes and the Blades were his favourite English team. By this time the traffic was building up cos he'd blocked the road with his taxi, he turned round and started a full blown argument with the other road users. Our cue to sneak quietly away!
 
Tenerife, Menorca, Lanzarote, Bridlington, Cyprus, Crete, Sharm el Shaik.

It's my brother, he comes on holiday with us.
 
Several years ago, three of us were attempting the weekly pub quiz in the Prince Of Wales, Little India, Singapore. Our team name was 'BBC/Bring Back Ched'.
After our team had been announced, a guy came up to us to say he was a Blade and we remained friends with him for some time during that time.

Sufc v Newcastle FA Cup Semi Final.
Penang, Batu Ferringhi, The Reggae Bar to be precise.
Me and wife donning blades shirts.
Wife. "Why am I wearing this bloody shirt"
Me "Its the law"
Wife " Do you really think there will be any Blades within 50 miles of this place?"
Me "100% guaranteed"
Wife "You're off your fuckin head"

A shadow appears over the Tiger beers and chicken satay.
I look up, a couple wearing blades shirts with the obligatory Tiger beers in hand have arrived.
"Ayup, were from Norton, wiz tha from.
Me "Dronny.......... fuckin told you so love"

With that more beers and off to our hotel (bizarrely The Copthorne), to watch a particularly dull game.
Good night though.
Never saw them again, here or in Penang.

I lived in Penang 2000-01, happy memories of Chulia Street, Batu Ferringhi etc. Never saw any Blades shirts other than my own though.
 
I went for a morning run through Adelaide wearing my runner blades too in January this year. Bloke shouted up the Blades as i went past him.
 
Don't wear any football gear any more. Once getting off the bus in Skiathos 40 degree heat and stood at the stop waiting to get on a bloke around 50 in full kit W****R gear and it was Wednesday kit. Even got long socks on. Scared me for life that did. Dirty bastard.

Tenuous link.
DB brewery formed by a bloke named Coutts.

Minorca last June. Sat having an ice cream with the wife and kids and saw a Blade on the other side of the road.

I stood up, arms aloft and sang “Chrissy Wilder, he’s one of our own!”, to which the lad came over and told me how cheap the beer was in his hotel.

Saw a car with a blades sticker in it in the Seychelles a few years back, the missus' car also had one planted firmly in the rear window.
On the way back from that same trip I watched pigs v Hull in the lounge in Abu Dhabi Airport, realised about 10 minutes in a fellow blade was sat next to me. We get everywhere!

Ah that match when Hull were promoted to the Premiership. I was on holiday in the USA and that evening was at Graceland, looking round Elvis’ story and stuff. I’d promised my wife (it was her birthday) that I’d pay no attention to what was going on at Wembley, phone off. I heard someone say ‘It’s one nowt’ in a recognisable Sheffield twang followed by smiles and clenched fists from some folk nearby. I assumed Wednesday had scored because they are well, massive. So I slinked off and sat under a plastic hamburger. sneaked a look at the phone later and of course it was Hull who’s scored. Could have been Hull fans from Sheffield, more likely Blades. Was it you at Graceland...,Or might it have been Elvis?
 
Recently i've seen Blades in my kitchen. My living room. The bedrooms and garden. Not seen any further afield than that for quite some time
 
Phnom Penh Cambodia .Went in a bar to watch match and three guys sat there with Blades shirts on who came in to watch match.
 
I had a bloke approach me at the Trevi Fountain in Rome in 2001, the day The Lion of Hillsborough was born – I was on a school trip, was wearing the Patrick/Midas home shirt, and had just spent a few Lira to use a pay phone to call my mum and get the result of the derby. The bloke saw the shirt, started a conversation about United, before one of my teachers sensing they might actually be a predatory paedo came and joined the conversation. The bloke promptly disappeared.

Was that anyone on here? Do you remember the incident? Were you actually a predatory paedo, or did you actually want to chat about dem Blades?

Excellent that.
In Brazil I only found a small team called America in a red white striped kit.
 
A few years ago when I was living in Milano, I was on a team and this Chinese bloke got on who was wearing a 'managers coat' with the Chengdu Blades badge on it!
Despite my attempts to communicate with him he didn't seem keen to talk to me ☹️

Here in Leicester, when I cycle to work (before the lockdown), I filter between stationary traffic and occasionally see cars with Blades stickers in the back window. I always feel utterly compelled to tap on the window to get the driver's attention, then give a thumbs-up and shout "UP THE BLADES!". I get a thumbs-up back, a smile and a laugh every time.

'kin cyclists 😆
 
Didn't meet another blade as such but I had a few days in New York back in 2014 and the cab driver from Kennedy to my hotel in Manhattan was quite chatty, asked where I was from and said Sheffield and he came out with "oh Sheffield United".

On that day I think we were in Punta Prima.

I know it well. Snorkelled round there several times and went diving at Salgar. Also been to the water park at Biniancolla a couple of times, actually wore a Blades shirt on one occasion. Small world.
 
We were staying somewhere else but got the bus there for the day so my little one could have a beach day. Great place for families :D

It’s absolutely fucking brilliant for families, feels so safe. No pissed up idiots. Love Menorca for that type of holiday. Ibiza’s good for a ‘lads’ holiday’ but Menorca’s great for family holidays or just chilling. I could happily spend all summer in the Balearics.
