Cant think of another nickname in the whole of the football league that is so nice to shout out and gives such a feeling of satisfaction for supporters.

I know we're biased but I never remember 'dolphins' being chanted and if you were a Northampton supporter for instance would you enjoy shouting Cobblers?

I hate the fact we're known as the seagulls. Everyone hates seagulls. They making annoying noises early in the morning and shit everywhere.

I'm not sure what pride we're meant to take from Seagulls?!

I think not. Much as I love screaming it, there are a few better ones out there.

So do supporters just shout Blades, Blades Blades. Dont sound very inspiring to me.

I guess not but then it would be a pretty uninspired group of fans that just chant their nickname over and over..... and over. Some variation is allowed. Just a simple come on you Blades! makes it sounds a little better for a start.

I may be wrong but I can't think of another nickname that's as widely used by journalists and the rest of football. Newspapers and other teams' programmes routinely refer to us by our nickname and that's unusual. My daughter bumped into Jonny Wilkinson in Marsailles airport this summer and he asked her a rugby question and she said, sorry, but she was actually a football supporter. "What team?" "Brighton." "Ah, the Seagulls."

Can't imagine him saying "Ah the Blades" if she came from Sheffield.

Almost as inspiring as a bunch of gobby northerners spending 90 minutes just shouting Leeds Leeds Leeds :) Least its better than shouting Peacocks or whites though I guess

Seagulls are crap. I'd far rather still be The Dolphins or quite literally anything else except for The Slugs, The Cockroaches or The Pigeons.
