You have to wonder where our league position would be if fans had been let into BP for matches.

Chris Wilder recently said: "As proved this season, football is just not the same without fans - Unitedites have the ability to turn losses into draws and draws into wins - I cannot stress enough how important the fans are"

This was probably the case at Sheffield United but more so at BP. Some of those losses would have been draws and many of the draws wins. I'm not saying that with Holloways teams and the current one under Hurst were promotion teams, but with fans there, we wouldn't be staring relegation in the face.

Many years ago it was said that the fans were worth at least a goal a game at BP so add that to the scores at BP and it would have made a great difference. That extra 1 goal under Holloway would have given 8 points and 14 points under Hurst. 6 draws and 8 wins, 22 extra points would have meant an upper mid-table position which would have been about right.

This is what the fans do to encourage an improved Town performance, a 12th man at every home game.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Codswallop. Sheff Utd are bottom because they got found out and lost one of the best keepers in the league. It happens so frequently where a team gets promoted, has a great start to their first season, drops off at the end and then has a torrid time the next season.

We're bottom because we signed too many players rather than a small group of good players, had a manager that lost the plot, turmoil off the pitch and a new manager that came in and told all the players they were shite and then half of them are still better than what he signed. Fans wouldn't make a difference, and if you think being booed, insulted and groaned at for 90 minutes would be motivating for the players, which is invariably what happens at BP, then you are living in a fantasy world.

Hardly codswallop.

You can’t prove it either way but fans inside stadiums certainly effect outcomes and decisions making...the amount of away wins and freak results this year isn’t just coincidence.

Would we be any better? Probably not, we prepared to fail and fail is what we did. We all know who is to blame. Impossible to dismiss the notion of no fans being codswallop though.

Would we have conceded an extra goal in each away game?

Each team has the same story, but it is frustrating that we played 2 of our relegation rivals away in the brief period that fans were allowed in and we lost both.

We are bottom for a reason. Or multiple reasons from the How Not To Run A Football Club manual. Simple as that . Absolute embarrassing shambolic season.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

That bloke in the Lower Stones shouting 'you're flipping excrement Town' could have made all the difference.

No, it was physically impossible for us to concede more goals than we already had in some away games.....
