A few false dawns but you've finally done it, congrats and absolutely fully deserved. Hoping we get a chance to join you but as you know it's a lottery. Whatever happens, hope you enjoy it. Good luck securing the title - I'm sure you'll do it

No probs. Anyone taking the option of drinking in the West Street area, Dev Cat, Bath Hotel & Red Lion are good options for the real ale fans (plus there's a Brew Dog on Division Street). Great Guinness is available in the Grapes (just off West Street) & Fagan's on Broad Lane - which is on the...

To Hillsborough corner, yes. But if you want to get to the ground, you'll need to switch to a yellow route tram, which you can do after travelling into town. I always change at Cathedral but anytime before the routes diverge is fine

Sheffield Tap used to have a strict "no football shirt" policy on matchdays - might be worth bearing in mind for those intending visiting

As a Wednesday :D fan, I'd probably take a point next week. We aren't so much "hit n miss" as unable to put 2 lots of 45 minutes together in the same match. We're profligate in front of goal this season, whereas last season once we'd got going we were pretty tight at the back and could be relied...

Their continued presence is brought up at every supporters steering group, as the feeling on social media, forums and conversations in real life would be that they are no longer welcome. The club is fairly insistent that it's more like a 50/50 split between the pro and anti camps. We've...

Corrected

Huge credit to those of you who were there last night, must've been hard to keep going after all that was going on but you did, and it was very impressive. Would've liked another goal or two to finish you off as the two goal cushion could become precarious with a Brighton goal. Would still put...

This tweet from a local journo sums him up... https://twitter.com/jonathanbuchan/status/730696500544737281

Fat Cat, Kelham Island Tavern, Shakespeare, Ship Inn - only 5 minute walk from Shalesmoor Tram stop. If you're coming by choo choo and not wearing colours, there's the Sheffield Tap in the station. Nearer the ground, Hillsborough Hotel or New Barrack Tavern. Any closer and it's home fans only

79/80 season, Demblades were flying at the top of the 3rd division having been relegated the season before. We were a way off the pace in 4th, so United were red hot favourites ahead of the Boxing Day fixture, our first competive Steel City Derby in donkeys years. This was the game everyone in...

Miles away - 72k back in the 30s is the record. In my lifetime we got 49k for the Boxing Day Massacre but in modern times the record would be the promotion clincher v Wycombe (38k From memory) We allocated them the triangle (where the Sky studio will be on Friday) and we sold the rest of the...

Sales were suspended over the weekend with just a few restricted view left. Announcement due this afternoon regarding remaining and possibly additional tickets being released (hence speculation about lower tier tickets being sold to Wednesday fans) The last few tickets for Monday got snapped up...

My Aylesbury (that's not too far away?) based mate travels up for evening games regularly - leaves at 3:30, safely parked up by 7, but that doesn't take Friday M1 Traffic Hell + heavier than usual match day traffic into account. Good luck getting here on time but obviously not for the match...

Haha, I suppose it is quite disconcerting for newcomers to be greeted with "duck" or the even more particular to Sheffield "love".
