City, Newcastle.
Please fill in while I try and search.

Our TV games tend to go ahead regardless of the weather. I can't remember a game being called of due to high winds, so expect this won't be called off.

Not sure which exits could be deemed unsafe and why.

Three Cranes, The Cannon, Hen and Chickens - a sophisticated night out in Sheffield in its day.

Chuck in the Market Tavern and the Boulogne and it's as sophisticated as it gets......

Newcastle at home was on Amazon Prime.

Going on this site, we've been on BT three times this season and lost them all without scoring... because we were playing Liverpool (twice) and Man City.

A pub that lets women in... the Prince's worst nightmare!

Apart from when he goes whorin' in Bahrain.

Good few years back, 2006?, friday night vs Crewe. All the pavements iced over but it was on Sky so went ahead.

Thanks Beans. Wracking brain cell here, have we scored on BT?

You must have replied just before I edited - no, 0-1 and 0-2 v Pool, 0-1 v Man City.

Why are we playing on Sunday ? is it on TV ? do Bournemouth have a Euro game on Thursday

Who is going to the match in a all the rage fashion accessory these days.

Do you often go to football with your lass's knickers round your face?

I know the club earns money from TV but we don't seem to get the results this year.

 

[sheffielder]

Wasnt the first game against palace on BT?

To be fair I think the games with Liverpool and City could have been on CBeebies and we'd still probably have lost.

Sky apparently: https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/3328885/sheffield-united-vs-crystal-palace/

Looking forward to the drive from Bristol already. UTB

Sky.

We've a decent record on Sky this season:

United 1-0 Palace
United 1-0 Arsenal
United 3-3 Man U
United 1-0 West Ham

Compare and contrast with BT:
United 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool 2-0 United
United 0-1 Man C

and Amazon
United 0-2 Newcastle*
United 1-1 Watford

*the Newcastle result may also be down to the fact that I was there.

Sky TV is fuckin' brilliant. 2.5 points average, get on it more I say.

I may be way off here but I reckon which channel we’re in will have very little, if any, impact on how we perform.

The only TV game I can remember being called off was Business Model FC at home when Wilson was manager. Think it was due to ice around the ground. The rearranged match was that mental 2-2 draw by which point Morgan was our manager.

Crewe at home years ago: under Warnock IIRC

That game actually went ahead didn't it? 0-0 and Warnock had a go at Akinbiyi at the end for not diving

Brentford at home got called off in Feb 2014 due to a waterlogged pitch, but two PL games got called off that week due to wind/rain safety concerns ..

But on closer reading that was a Red alert for gusts up to 100MPH, next Sunday's is a yellow and only gusting up to 29MPH so think we should be oreyt

And you call yourself a football fan?

 

[SteveBlade]

Does it even get that windy in the ground because science or something?

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

FFS they can't predict yesterdays weather let alone nearly a week in future. Good sale of tickets for this game already. Hope we can carry on with the 30K run.

In defence of proper weather forecasters (as opposed to Daily Express, etc), we have been looking since Xmas to get a bit of walking in the Lake District. On the basis of the forecast a week ago, we booked a couple of nights, and have been walking in the sun today, and (touch wood) it looks like we've got a similar day tomorrow. So prepare for the gales on Sunday (get Ollie practising in swinging corners again).

To be fair much as dislike BT, I think that their match selection is the biggest reason we haven't done too well on their channel this season.

Hopefully this wind will smell nicer than the wind i usually smell at games!

was going to say, it’s open season for the Kop farters!

Our lasses knickers,they are commonly called belly warmers they would cover mi whole head

 

[IOM Blade]

We did beat Cambridge and Charlton on BT during the FA Cup run under Clough. Think the home draw with Fulham was on BT too.

29MPH?

Says 52MPH actually now, but I get your drift

Wind or your farts?
