Fox92 Posted 7 May 2012 Posted 7 May 2012 And I'm not fussed about what the lad from Worksop thinks. I was just saying that it seems to be a rarity for people to prefer them over us. I don't really prefer any, just like other derbies such ad Wolves/West Brom, then again I don't "hate" any club either... I agree that both Bramall Lane and Hillsborough are good grounds, older grounds, that I prefer though. Its probably because I speak to Wednesfay fans more, and its them who usually throw banter back at me... Such as, on Saturday night, I saw some mates who support Wednesday, and straight off the 1-3 and 1-4 results were brought up... I'll be visiting Hillsborough next season though (maybe Bramall Lane as well). Out of all my visits to Hillsborough, I've seen us win twice! I knew you'd win promotion as soon as Dave Jones got the job anyway. Top manager, Ive always liked him.
Kitchandro Posted 7 May 2012 Posted 7 May 2012 Some interesting views. I would like to see home fans in the Upper West at Hillsborough personally because it is without doubt one of the best views in the ground. I think it is a waste giving it to away fans. I take your point in it being too big for an average Championship game but with a big support inside it can be fantastic. You can still stand up there too. The fact you can get beer is one advantage of the Bramall Lane end (I am surpsrised nobody mentioned that) but the rest of it IMO is pretty poor in comparison. Of course I meant Dave Jones! Rob Jones doesn't get in the team anymore and with a P12 W10 D2 L0 record he has been a revelation. And I'm not fussed about what the lad from Worksop thinks. I was just saying that it seems to be a rarity for people to prefer them over us. I tend to do my drinking beforehand as pints are usually pretty pricey in grounds. But yes that is a good point. Like I said, I think Hillsborough is the best ground in the country, from a home fans perspective I'm sure it's brilliant.

AdamN Posted 8 May 2012 Posted 8 May 2012 Not holding a grudge is one thing, arselicking him when his cocky piece of shit of a penalty cost us our chances of promotion is embarrassing. I think you're the one who needs to let go, he's not popular and with good reason, accept it. Fail to see how being happy for someone is 'arse licking', but whatever.
General Smuts Posted 10 May 2012 Author Posted 10 May 2012 Got tickets for Boro tomorrow and in Sheffield on Monday. THEY'RE SHITTING THEMSELVES, THEY'RE SHITTING THEMSELVES, SHEFFIELD UNITED ARE SHITTING THEMSELVES!
Lamby Posted 10 May 2012 Posted 10 May 2012 Stevenage will win tomorrow imo, home advantage and they've beaten Utd there before this season
Father Ted Posted 10 May 2012 Posted 10 May 2012 Hoping for Stevenage to come up Would be a great story and a cracking away day!

Fox92 Posted 10 May 2012 Posted 10 May 2012 It aint, the toilets flooded when I went there...had to wade your way through Sounds like when I went to Grimsby Town away when we played them in 2002... (Great day though, had a soft spot for Grimsby ever since).
StanSP Posted 23 May 2012 Posted 23 May 2012 This sickens me so much. Ex-Plymouth goalkeeper Luke McCormick is to join Swindon Town on a trial basis when he is released from prison.The 28-year-old was sentenced to seven years and four months in jail in October 2008 for killing two children in a crash. McCormick will be released in June after serving three and a half years and is set to join Swindon on their pre-season tour of Italy. He has been training with the club since January while on day release. McCormick admitted causing the deaths of Arron Peak, 10, and Ben Peak, eight, and driving with excess alcohol. The brothers, from Greater Manchester, died in the crash on the M6 in Staffordshire on 7 June 2008. McCormick made 157 appearances for Argyle but the club terminated his contract by mutual consent after he had been charged and bailed. Commenting on Swindon's decision to take on the keeper, chairman Jeremy Wray told BBC Wiltshire: "Our sympathy is with the family of the victims - that will never change. There's been a complete tragedy and lives have been destroyed. "This guy has done his time in prison. He wants to come back and give something back to society. "The best way we can do that is to rehabilitate, and that's the role Swindon can play. It's a benefit we've thought about in the long term. "It's going to be a big debate and I'm not frightened of it. "Luke might have done three and a half years but he undoubtedly wakes up with a life sentence every day and thinking about what he's done. "Does he try and do something positive with the rest of his life and give something back? If one life is saved in the future because of that, then it's the right action." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18164015

AKCJ Posted 23 May 2012 Posted 23 May 2012 We've just signed Chris Kirkland Didn't know whether to post it in Championship or League One thread I actually feel sorry for you! We nick Ben Marshall and you end up with Kirkland!
Fox92 Posted 24 May 2012 Posted 24 May 2012 Kirkland is sadly injury prone. He isn't a bad goalkeeper, and if it wasn't for his constant injuries, he would have played for England by now.
Fox92 Posted 24 May 2012 Posted 24 May 2012 He has played for England....once Yeah, I know. But before his injuries, he was regarded as a bright goalkeeper, hence why Liverpool brought him from Coventry for £6,000,000. I meant he would have played for England, more than once...
