Cheers Roy.

I have never liked Sheff Utd (always preferred Wednesday) but I agree with you that they are a proper football club (whatever that means), with passionate local supporters.”

“The Sheffield United forum is almost a mirror image of this.
Lots of ‘winnable’ comments as the main positives above it simply being a boring draw.
Both sides deserve chucking out of the tournament for the fans being ungrateful bastards.
Both are good proper football teams, and whichever progresses to the next round will probably be deserving of the honour."

I feel like I've been told off.

Sensible comments, tending to reinforce my opinion that PNE fans are basically ok, but all fatally undermined by that rogue 'h' right at the end.

 

[Minty]

Thanks Roygbiv

Mainly sensible comments. Not sure why one of them thinks we are remotely similar (or identical I think he said) in terms of fan base!! At least someone put him right straight away.

We both have black and white in our kits.

We are both old Northern teams

We both have the letters 'e' and 's' in the first bit of our names.

Pretty difficult to tell us apart when you think about it!

I once read an MK Dons fan (how ever that is possible I don't know) claim they were as big as us in terms of support and crowd. One of the few times I've been driven to arguing with someone on Twitter.

I think the main similarity between us and Preston is that there aren't many people alive who can remember the clubs winning owt. But both used to be decent.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Oh Roymond, dear Roymand, thou hast stolen mine heart.
Keep up the good work chap and, as ever, thanks mate.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Our stewards got a worse rap than we did!

Cheers Roy.

 

[Northyorksblade]

They are right about the stewards though.

Zero tolerance on rogue Hs. This is war.

Isn't the main similarity between us that we are both absolutely shit at play-offs? I think we've taken the crown off them after they actually managed to win one.

 

[8lade]

Spot on from their fans in general, must admit my heckles were rising a tad at the number of 'winnable' comments but then realised they had of course beaten us already so forget that. They correct each other well over attendances and in all other respects I see us as similar but hopefully with us starting to leave them behind. Apart from when the Wednesday fans start sucking up to our upcoming opponents I can't really see why anybody would prefer them to us unless it's the colours or the comedy club badge people like to see.

Our average attendance is bigger than their capacity. But yeah, other than that we're the same.

“Most officious and miserable outbound staff on the circuit. I certainly will not be going to Bramhall Lane.”

We won't be going there either, you fucking jeb end.

 

[dingledog]

Just remember Roy, you are still on a yellow card after last weeks very late appearance, don't think getting this out on a Thursday is going to help!!! We blades have very long memories, some of us can even remember Tuesday this week, or was that Monday.......

Cheers mate

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Makes me laugh...”crap draw” - “boring draw” - “doesn’t set the pulse racing”

They sold out and want extra tickets.

That surely means we are due to win the play-offs.

I think the £10 ticketing helps. Also we do make a good away day, many fans from other clubs have made this comment.

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. Sensible comments on the whole!. I'm sure we can win it but our possible playoff push is more important I M O. Utb

 

[Ricky]

What's wrong with the stewards, what do they do?

They seem OK on the BLUT to me. Are they wankers to away fans, trying to make them sit down etc?

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy
Anyone would think they are Man U

 

[Harry's Game]

I can’t disagree with much there, even the one who tired to claim comparable size was shot down by one of his fellow fans.

I would say this result will have no effect on the upcoming league game between us as there will be about 8 different starters for us between the two fixtures.

Were I an addicted spread betting man I think I'd go for the '11 - 15' changes between the two teams.

I don't think any of us will be going there either.

Edit - Oops. Already beaten to it by shorehamview.

They're only coming to see United
