Got promoted today after 7 years in League 1. Except for them ruining a birthday beano that we had up there in 99 when we lost 2-0 in an appalling game of football i've actually got nothing against them. A big club who've suffered and served their time.
I actually think they'll do well back in the Championship next year. They must be preying that the Owls don't get promoted...
Glad they are up, another local away day. Sheffield is a great city and Bramall Lane is a proper football ground.
We've always done ok there when I have been. Vague recollection of a cup win mid-week when I think they were in a higher division than us. Could be wrong but think Martin Rowlands scored a couple.
We met a few Utd fans in Liverpool when we won at Everton in our 1st season back in the premier league.They were away at Tranmere.We had a good chat about Warnock and Paddy Kenny. Who would've thought it would have taken them so long to get out of that division?And that we would've had such a rollercoaster ride since then? I'm pleased that they finally made it back up.
Evil Ladbroke Grove Lancaster West estate Chris Wren educated Spud Les will be pleased. Start of the season it will be the 25th anniversary season of this:

Let's face it I'm not getting any thinner.
Pass the cake and pies please.
Always liked Sheffield United. Ideally, the Championship would have no Northern teams in it as we always struggle up there but, that apart, I'm pleased for the Blades.

Soft spot for the Blades. They were my Dad's team, and the first few league matches I attended were at Bramall Lane. Their youth team played home games in the park at the end of our road. I have a fuzzy memory (I must have been 4 or 5) of retrieving the ball from a bush for the goalie, and receiving a pat on the head and wink in thanks. I can't say for sure but it was likely future international Alan Hodgkinson, the timing's about right.

I know it's not the club or fans but I've never liked them since Dave Thomas was given a rough time, putting it mildly,by the stewards for selling A Kick up the R's at half time on the concourse.
When we beat them 2-1 up therein the 90s, some really brave bloke lamped me one, before running in among his mates. Because I heard him coming, I braced myself, leant into him and so he basically hit a brick wall.
I stood there motionless and while a mate said you just looked hard, it was shock that after so many matches, I'd got tagged. A scummy SY pig came over and started having a go, whereupon several United fans came over, told the git-in-uniform what happened and pointed to the braveheart and said, 'arrest him!' Of course, the prick walked away from his duties.
The United fans insisted on walking back to the station with us in case braveheart and his chums wanted to trade. We suggested beers, but they had to push on. Decent genuine lads and when United came south my chums and I met up with them. Kicked the crap out of them as you'd expect, but they learned some respect! (last sentence only joking)
Soft spot for the Blades ever since.

Having spoken to a few Northampton fans in the office this morning seems like they took over took some of the home areas and attacked a few old boys in the disabled section of the ground classy
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

One of my best mates supports Sheffield United and all I can remember are the times he's come to Loftus Road and been annoyingly magnanimous when they've beaten us.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea.

That may have been at the game i mentioned in the op as I definitely remember a similar incident unless of course it's happened on several occasions.
Going back to that game I remember we got un a cab and told the driver to take us to a pub close to the ground. So he took us to the Cricketers on Bramall Lane! It was suggested we leave due to our accents and one of us wearing hoops. Fortunately we made It out of there ok.
We lost 2-0 and I always remember how my nonfootballing mates said things like, "Is It always this shit" and "How can you enjoy this shÃt". They just didn't get It.

New Year's Day in 1990-91?Thirty minutes into our game away in Sheffield we were 1-0 down,we'd missed a penalty and Andy Sinton had broken his leg.
