The blades are going up

[Derby blade]

Hands up who cringes when blades fans start singing the blades are going up, and now you going to believe us

 

[Sheffsteel]

A little
But to be honest we do have the look of an auto promotion team.

 

[away ends always empty.]

Can't remember that song it's been that long.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Not as much as when I heard "Sheffield Wednesday, we're coming for you" on Saturday.

We should know better than to say such things so prematurely.

 

[away ends always empty.]

Too right do not like that one at all.

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Sing it when it's mathematically sure.

 

[Caseh]

I don't believe we're going anywhere, until we're actually there.

 

[BigBed]

I won't believe we're actually there until the day after we're actually there!!!!

 

[Stretch]

I don't exactly cringe but as others have said why tempt fate. You can't blame folk for being optimistic though, we do look extremely good at the minute

Optimism is brilliant. We all have every reason to have a degree of optimism.
But that is all.
We can fall away like Autumn leaves off a tree and be blown away to mediocrity.
We could go on to win the league.
One thing I know is we will piss on our chips when least expected.
Keep your powder dry. The end result may be all the sweeter for it.

Sing if it's mathematically sure....

Here's the tune:

Thought that was a crap song at the time TBH. Likewise 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Actually theought The TRB were pretty gash all round. But that was just my opinion.

 

[Barney]

Not cringey if it's true.

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Hasn't he got lovely teeth? Always trust a man with nice teeth.
Or is that a huge fucking shaft?

Last time I saw that gentleman was when he was playing live at the Limit...did you once say you worked behind the bar there?

 

[Jehovah]

I refuse to believe we're there until we're relegated from the championship.

I really liked them. Loved 2-4-6-8, Up against the Wall and especially War Baby.

I did mate. For about 4 years from 1979 to 1983. Started as a glass collector,then main bar and wine bar then George gave me Tuesday nights to find and promote local bands. Also sorted get ins and sounchecks for all Thursday night acts.

I used to play League Snooker for the Civil Service team. We were in the same League as The Limit's team with George Webster as captain.

Liked War Baby. Plaintive.

I must have seen you about a million times back in the day. How much could you get that boozer near Bramall Lane for?

Was that in the snooker centre above the Limit. Funny you mention George and sport. I used to thrash both him and Kevan at Tennis. We were all members of Hallamshire at the time.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

When you've been zapped with electrodes to the testicles for six years you have some doubts when they say it's going to stop.

 

[GrayBlade]

10, 20 or 30 years ago we'd probably be singing with them. Let them have their heads and enjoy the moment, it's the only way they'll learn just like we did, and if we do go up moments like last night be something worth remembering.

They do keep missing off the SHIT before Sheffield Wednesday though.

You mean the Golden Lion ? If so I'd guess no more than 90k

Freehold and all, what else would it need (like pictures of Blades in victorious mode, maybe hard to find). Could you make it work?

As a freehold 100%
No crippling rent or beer tie charges. Basically an immediate 60% drop in former fixed overheads.
I was in there last night pre match. It's nicely appointed with a pleasant exterior. It can't survive in its current incarnation as a tied leasehold earning on matchdays only. It can make money as a freehold selling a great range of free of tie products at competitive prices .
The Railway is doing just that.

Yes, their table was. We played at the Black Swan Snooker Centre.

I will know you. No question.

My Limit reunion post may interest you.

I was once (rightly) thrown out of The Limit as well....

You must be older than I thought!
