As a Stoke fan exiled to Sheffield, very much looking forward to saturday. Should be a good match too.
A heads up, for those visiting, there is a new sports bar near the station called extra time, formerly spearmint Rhino for those who know the city. It does a job and will have the early kick off on etc. No dancers though, but it is only 10 mins or from the lane.
Up the Potters.

Thank you for the heads up, we have never been before, we are comeing up on the train, are we going have any issues getting about the town or getting in places? Do you think we will be penned in and marched around places by the police? |

Do you think we will be penned in and marched around places by the police? No I dont think so. I'd avoid the pubs on London road near the ground as they are typically home fans only and drink nearer the station or in the city centre. The city centre is only 5-10 minutes up the hill from the station. For the ale drinkers there is the rutland arms near the station or the sheffield tap, the pub inn the station itself. |

Wonder if the pub is going to be just away fans do you think they will be mixed. |

Do you think we will be penned in and marched around places by the police? As we've sold out and I expect quite a few will be letting the train take the strain (I will) I'd expect to see a few bobbies to be out and about on Saturday. Whether you'll get marched around will depend on how many arrive by train and how the bobbies view the potential for fun and games. Sheff U are no mugs at home and will gladly oblige if anyone goes looking for it. As someone else has mentioned it's perhaps best to avoid the pubs on London Road. If you intend to just go for a good day out and show some respect to the locals you'll be fine. |

Last time i went in the Howard they had loads of buckets all over the place to catch the rain coming in through the ceiling.... Better off walking up the hill a few minutes. A few half decent pubs up there. I prefer the Graduate or the Norfolk Arms both are near to the Station. |

Maybe they have fixed there roof problem now I'd hope so anyway, I was told graduate is another good pub too will see what Howard is like first |

Defo just after a good day out and a couple of nice drinks, not looking for any trouble, just didnt want to be stuck in one place with all of us |

Has there been any news on Sima? It’d be nice if he could be on the bench at least.

The bookies fancy a home win.
Sky Bet
11/10 Sheffield United
23/10 Draw
13/5 Stoke
One thing for sure is we will will get pushed back in a way we haven't been since the Fulham game.
We are going to need to hang tough if we are to get anything from this game

I’d say that despite a great last performance they’ll start this as favourites and a draw will be a good result. I can see Allen and possibly Thompson both being rested due to them playing in internationals with another game on Tuesday
Davies
Wilmot
Souttar
Chester
Smith
Thompson
Sawyers
Tymon
Powell
Vrancic
Brown

Anyone remember the 0-0 cup game in about 82. Masive following but couldn't see a thing behind those pillows.
