What % Of The 125 Years Blades History have you watched them?

[EastonBlade]

42%.Started August 1962. My grandfather had season tickets at BDBL (old John St Stand, well remember the steam loco nameplate on the wooden stairs) and Hillsborough (old North Stand), and went with him and my father, later my brother as well. Grandfather was a director of Chester FC (then in Div 4) but lived in Sheffield, so impartial as to which team preferred, but father and brother both Wednesday supporters so I had to follow United. (Well, the real reason was the lowered front to the roof of the John St Stand, which made for a more enclosed and intimate view of the pitch and more importantly made it warmer in cold windy weather - nesh or what?). Too much information.....

 

[JOEYDEE]

53.3 per cent ! And thats without a calculator !

 

[Hartley Hare]

My first game 1991. I make that 18%. Although, it is only fairly recently 2008 that I have had more time to follow the team, by attending matches. A modest 5% - which is rather poor in this survey.

First game was Boxing Day 1959, so say 1960 = 54 years = 43.2%

Wait until kentblade gets here

40.8% for me and I'm struggling to come to terms with my mortality, that statistic really isn't helping.

1940 odd when we had to play at Owlerton because of the bomb damage to the sacred turf..
So young was I. That,I could not understand why grown men were playing in short trousers..
I would like to say that I recall rampant Blade!s victories. Unfortunately, all I remember isPigs in hooped shirts and a guy called I think Hunt, who looked to be .100 years old playing forthem
