Crowd/Tickets
I'd suggest getting there a lot earlier than 15 minutes early. It's going to be busier than people think!
My friend turned up at 2.45pm, was in the ticket office by 2.50pm and in the ground by kick off. He said there were barely any queues.
The flip side was some others at work who tried to ring yesterday through and were calller 23, 24 and on the phone for 20 mins before they gave up. They live away from Sheffield and cannot get down to the ground but you could not get tickets on the internet. The fact they just decided sod it and could not be bothered to turn up on the day and pay the extra sums up the apathy surrounding the club.
You may argue people should have got tickets before or at earlier games but sometimes people may only decide a day/few days before. That is their entitlement. The club should have a better telephone system or surely an online system. I wonder how many others just gave up yesterday when trying to get through.
Still disappointing to see only 10,000 Blades attending but this is a sure sign of things to come. The prices were excellent so no blame to club on that one but the club can reduce prices to a pound and people are now still not going to come. It is too little, too late.
Too many broken promises, lies, squad/s completely torn apart, let down big games and awful managerial appointments.
Todays swarms of empty seats will be a regular fixture at the Lane next year but away teams wont bring 5,500 so dread to think what the attendances will be.
