As a woman of a certain age (to coin a phrase!) I can certainly see where you’re coming from and appreciate that dark ages really can form character, for both players and supporters; and can also provide better (or least more long-lasting) memories than star-boys winning every week (however delightful!).
Having supported through thick, thin and very thin times with the Blades, I suppose all we can say is “it’s never boring . . .”
Thanks Sue. Much of it meant with tongue firmly in cheek. It's just funny to me how we have a generation now whose "bad times" might be, in the grand scheme, my "good times".
Here I was before reading this thinking you had some ‘in the know’ stuff on the incoming ownership cartel, instead I was reminded of a recurring nightmare, Don Givens missing penalties.. thanks for that! ;)
Thanks, Sam – great idea for a column.
