I think this was the first time Utd won 3 points for a game??
It was March 30th 1982 and it wasnt a cold night. I had arrived at the ground late after playing in an rearranged Friendlies League match and missed Trusson's goal.
Correct. Got to the ground late because some local numpty gave us directions to the rugby ground by mistake
18 of the other 23 teams had their highest crowds when we were the visitors.
I was there too. Remember the Bradford fans throwing shiny golden ticker tapes on to pitch (almost Argentina 78 style) when the players came on the pitch at the start.
I remember Bradford's David McNiven giving our defence a hard time
I went with the Blades Travel Club in 1988/89 and about 12 coaches went to Central Park and did a circle round the car park before heading to Springfield Lane.
Yeah 30th March, my birthday
I remember going to that game, I got ejected before kick off after an altercation in the ground with a Wigan fan, I then queued up outside and paid again at the turnstile.
Only thing I remember about that game was police chasing a Blade down the opposite touchline to where we were towards the corner flag,still can't get rid of the image.
That was the night match, a big crowd that evening.
Officially it was 24k v Posh Utd in the last game, but heard the unofficial attendance from lads at the game it was way more ? But probably not 37k
I was at the Posh away game a couple of weeks before and the official attendance was 13k 
It was nearer 23k than 13k. There were at least 6k Blades there and it was midweek. 
Boths sides were neck and neck in the promotion race, but Posh were blown away that night and never recovered.
Day before my birthday!
I can remember an open terrace to the left of the away end. Just after the kick-off loads of Blades fans climbed over the wall at the back to the astonishment of the locals stood on it
Always thought our club tweaked the attendance for the Peterborough home game when we won 4-0 . Granted didn’t have they away following of the Bradford match but thought it was late 20k’s .
100%
You were lucky to miss Colchester away , the low point of the season! We've never played Hereford since, hopefully I'll get to go to their ground in the FA Cup one year.I got this picture of another site it’s from our trip to Bradford in the 4th Division season , 2-0 win and one of many great away day trips that season .
The season still ranks as one of the best , if not the best for me personally as a Blade for a few reasons , probably the main one being was because it was the first season of success I’d seen in my time attending The Lane and the first season I was old enough to regularly attend away matches regular .Also It was my first season I was lucky enough to ball boy a good selection of home matches while playing for SUJB the highlight being running out onto the pitch in front of the players and hearing the roar of the crowd in the first home game against Hereford , felt so proud & felt 10 ft tall .
My debut at BDTBL against Palace in 77/78 this season followed by 2 relegations in 4 seasons .
I only missed 3 games out of the 46 which wasn’t too bad for a 13/14 Yr old lad whose games were funded by multiple paper rounds & glass collecting those being ( Hereford ( A) midweek North’ton ( A) midweek Colchester ( A ) . Went from the delights of the English riviera with trips to Bournemouth & Torquay to the not so wondrous Hartlepool , Tranmere & Rochdale . It included a Tuesday night trip to Highbury for the 2nd leg of League Cup & a night to forget at Altrincham in FA Cup . Probably my most memorable away days were Peterborough away another night game and 8k travelling Blades roaring on the lads to a 4-0 win & the unforgettable day at Feethams.
