I don't know anyone else who supports both teams. Is there anyone out there? Brought up in Meersbrook, I naturally first started supporting the Blades and used to go on Saturdays when it was 25p to stand on the Kop. Then I started going on the Kop at Hillsborough aswell, basically because I felt sorry for them because they were in Div 3 at the time. Ever since then, I've just supported both.

thats not natural,you need help

It could have been worse........He could have supported Leeds !!

I've always been a Wednesday fan, but when I was a lad, I used to go to Hillsborough one week and Bramall Lane the next.

Both teams were in the old first division then, so you could see a top level game every Saturday.

I must confess, I've always found it a bit pointless and juvenile how fans of the two Sheffield sides profess to hate each other's teams so much. Although I'd naturally prefer to see Wednesday come out on top, I'm always glad to see United win as well.

The only exception of course is during the derby games.

Never understood this football thing. People can get soooo uptight about it too!

United and Wednesday are both Sheffield teams, so shouldn't everyone support both? If not....why?

Remember...it's just a game!!!!

You're quite right. Besides that, by supporting just one team you are shutting yourself off from the whole history of the other. Also, if one team isn't doing too well you can colsole yourself with the relative good fortunes of the other.

Come on you Blades, er Owls. Actually I watch out for the results off all South Yorkshire clubs. Doncaster are doing well.

It is a scientifically proven fact that you can only support one football team.
Sorry but have to agree with kirky, you do need help.

In Sheffield there shouldn't be a problem 'cos there's only one team to support and thats United. The retards in S6 are merely there for entertainment value of the amusing kind.

By the way glaham, I used to go on't Kop at t'Lane when it was 1s 6d for kids and a season ticket used to cost £1 10s !!
Adults £3.

Agreed, but there's a big difference between good humoured banter and those who won't even write (or say) the other team's name. Now, that's just immature schoolyard stuff.

Of course when it comes down to it you can only support one team but, as you say, there's nothing wrong with wanting both Sheffield teams to prosper.

How can u support both they hate each other??
nope, Wednesday fam maself, always habe been always will be!! :D

Couldn't agree with you more. Thats why its easy just not to say Sheffield Wendy.

Blade here! You can't do both!!!!!!

freak of nature - you need examining

I've always classed myself as a Blade but when i was growing up if i wanted to go to a match i had to watch Wednesday as both my brothers supported them and my mum wouldn't let me go to the lane on my own

but i enjoyed it that much i wanted to go more than my brothers and since then i've always liked to see Wednesday do well

except on Derby day LOL

I Was First Runner Up For Miss Sheffield United 1964

1st RUNNER UP MISS SHEFFIELD UNITED 1964

I Supported Both Teams

Never understood this football thing. People can get soooo uptight about it too!

Remember...it's just a game!!!!

Simple, Sheffield United kicked first-class cricket out of Bramall Lane in 1973. I've heard many say it should have been the oher way round!

I have been a Man Utd fan since 1968 (ducks to avoid the flak), but as a Sheffield lad my ideal premiership table would be:

1 - Man Utd
2 - Wednesday
3 - The Blades
4 - Rotherham
5 - Doncaster
6 - Barnsley

and the bottom 3

Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelski

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Most ManU fans see their world through rose-tinted glasses — not s••t coloured glasses!

Your a Blade or an Pig, you can't be both.

You can support both! I am a true blue and went to my first match at Hillsborough aged 4 and a half on my own (can you believe that now!). I started going to Bramall Lane with a mate just to take the p**s and he came to Hillsborough to do the same but after a time we both ended up wanting each others team to win. It was still "deadly" rivalry on the few occasions we happened to be in the same league. Isn't life FUNNY!!!

Hilarious.

ah, but, ceevee, there's a quote, from the late, great "Saint Bill of Shankly"
which goes:-

"football is not a matter of life and death, I can assure you, it's far mre important than that!"

I transpose another quote he once said of Liverpool: "There are two teams in Sheffield; Wednesday and Wednesday reserves!"

not quite ;) ;) it was "United, and United reserves! ;) ;)

I like to see both the Blade's and Owl's do well so I might be what you would call a BlaOwl or OwlBla :loopy: :hihi:

I despair of all you people. How can you make jokes about someone who says he supports both Wednesday and that other team? Isn't it obvious he needs help. Many years ago I went to see a famous goalkeeper at the other team's place of w**k (he was well known for being able to hurl the ball over the halfway line) this is the first time I've admitted it and believe me it took some doing. Mind you, I used to go to watch the cricket, but thats different.

To all of you lot knocking the Blades.....There will only be one Sheffield club in the Premier league next season....and its not that lot from Hillsborough!

Like knowing how to win a cup final, like knowing how to win a fa cup semi-final, & like knowing how to win a play-off final......:P

But not knowing how to win a local derby :P :P

Hi mad "un :D

Regards CB

To support both teams was quite common, a lot of people used to go to see united one week, and wednesday the other, i think the fact its £25.00 stopped a lot of this..............Now they just watch Wednesday

Are you sure you've got the name right, shouldn't it be waffLer. ????

Going back to the 60's, before the advent of local radio and teletext etc., if the two clubs were playing on the same occasions, one went to the other ground to keep a check on your particular team's progress when they were playing away. They did this via the scoreboard as the score was relayed every 15 minutes. I remember the old scoreboard at Bramall Lane in front of the cricket pavilion, it had a 'red' indicator and a 'white' indicator. Sometimes the numbers' man would try a 'wind-up' by putting the 1-0 the wrong way round!

What's going on,are you sure there are two Sheffield teams,what did you say their name is,Wednesday,bloody 'ell,we learn something every day. Sheffield Wednesday,funny name,are you sure? Which division do they play in?

I thought the heading should have been, "I support United on Wednesday".

Isn't it amazing how threads can change. We start off with a perfectly innocent thread about someone with a mental problem that makes them believe there are 2 teams in Sheffield worth supporting, and it very quickly turns into a slanging match between supporters of the super Owls and that other mob. Lets get back on topic. I'd suggest that Glaham's problems are due to his date of birth but mines exactly the same (although a few years earlier) and I've turned out allright, qweeeeek, nurg, morning doctor, glaglagla, thessssssik.
