[POLL] Average age of Blades on ere??

[TJB.]

25, 26 in May.

12th birthday was the same night as the play-off semi against Forest. I'd been to the odd game as a kid but I was never really bothered. Watched that game on telly and I was hooked.

Anyone worked out the average yet?

Should BOSS ever flounce it will go down by about 5 years!

It keeps changing.

As I said earlier, the younger ones are only just getting out of bed managing to snatch five minutes from their vital studies/jobs to log on and vote

The lack of over 65's on that list is worrying..........

 

[Bladesthorpe]

70

It's been a hard life...



But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe you.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Old enough to know better, young enough to carry on for a good while yet.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

The Bladesmad average is about 75 these days.

Is that your way of saying there's only Rod Currie left on there nowadays?

It's like a Blades version of Logan's Run (ask yer Dad's young 'uns). Once you hit 65, Mcabe comes and eliminates you

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

66 years young

 

[Small Mendonca]

21 but became a member of this place when I was 15.

For any weirdos out there, I'm 147 in dog years and 105 in fish years.

 

[Danny_Boy]

35 and I feel it.

I see the poll is balancing out now. I'm with the "getting their sorry arses out of bed" opinion's side.

 

[BigBed]

Yeah, but we're talking age not how many members!

When I need to fill in my date of birth on the computer I sometimes wonder if I will be able to scroll back that far but I now qualify for a free TV licence

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Just waiting to see the windowless transit van with the tear stained mattress in the back.

I'm pretty sure those aren't tear stains mate...

54 last month. Shit - it only seems like a couple of years ago I was watching Wayne Quinn and a few years before that Ted Helmsley and Trevor Hockey!

Do they still do that Masters football 5 a side thing? I remember seeing that a few years ago, and remembering the "veterans" as young players.

Hi, my first post on here although I've been following the various forums for the last 6 or so years. I have supported the Blades since I was 8 or 9 for the last 55 years. You can probably guess my age from that! On a slightly different topic I'm sure some of the older members will remember with affection the formation of old Social Club in the Cricket Pavilion before the South Stand was built. I spent many happy hours in the Bier Kellar drinking (was it Watneys beer?) and socialising with fellow Blades, be good to hear from any that remember those days!

A very warm welcome to you

Clearly in the category referred to as mature. Perhaps not vintage but been around enough to have watched Keith Eddy, Sabella, the great Senor Currie, the always impressive Alan Woodward, the little genius known as Colin Morris, Peter Withe, the filthy but necessary Hockey, the oh so poor Vinnie Jones, and a succession of players who saw this club as the final chance to take a decent wage. We've also had managers who were clearly ill-equipped to recruit the quality of player that could bring us relative success. To become a Premiership team and earn the right to remain there would be some achievement, well a chap can dream?

I think Unitedites love to see a team that knows how to play and does so whenever possible. We currently have a managerial team who appear more than capable, who have recruited players (with a few exceptions) who are comfortable on the ball, and can produce the football we all love to watch. Of course it's work in progress, but we've done well so far this season, and with our pursuit of promotion we've played some great football at times. One of the best seasons I can recall for many a year, long may it continue, UTB!

There are 10 types of people on this forum. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
I'm 110100 years of age

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

I didn't realise this was an OAP's forum. Wondered what that disclosure was at the registration page

29 years of age, been a blade since before I can remember. Think my first game was when I was roughly 4 or 5. Don't really remember our first premier league season... unfortunately remember all of our second attempt & can remember more relegations than promotions (which will hopefully soon change!).

UTB
