  1. Tickets for this are now on sale on the website https://tickets.swfc.co.uk/en-GB/events/swfc u23s v stocksbridge park steels/2025-12-3_19.45/hillsborough stadium?hallmap Never seen that happen before for dev squads, only pay on the gate?
  2. They're probably scared Supertram will terminate at Shalesmoor for all the matches.
  3. I work with a lot of Coventry lads and they're all saying the same thing, we're in the best possible position now despite the current dire situation on the pitch.
  4. Watching on the telly I saw either a yellow lighter or vape.
  5. My current walk to the ground would be about 4 hours because I live in Killamarsh - so I much prefer to get the bus into town and then jump on the tram
  6. Sorry I didn't mean it was 10 minutes from Hillsborough Corner to Neepsend I meant it's 10 minutes more than the current walk to the ground which is 10/15 minutes, i'd be more like 20/25 minutes depending which pub you're in. Some places like the New Barrack and Masons would end up being closer to a new ground in Neepsend than they are now to Hillsborough. Likewise I just meant that Penistone Road would still be the main trunk route for this section of the city, and we could all still use the same tram line but just get off at Langsett Road or Infirmary Road instead.
  7. If we move (I'm firmly in the redevelop current ground opinion), but if we really do have to move then I think brown-belt land in the top of Neepsend / Parkwood Springs is the place to go. Not only is it closer to town, its next door to the lively Neepsend and Kelham pub scene, and it's also on the same main road and tram line we currently have. But most importantly it's still close to Hillsborough - probably only 10 minutes more to walk from Hillsborough Corner than it is to walk to the ground now - so we can keep the community we have in S6 going whilst also absorbing a good chunk of town as we move closer.
  8. Forgemasters are currently building a new steelworks on the bit between the river and Weedon Street.
  9. It's Mantra by Bring Me The Horizon. Three of them are from Sheffield and one from Rotherham.
  10. I'll be watching from Paris. Made plans months ago expecting to still be boycotting.
  11. If anyone has an Uncle Kn*bhead there is still one seat free in the Family Area block N4
  12. If you're a fast walker you'll easily cover the 2 miles on Penistone Road from the ground to Shalesmoor in half an hour. It's flat and uninterrupted for the most part. Google Maps uses 3mph (or 20 minute miles) as its walking speed but most people are faster.
  13. A noon kick off on a Sunday and no public transport is all about trying to encourage fans to drive and not have a drink. But all that will happen now is everyone will be out earlier and more tanked up come kick off.
  14. A new location close to the M1 will be very ideal for us all that commute from within Sheffield on the tram and bus.
  15. If they could do enough remedial work on it to bring it back up to scratch it would make an ideal new safe standing area considering all the old seats have already been ripped out, it's a blank canvas to start again.
  16. I bought a programme for the 5,000th game last year but the last one I remember buying before that was the game against Wigan(?) in December 2013 which got abandoned because of the rain. It's actually covered in frayed edges and water damage from standing at the tram stop afterwards with it rolled up in my hand. Was this one of only about 2 or 3 matches we've had abandoned since WWII? It was also the last game I went to before turning 18 so you see my attention thereafter went to the bar and not the programme stall...
  17. Order of service from last year's Remembrance at Barker's pool. Last Post comes before the silence.
  18. Still a bit salty about the £50 they refunded me for four tops which will now cost me over £200
  19. I think this might actually be an influx of purchases because looking in blocks which have suddenly lost loads, it's scattered about and not systematic row removal
  20. NW2 on sale. Bring a brolly and a camping chair.
  21. Did P1 on the North actually sell or have they just taken it off sale? Cus there were quite a few together left in there
