Sheffield fans in hospitality today

[Les Lawrence]

Are we expecting another Everton game with the United fans,in the hospitality areas?Surely the club as learned it's lesson

[CaptJohn]

I think you can almost guarantee it. There were a couple on sale at half price recently from a Blade who had bought them but had then secured tickets in the away end. I was considering hospitality today with my wife but that post changed my mind. I don't want to get caught up in any of that nonsense.

It’s almost certain that they’ll be in there and if they win /score you’d assume it’ll be very difficult for them to contain themselves. Especially after what is likely to be an afternoon on the beer.

Will need very close policing and management by the club and I can’t say I’ve heard of that in respect to hospitality before. Can understand why CaptJohn steered clear.

[BurnleyFC]

They must have money to burn because they’ll be going home upset.

Either that or they’re just really keen to celebrate our promotion with us.

[Spike]

Surely our “Safety team” are responsible enough to have everything under control

Club's take on away fans in hospitality


Hospitality lounges are mixed. Away fans must act discreetly and respectfully at all times. Celebrations for the away team are not allowed under any circumstances.

Please note that NO AWAY CLUB COLOURS are to be worn in any part of the home stands or hospitality areas. Match day staff may enquire if you have any away supporters in your group. This is to ensure the safety of your guests and those in the lounge that you will be using.

Home fans bringing away fans into hospitality must ensure that their guests understand these rules.

The only issue I have ever seen in hospitality was when one of our own young yobboes pushed past my 90 year old mother to try and wind up an Everton fan. Happily he doesn't come any more.

Hospitality lounge was full of Leeds fans in the recent fixture and there was no trouble at all.
The only games I heard where there were incidents last season were Everton and Newcastle.

Difference today I suppose is the importance of the game but hopefully it will be fine.

Hope all's ok,but I've heard a rumor there's quite a lot going in, bought them earlier in season ready for there own promotion party!I'm sure they will be fine watching our party instead.

I don't know about Sheffield United fans but there are almost 400 people in Jimmy Mac Hospitality today, when most of the season there have been between 120 & 200. It's already filling up, mainly with a very large party of Americans.

Everton yes but no trouble with the Geordies - a few handbags with the Arsenal cock-er-nee boys.

Not many Sheffield in there, unless disguising it well
