    Moving to the Upper Tier to improve home support/atmosphere

    You've probably already seen this, but I'm trying to get a good number of fans to move to the BLUT for an upcoming home match, with a view to more this season and hopefully on a permanent season ticket basis long term.

    The aim is to get a group together up there to start the chants. It could have a big positive impact on our home support.

    The response so far indicates over 130 are willing to do this.

    I'll keep this thread updated with any key details.

    We’ll played mate. Sitting in the Westfield I’d sooner have Blades sat next to me than away fans and there were definitely more in the BLUT last weekend.

    I was up there and I thought that too. Wonder why that was the case?

    I noticed the Westfield Corner chanted a few times, that's an encouraging sign. If we get a group in the area I'm targeting just right of centre I'm sure they'll join in with a lot of the chants, same goes for the South Stand.

    Thought that too. But it must be some of the thousands of free tickets we give away for each home game.

    Excellent idea,one I fully back,the BLUT should never have away fans in it again,vocal backing from 3 different areas would be great

    The free tickets they give out could present a problem at some stage. It seems that the central back 5 rows are set aside as freebies, I noticed a few academy players in that area v Ipswich. It also seems like a chunk of the block I'm targeting could have been set aside as freebies for the Reading game, although that's only happened in this last week before the game.

    I'm hoping we can circumvent this potential issue by sorting our tickets out well in advance. For the other 3 home games currently on sale, pretty much every seat in the target area is available.

    No brainer - its the best view in the ground and was never sure why we gave it to away fans in the first place

    Since Bradford at home last season, I' already decided BLUT is the place to be. As others have previously said the view is outstanding and obviously provides the quickest access into Bramall Lane for most as well (more supping time down London Road!)

    You may need to focus on a particular block to make sure your chant chorus are close together. But yeah, absolutely count me in for this initiative!
