echo beach Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Yes, and I'm old enough to remember that match! What a game to witness for Blades fans and for neutral football supporters, although I don't think there would have been many of those at Bramall Lane on that day. Pity we didn't have Match of the Day and recorders back then. echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Funny you never hear anyone from the blue side mentioning it. Yet, Boxing Day 1979, if you add up all those who say they were there, that Kop must have held half a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a lot trying to refute that fact and saying it was all ticket but actually that isn't true. Edited September 8, 2022 by Alextopman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in any official record books but a straw to grasp I suppose. Edited September 9, 2022 by Alextopman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way they managed to complete the northern league season once during the war and do you know who won?. Still nothing official and recognised in any records. Straw grasping.
