Young fans take to Junior Blade bus

Posted on: Fri 01 Oct 2010

A group of enthusiastic young Blades fans travelled to watch their heroes play in style thanks to one of the club's organised coach trips.

Wearing their replica football shirts and scarves, Junior and Teen Blades travelled via coach on the first trip of this season to Pride Park to see United play Derby County on Saturday 11th September.

The youngsters, accompanied by a parent or guardian, received a free match ticket when they paid for coach travel to the game.

To qualify for the offer youngsters must be Junior or Teen Blade members. The cost of the coach trips will vary depending on the destination venue. More information will be published on the Blades website four weeks prior to the match.

Junior Blade coaches will be taking fans to see matches against Barnsley on 11th December, Norwich City on 28th December, Crystal Palace on 19th February, Queens Park Rangers on 2nd April and Preston North End on 16th April.

Lucy Birks, retail and membership officer, said: "For just £10 Junior Blades, aged one to 12, and Teen Blades, aged 13 to 15, can take advantage of exciting offers such as the away-match coach trips. It was a fantastic atmosphere on the coach trip to Pride Park and I would definitely encourage youngsters to bring their parents along to join in the fun. Watching your team play at away games has never been easier or more enjoyable."

Junior and Teen Blades can also enjoy discounts at theme parks and fabulous attractions such as Legoland Windsor. Members receive one free junior ticket to the Coventry City game on 30th October, discounted prices at home matches and a 10 per cent discount at the Blades Superstore. There are also exciting competitions to enter throughout the season.
