Stating the Obvious.

I know who Barney is, but WTF is 'Swayzee'?

You'd have been better off showing your age and stop pretending to be down wiv da yoof.

You could have paraphrased MPFC (No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition).

ISC - Taking chances to blatantly plug old comedy since......

That'll give LYDON some ideas for his next theme night

I like the enthusiasm of the OP.

One point tho, don't swallow the brimming bullshizzle that those from S6 are some special breed of 'madforit' all cheering die hards spreading their positivity on matchdays. They aren't.

Half my family are Fowls and even with the millions spent and two seasons of relatively high flying, they tell me it's a morgue at that dilapidated place like the majority of grounds up and down the land. And has been for years.

Modern football init.

Can anybody post the Match of the day You-tube clip of Blades v Oxford from 1968? That's what the kop sounded like at every home game in the 60's.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

A vote for the (absolutely) silent majority?

Nope. And I'm neither silent nor still at football. I just don't like narcissists, bullies or control freaks.

all seater stadiums have been a big factor in grounds lacking atmosphere it will never be the same as it used to be in bygone years as for the lane dont think we will get it back to how it used to be till we get back in the championship and get more away fans in the ground but i feel it will pick up after this month when these 5 or 6 crucial home games come up

totally agree.

on the whole though i dont consider it too bad at the Lane all things considered. up and coming crunch fixtures will really turn it on.

 

[Punk Blade]

More impotantly South Stand, Westfield Stand, North stand and Bramall Lane end behind the goal.

Means to an end. Worth 12 points every season.

'North stand'?

 

[Bob Socks]

Cheers Peter.

It's not only the Kop that start the singing, a gang of lads behind me in "G" block, and a lot of lads in "H" block, start singing and chants as well. It just needs a few to do it, to start it off.

Indeed, me neither. I find the notion of non-supporting supporters a curious one, though. Then again, there is much that is curious about S2.

Yes, apparently it is packed full of straw men for your to disparage/ abuse the non existent opinions of this fabricated 'hoofer' mass.

Surprised you still go, when 99.9% of those around are not at your cerebral level of footy appreciation.

"Ave it"

I guess I meant that there are many ways of supporting, and of showing support. Standing up with your arms spread sideways and singing about shagging "your women" (or anything else) being only one.

We all love a good atmosphere ( fucking hell i sound like Russ Abbot) but the day they hand out those stupid clapper things like they do at Lestah or like Huddersfield fans did at Wembley ( boo !) is the day I pack it in.

They handed some out a few years back.

I'm struggling to remember the game - possibly a play off semi (there have been many)?

"Or anything else" ? Anything ? You hum it I'll play it

Possibly Arsenal or Newcastle, like you say, so many. Always the bridesmaids ugly sister

Indeed. Not in my repertoire that one. I usually join in the GCB, at the right speed, not racing other choristers to the last note. If the atmosphere falls flat I usually deliver a couple of impassioned arias (Nessun Dorma goes down well). In the event of victory I celebrate by leading the whole block where I sit in an ensemble rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.

If we lose I simply allow my face to redden just a little, shout obscene but courteous abuse in a posh voice and perform a very refined and understated 'wanker' gesture; whilst gently expelling spittle in all directions.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Can't wait to hear The Werther's Crew in full voice on Saturday.

They'll be able to hear 'em outside Wigfalls.

 

[Bladebri]

Haven't you got it in HD

Sure it was a play off SF.

bout time we got the na na na na na na na na hey hey hey sheff united chant ringing round the lane like olden days

God that takes me back!

 

[cahill]

I think it was that match that gave me a sense, a vision even, of a less than stellar future for the Blades. I remember thinking " this can't fucking happen, we're Sheffield United " temporarily on loan to Division 2 against a non- league team.

Little did I realise, despite the false rebirth from 1971-1974

There, fixed that for you.

It didn't go down too well when we went to Ms Crab's parents for Christmas dinner let me tell you.
