I got tickets via a Leeds connection and ended up sat directly next to the tunnel, front row. Had to sit very still for a long time, warned the wife not to celebrate and there I was ,on my feet after the 1st!.
Had to stay until the ground cleared as everyone behind knew we were Blades. Ended up shaking the players hands after they came back from clebrating with you lot in the corner.

Yes brought goosebumps that
 
I was directly behind the Seaman save,at eye level.Great save but he sounds such a gormless tw*t when he speaks it surprises me he had the gumption to do owt that involved being energetic.
I was also at The G.Man before the Hull game and the uprising at the end was fantastic to see, hear and be a part of.

I never saw it in large format
the anticipation of waiting for the van to turn up at the newsagents if you hadn’t seen final score or the race into town after the match to catch the first out from the guy on high st

Final score didn't give you the details and the league tables. Joy when you won but
I didn't always buy it when we lost.
