Nice one but what would they be called?

 

Sheffield Wunited

Sheffield Unitesday

Sheffield Wedted

???

Sheffield United and Wednesday

SUWFC

Blowls

Blawls

Doh!

 

I think we need to put this decision on hold for another 200 years, the naming would be too complex.

Does anyone else relish the day when we see the score Wednesday 0 - Rushden & Diamonds 1???

 

Cant wait

[mikey 10]

Or will it be

 

United and Wednesday 1 - Rushden and Diamonds 0

Perish the thought!

With both Sheffield clubs in massive debt and the unlikely event that a Russian businessman will take over one of them, it is only a matter of time before the clubs merge. This may not happen for 10,20,30 or 50 years, but it WILL happen.

 

There will need to be a new ground built so both sets of supporters will turn up, and new colours, (perhaps blue and red stripes). And a completely new name. (maybe Sheffield City).

 

The threat of Wednesday and United fans boycotting a merged club is hardly worth worrying about. One thing that is true of all football supporters, they have the memory span of a goldfish. Within weeks of a merger both sets of fans will have forgotten their differences and be right behind the new club, despite what they might say now.

 

So to the future, going to watch Sheffield City wearing those famous blue and white stripes in front of crowds of 50,000 plus, and only 20 euros to get in !!!!!!!

DOH you're right... i was confusing Sheff U with Sheff City FC.

 

 

Obviously a big fan then.

 

 

This topic gets thrown up every now and then.

Always by someone who knows nothing about football and its supporters.

 

It will never happen.

 

Ground sharing is a more likely option but again will never happen because one club or the other will resent giving up a degree of independance.

 

Just spent half an hour reading thro' these posts and the lack of knowledge from so called supporters is incredible.

The point was-- if people cannot get basic facts correct why are they commenting and quoting incorrect information.

Well Andyman you should have been more specific and corrected the erroneous facts/information in your response, rather than making a general criticism and then contributing nothing that has not already been written in previous posts.
