The two occasions that I remember clearly was the Bobby D derby so 11th March 92, and the game in the Zenith Data Systems which they won 3-2 after extra time. So probably about late 1989 I think.
I was in their North Stand both occasions with a load of Blade mates. Didn't bother trying to make ourselves conspicuous as there were plenty of other Blades sat around us.

3-1, we beat the scum 3-1. I was in the North Stand for that, close to the away end. Surrounded by Blades but we all thought everyone else was pigs, and all kept schtum until the first goal went in. Then we realised that everyone around us was a Blade. Great fun from then on. Each person could buy six tickets each, no purchase history required.
I remember afterwards it was very edgy. We walked into one of their pubs and I used the payphone to order a cab. I lied and said Grenoside or For Hill or something, as I was within earshot of some very dodgy looking blokes. When we got in the cab I said 'change of plan mate - London Rd'.

1979, the day after Christmas Day.
I was sat with my dad and older brother in the North Stand. The whole block next to the Leppings Lane seemed to be full of Blades from what I remember.

Some time in the mid 60s when we won 2-0 IIRC. Did Birch score them both or is my memory a bit befuddled after a couple of stiff whiskies imbibed during Lionesses game.

Wendy 0 Blades 2 (Birchenall 2)
Last week I asked my Uncle Ronnie if he was at the match. He said he wasnt at the match but couldnt remember why he missed the match. He thinks my dad was at the match. A friend of mine (now 74) who was at the match remembered reading about Alan Birchenall in the papers before the game but he wasnt confident that we would win and it was a surprise that "Sherman" scored twice in his only second 1st team match. He said the second goal was a beauty as Birchenall soared high to head in a Barry Hartle corner.

I was in the middle of the north stand for the Data Zenith match around 1992and there were loads of Blades scattered all around their north stand.
When we scored I stood up celebrating, not a hint of trouble from Wednesday fans sat near me
But fans did mix a lot more back then compared to now.
Also remember the Bobby Davison game around 1993. I was in the uncovered standing corner section and remember United had a big area of the North stand next to the away end for that match
But as mentioned….in the 80’s and 90’s it was quite common for away fans to go into the side stands.

A little harsh on a well meaning body of men
Same here.
Me, my dad, his mate and my mate Andy. We mainly had Wednesdayites immediately around us, but there were hundreds of Unitedites, all over the stand.

They also get 'bigger crowds than us', even though yer' real facts show they haven't averaged over 30k since the 60s.
They started the 'fight for evermore' song after Boxing Day, except they didn't. Spurs did, we copied it and Wednesday picked it up by Easter.
They were the 'first to have a kop', even though we had one at the Lane over 20 years before their current shithole was built.
They started using 'Hi Ho Silver Lining' first, conveniently ignoring Wolves, where Jeff Beck whose song it is, was born.
I haven't yet heard that the invented the wheel, came up with the Laws of Motion before that Newton Bloke, or that Mother Terrasa was a pig, but I'm sure some of them think it.
Absolute deluded bellends, the lot of them.

TBF I remember around 80/81 they gave Wednesday about a quarter of our Kop for some reason. I was only 12 but remember it clearly.

Was that the league cup matches which was played in 1980-81 season home and away…..didn’t go to any of those.
I went to the Easter div 3 league match game in 1979-80 season and can’t remember any Wednesday fans on our Kop for that game
but plenty in the John Street stand near the away end.
To be honest let’s be realistic……back then up to probably the mid 1990’s there was a general free for all regards tickets, no membership restrictions.
It was quite normal for Blades to try to get tickets in the away end but it would prove difficult so you went in their North stand or their Kop
And vice versa with Owls all over Bramall Lane.
I was sat in the middle of Wednesday Kop near the back when…..I think D’Jaffo and Asaba scored..think this was early 2000’s.
You just used common sense..kept quiet and didn’t reveal you allegiances.

We were sat in the opposite stand (South, I suppose). Mix of Pig fans/ Blades, right next to the Leppings Lane End. Great fun. Got piss wet through but still one of the best nights Ive had watching United.
I think we missed out in the ballot for tickets so I sent the mother-in-law down to the Sty (bless her) who asked for and got 'four tickets as near to the Sheff Utd fans as possible'.
November 1989 7 months after the Hillsborough tragedy. They closed the Leppings Lane terracing behind the goal for the Zenith Data game. Blades were in upper tier and the non mans land section at the side over looking the North Stand.
Walked onto North Stand with mate and a number of their known faces were stood discussing the fact there were Blades all over the stand. When Deane pulled it back to 1-1 there was a crush in no mans land so the stewards panicked and mindful of what had gone on before at that end let more Blades onto the North where we were in numbers in the last section next to the away end. Only time I've been on it but stood/ sat in every other part of the Sty, Kop, South Stand Leppings Lane upper and lower all watching the Blades
