Tonight's Thought Provoking Question.

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

You wake one morning and discover to your horror.

SHEFFIELD UNITED NO LONGER EXIST.

Who would you support, if anyone?
Would you join a group of like-minded supporters who would help form the foundations of a 'new club'?
What would be your one defining memory of Sheffield United?

 

[JohnDenver]

1, See 2.

2, Yes

3, See...

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

The main thing is...

Would this forum carry on?

 

[1973Blade]

I would try and get to the parallel universe where the Blades still exist. My abiding memory of the Blades would be watching a man dressed in a Bertie Bassett costume being arrested at Filbert Street in 1990 after invading the pitch after our fifth goal and attempting to disappear into the crowd.

 

[Jehovah]

Think I'd turn to a local team like Hallam or Sheffield FC. There would be no point in the hassle of match day parking, money spent etc for a team I couldn't care less about. One defining memory would be the general feeling of always coming so close, but always being left disappointed. Just like my girlfriends.

 

[Grappler]

1. I could never have the same feelings for any other club, however I would follow local football, grass roots, so probably Hallam FC
2. Probably, but again, it just wouldn't be the same as SUFC
3. All of them

 

[Pinchy]

1. Absolutely nobody.
2. I would be the founder and life president of Proper United F.C.
3. The all too brief reign of David Weir and what glories may have followed had he not taken the Barca job. Sigh.....

Telling Lydon to fuck off with my last post

 

[Blade56]

I wonder why there is only one Manopoly and Merges Commission ?

That's thought provoking

 

[nopigfansintown]

I would support the other Sheffield teams (not South Barnsley).

Yes

Bramall Lane under the lights

 

[Ricky]

I think I'd just support Wednesday. They're a Sheffield club and they're not all bad, are they?
























Replies no one, ever.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I'd support whoever rose from the ashes. If they carry the name and traditions of the original club.

My defining memory would be tumbling down John Street steps celebrating Michael Browns goal against the Filth.

 

[1973Blade]

That's thought provoking

And if Sheffield FC were the first football club in the world who did they play against?

Is that a femidom?

Tell me about your childhood.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Bramall Lane under the lights

Those big things, not the LCDs on the roofs pointing down.

BDTBL under the floodlights.
HEAVEN in four words.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

 

[Blade56]

Tell me about your childhood.

 

[Uncle mick]

I wouldnt support anyone.
My one memory is leicester away on the promotion day.
Pigs went down that day and i had a strange thought of what if you could choose only one.
Us going up or pigs coming down.
I still dont know which but err on side of pigs going down.

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

I'd support a new movement... FC United of Sheffield, or whatever you want to call it.

Main memory would be kicking a football around in the garden as a kid chanting 'Deano' in the full kit and hoping that one day I could play for the Blades.

see below.

Yes. What other choice would there be.

Every single time I walk up the steps from the concourse of the south stand and see and smell the hallowed turf in front of me it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, no matter how many hundreds of times I do it. That's what I would have in mind whenever I thought of United.

 

[Sean Thornton]

No one.

Saw goals against the Pigs - Punton Birchenall Tudor Brown Akinbadbuy but Danes two, especially the first one would be the main memory.

 

[Tyler Durden]

And if Sheffield FC were the first football club in the world who did they play against?

Each other. Members formed sub-teams based on things like occupation and even marital status.
The original intention wasn't even to play competitively, but as a way to keep fit during the winter months when sports like cricket couldn't be played.

 

[Snowman]

Pittsburgh Steelers
Yes
Night matches under the old floodlights, standing on the Kop with a full house in full song before fences and seating. We are in red and white stripes.

Wednesday

 

[BalancedBlade]

I'd probably follow the millers as only live a mile away.
Abiding memory is Alan youngs overhead kick goal, I was only 16/17 at the time and it just blew me away.

 

[derfblade.3]

Fuckin hell....i was starting to feel good about us and now you do this!

 

[Bladepicker]

I'd support the phoenix club and my abiding memory would be when that Phoenix club makes its way back into league 2 and I can watch Sheffield United in the football league again with my now grown up children.

Brings tears to my eyes already.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'd be off to Headingly (spit on Leeds all the way to the ground) to follow the white rose, wouldn't have to fuck about getting a pint either like the cattle market that is Bramall Lane at half time.

 

[Elsecar_Blade]

I'd 'support' Rotherham, they seem the closest types of fans to Unitedites. They play in red. They have a nice ground.

I'd keep an eye on any FC United of Sheffield type club and back it in some way.

Abiding memory ... Nade vs. Arsenal or Brown vs. Pigs.
