As the title says a great deal of credit has to go to the "Firbeck Blades" who were present and flying their flag for The Blades at the ashes series and who were there again in the crowd today against Ireland in the world cup.

There might not be much happening back here with United at the minute however it's nice to see this lot out there flying the flag never the less, and you have to have a huge amount of respect for them due to the significant costs of following England out in both Australia and India!

P.S - For those who don't know where Firbeck is, it's a smallish village near Worksop.

Well they have given as much good luck support wise for England as for us then! (England LOST to IRELAND ffs!!)

Was going to suggest they drop into S6 on there next tour but won't bother now...

Yeah mist have been when one Firbeck blade came in to bat at 4 and got stumped straight off for duck, and then the other Firbeck Blade who dropped a couple of easy ones in the out field

Good on 'em.
Knowing the foreigners, they'll think that with a name like Blades, they support an Ice Hockey team.
