Jerseybean Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 So, one thing is for sure - you won’t go thirsty in Sheffield, another thing is highly probable - we won’t be playing ‘em next season. Pay on the day will be available at Bramall Lane tomorrow (Tuesday, April 17th, 7:45pm) as City travel to face Sheffield United. Pay on the day tickets will be available for cash only without an increase in price from the ticket office, which is located at the bottom of the main car park – Cherry Street. Collection and duplicates will be available from the black collection kiosk which is adjacent to the ticket office – an hour and a half before KO. Tickets remain on sale from Ashton Gate until 11am tomorrow (Tuesday). At the end of last season the Blades were beaten on penalties by Nottingham Forest after their play off semi-final finished 3-3 on aggregate. On Saturday they boosted their hopes of automatic promotion to the Premier League with a 4-1 win over relegation-threatened Cardiff City. They have a five point buffer on the teams chasing them and a game in hand. Next Saturday they face Manchester City (who ended our FA Cuo run) at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final. On November 1st it finished 0-1 at Ashton Gate, in torrential rain, a game we played well in and really deserved at least a point from. Paul Heckingbottom's reaction, ‘That's the worst win I've had here. I felt our experience really came to the fore. I can really feel for Nigel, so I'm not going to be smug about it but you've got to win. They were the better team in most departments but we defended our box.’ It’s a 360ish mile round trip from Bristol so a big shout out to the traveling Red Army. Here’s a guide to Bramall Lane: https://www.sufc.co.uk/club/visiting-bramall-lane/ and another: https://footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/premier-league/bramall-lane-sheffield-united.html The man in the middle is Geoff Eltringham, who will be assisted by Andrew Fox and Shaun Hudson. The fourth official is Carl Boyeson. We have a poor record against them having lost 32, won 16 and drawn 12. NP isn’t popular with their fans he played for arch rivals Sheffield Wednesday (see photo) between October 1987 and July 1994, making 218 appearances and scoring 20 times. As it happens Heckingbottom played for them too 2004-2006 making 42 appearances and scoring four. Coincidentally, Wednesday are facing the Gas at the same time we face the Blades. Diego De Girolamo Played for both clubs. Here’s a view from a SU fan: So, there's a general pattern regards Sheff Utd this season. Overall the team are consistently average, no where near as good as the Wilder promotion side. However, this season our defence is always very strong, their only weakness is pace with other teams catching us on the counter but when the defence need to sit back and are put under pressure they've always consistently coped really well. Another issue this season has been our style of play, it's very disjointed in midfield. We often have 15 minutes where we pass the ball around with confidence and look a top two side then in the same match we have 15 minutes spells where we can't string three passes together and it's almost kick and rush football. The Wilder promotion team were so well drilled and consistently played simple, quick, pass and move possession football. The other big factor this season is that we can be playing average or even quite poorly then we have some high quality individuals who can score a goal out of the blue from nothing. The current team has far higher individual quality than the players in the Wilder promotion team. N'Diaye is one of the biggest talents at the club in decades, he's capable of producing magic and we think he'll take the PL by storm. Don't think our fans will feel over confident regards Tuesday because we remember during the Wilder promotion season, that was also near the end of the season. A vital game, we were big favourites and you turned up in that Wimbledon tennis style purple and green kit. You were quite impressive that match beating us 3-2, so we'll expect another tough game. Sheffield stuff A Green City People often think of Sheffield as an industrial city, but it’s actually one of the greenest cities in the UK. Sheffield has the highest ratio of trees to people in Europe - there are over two million across the city! Rolling down the river The name Sheffield comes from the River Sheaf, one of several rivers that run through the city, along with the River Don and the River Loxley. The lower part of the River Sheaf once formed two sides of the boundary of Sheffield Castle where Mary, Queen of Scots, was once held prisoner! Heavy metal You might have heard Sheffield being called the Steel City, due to its international reputation for steel production in the 19th century. Crucible is another innovation developed in Sheffield, which is where the Crucible Theatre gets its name from. The beautiful game Sheffield is home to the world’s oldest football club AND its second oldest - Sheffield FC was founded in 1857 and Hallam FC was founded just three years later. 5. All the world’s a stage Sheffield stars Did you know Sheffield has a walk of fame? The Sheffield Legends plaques outside the Town Hall pay tribute to local celebrities who have achieved national or international acclaim such as actor Sean Bean, Olympic athlete Jessica Ennis, and astronaut Helen Sharman, who was the first ever Briton in space! Music is the answer Sheffield is well known for its music scene and has produced acts such as Pulp, Def Leppard, Bring Me The Horizon, Arctic Monkeys, Reverend and The Makers, and The Human League. Pulp frontman, Jarvis Cocker, once fell out of a window on Division Street - there’s even a plaque commemorating the event! Sheffield is also home to iconic music venues such as The Leadmill, O2 Academy and Utilita Arena, as well as smaller venues such as Delicious Clam and Picture House Social. Pubs If you like proper beer and you're here early or staying over you're spoilt for choice. There is a cracking selection of pubs and breweries/brewery taps: Sheffield Tap - At the station. Decent beer selection if a little pricy! Triple Point brewery - 10 mins from the train station. Full of home fans usually, but still can get a beer in less than five mins. Also tends not to attract ********* as they don't sell cheap shite lager. Industry tap - five mins from station two from ground. - Cracking little place, DIPAs IPAs and stouts galore. All from top breweries. No fizzy shite. Grizzly grains brewery - 15 mins from the station, five mins from the ground. (same description as triple point in terms of d h’s) more of a warehouse with three benches tho. Vocation Tap Room - 15 from station, 10 from ground - Division Street. Its a vocation brewery tap room! Any fans staying the night get down to Kelham island - 15 mins walk from station 18 mins (current record walking from the ground).

Owl Visiting Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Best of luck, although I'm probably clutching at straws thinking they could still mess it up at this point.

I’m certain that we still needed a result there to secure survival and avoid it going down to the last day. That second half was one of the longest 45 minutes of football I can recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I remember going there for the playoffs when they needed a win to avoid relegation and we needed a win , from the division below , to take their place. Joe Jordan scared them and we drew a Desmond if memory serves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met a few on the train once and I knew a couple in the military and they were all bellends. Just read their forum and pretty light hearted banter but have read it over the years. The whole "We prefer the gas because like us we are the second biggest team in the city" lark usually comes out.

Aston Villa, to the delight of their fans, appeared to make zero effort to get a result against Blackburn earlier in the afternoon which meant us and Birmingham City were still in danger of relegation. Unless of course we could pull off a highly unlikely victory against Brighton who were hoping to secure the Championship title, they even had the winners podium at the game for the inevitable celebrations. Think they ended up getting pipped to the title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just looked at the table for 2016/17 it was indeed a lot closer at the bottom than I had remembered only 3 or 4 points separating 6 clubs, anyway, we won stayed up and are still in the Championship.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 dont really understand the ag about Blades to be honest. I spent some time in Sheffield in my younger days and United Fans always liked to portray themselves as the working class club and Wednesday as the middle class club. I watched a few games from their Kop End and was always made to feel quite welcome by the locals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
