Who would you support...

[Houston_Blade]

I’d watch Chesterfield if I wanted to go to a match and out of the league clubs I prefer Spurs. Don’t know why, they just don’t offend me like pretty much every other club does.

 

[BigBed]

I'd start a new club called Sheff United FC, anybody want to invest??

 

[brownie4583]

Alloa Athletic,I’ve been to 5 of their games over the last few years,including a riveting 1-1 draw at home to Stranraer with a good crowd of 650

 

[JackSUFC]

I’d be Chez Vegas too but at the minute I couldn’t think of owt worse!

I'm a very rich arab, I've got another pound......

 

[Kenilworth]

Fucking no one.
I'd be abandoned 100 miles from Sheffield and cease to have roots to my tribe.
There's no other fucker I'd have any emotional tie to.
Probs watch a bit of EFL football highlights on the telly without much interest. I don't tend to watch Prem on MOTD these days, anyway.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Rovrum as the don valley stadium is only 2 minutes down the road from me.

Errr Rotherham don't play at the Don Valley Stadium UTB

 

[Bladesman]

Probably Sheffield FC

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Rotherham or if our move to Blackpool ever comes off Fleetwood (nothing to do with Ched).

 

[snootyfenooty]

Cowdenbeath. The name has always fascinated me and I always look for their result. I think its some sort of football OCD.

 

[knowsnowt]

Don't be daft. Of course they do!

 

[benn5712]

Hallam FC

They have a kit similar to the pigs and I have seen evidence of collusion.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Rochdale. Their half time music is the dog's bollocks.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Rochdale. Their half time music is the dog's bollocks.

I don’t think I know that one. Can you hum it for us?

 

[raul]

1) Lord v Pigs
2) Bounceslayer
3) Peach omg omg
4) Jags v Leeds
5) Scougs at Wembley

 

[stringjunior]

Stockport County. Just down the road.

 

[Grey Blade]

Harrogate Town. 20 minute walk away

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Ah ! The Blue Brazil. A few people in West Yorkshire used to follow their fortunes and arrange occasional trips to games.

 

[Muttley]

I'd be done with football. I support The Blades. I have no interest in any other team. I despise the Premiership and the overpaid pansies who dive around.
England? Maybe, but only in major competitions.
I used to love the game as a whole, not anymore. Just The Blades.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Harrogate Town. 20 minute walk away

FOTHT

 

[Canterbury Blade]

Couldn’t do it in the UK. Just couldn’t.

Atletico Bilbao, Sevilla or athletic Madrid.

Bit of sunshine on me belly whilst looking at the red and white love action.

 

[Muttley]

As already said, nobody, but I might sort of support whoever Mr Wilder is managing.

 

[Robby Blade]

Just the same with me. Not watched MOTD at all this season and hardly any last season. Can't be arsed with England. Will watch Championship games if the streaming works and enjoy it if Wednesday are getting a pasting.

My love for United is as strong now as it ever was, but football can go fuck itself for all I care.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Similar for me. I’ve liked Cowdenbeath since Martin Kelner had a Cowdenbeath supporters club on his “late Martin Kelner show” in the 1980’s on Radio Hallam.

I’ve never considered it to be evidence of me having CDO though. (I know it is usually written “OCD” but I think it looks better in alphabetical order).

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Don't be daft. Of course they do!

Tha knowsnowt thee Knowsnowt!

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I’d support whoever wins things and look like they’ll continue to do it.

Must be an amazing feeling to think “0h we’ve only won the FA Cup this year”

Joking, I reckon I’ve had more pleasure out of our once every now and gain highs such as going up or a memorable cup tie win than any plastic Man City/United /Chelsea fan have ever and will ever have winning cups and titles year after year.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Celtic
Most of my family supports them anyway

 

[cahill]

If United - for whatever reason - ceased to exist, and I mean in the sense you have been a blade all your life and suddenly they fold, who would you support instead?

Wednesday obviously

This got brought up in a conversation I had at work yesterday with my Man Utd supporting colleague (and yes, I have been to Old Trafford more times than he has). He was telling me that his second team has always been Norwich City because they were his granddad's team. I said I'd not really had a second team for decades, describing my Football Team League Table these days showing Sheffield United at #1, Leeds at #91, and Wednesday at #92, with everybody else either equal #90 or equal #2, depending on how you want to look at it.

I then said I've always had a soft spot for Cowdenbeath because of Martin Kelner on Radio Hallam in 1979. I went on to explain that it was on the same night that we drew our last game of the 1978-1979 season at home to Leicester City 2-2, thus confirming our relegation to the old Third Division for the first time in our history. Despite it being the first time United had reduced me to tears, I still managed to do the usual that evening and tune into The Late Martin Kelner Show on Radio Hallam to cheer myself up. On the show, he offered his commiserations to Sheffield United fans and said that he'd been looking at the other results that night, suggesting if we were looking for a new club to support, he could recommend Cowdenbeath as they'd won 3-0. I have checked this very evening (for the first time) actually checked the scores for that night, May 8th 1979, to make sure my memory was correct, and there it was: Falkirk 0-3 Cowdenbeath.

He then suggested we could start a supporters club for Cowdenbeath with scrolls and everything. The next day at school, me and my Sheffield United supporting mates Jez Nixon and Chris "Doggy" Howell put our heads together to discuss this and then spent the rest of the school-day composing our letters to Mr Kelner. As we had worked out where he lived by careful stalking-use of the Telephone Directory (some flats on Endcliffe Vale Road), we delivered them by hand. He was remarkably cool about being doorstepped by a bunch of 13-year-olds and even invited us in. I made a note that he had the picture disc version of My Best Friend's Girl by The Cars on his wall as well as a poster of Laurel & Hardy.

Anyway, a few nights later we were proud to hear that we were the first punters to be inducted into the Cowdenbeath Supporters Club and a few days later we received our scrolls in the post. These were not "scrolls" as such, but were rather no-expense-spared photocopied A4 sheets depicting what I described to my colleague as "a racial stereotype that would surely land Martin Kelner in trouble these days": in short, it was a cartoon of a Scottish gentleman clutching a bottle of whisky with a speech bubble saying "Hoots mon!" It was also titled "The Cow Dung Beef Club" and somewhere, I still have it. I'll find it one day and share it - what a treat!

I probably wouldn't support anyone, I would lose some interest and have random periods cheering for different teams. I think supporting someone is smg intuitive, you just find you do...not a rule on the nearest club. My parents were not from Sheffield, but me and my brother lived a short walk from Bramall Lane, I just supported the Blades and started going, he didn't. I lived two minutes from the Ferencvaros ground in Hungary for a while, we used to go with my mates, they ended up with shirts, scarves and travelling for European fixtures...I lost interest straight away. Now I live close to Union St Gilloise...cant be bothered. Never went to a Southampton game, when I lived there and could see half the pitch from my roof on match days. Most of the times I find I cheer for England...sometimes I dont, for some reason...I found I wanted Senegal to hammer them, because Iiliman Ndiaye was playing. For some unknown reason I also cheered for Man Utd in the Prem and Champions League, I think it started after watching them hammer Wednesday once in the 80s when I was young...no idea why I still do, they are bobbins and from a different city...but if I see them playing Arsenal on TV, probably would want them to win. I dont hate Sheffield Wednesday at all, I prefer them to say Leeds, but I still find without rationality I want them to lose every game and cease to exist this season...
