Hope he likes the look of the place. Declaring an interest slightly as I work at the uni - but it's a great city to be a student in. 

I’ll second this - not as a student, but I used to work in the north part of the city and looking after the students was one of the many duties (I was based at Broomhall).

To say it’s Yorkshire, Sheffield is alright.

Cheers

he has an offer but has not yet visited , so the cup draw was perfect opportunity to do so.

I think he will like the city

Just enjoying a pint in Sheffield right now (I live close by). Driving in about 20 minutes ago, 5 Rovers fans trying to dodge the traffic crossing the ring road. 

The invasion has started early.

I got here in 2006 😉

Non payment of transfer instalments should also be automatic points deduction rather than automatic promotion to the PL!

Cheating barstewards.

I'm really looking foward to it

 

I don't live local anymore and have a 12 yr old who plays grassroots on saturdays so we only make a few games a season...although we can usually make the yorkshire away games

So happy that my lad is going to experience a big game as he amazingly supports rovers even though every single one of his mates 'support' city,utd,liverpool etc and give him a bit of stick for it...hopefully we can get a result

It’s great for students especially…

[GHR]

Superb city is Sheffield, often overlooked as it's not seen as glamorous as the other large Northern cities but it more than holds its own. Excellent array of pubs, proper football grounds and the home of snooker. Can't ask for more from a place really.

I see selective quotes from this thread have made it on to a Sheffield United forum. It’s got them so rattled it’s hilarious 😂 

Didn’t think our friends from across the Pennines were so thin skinned.

One of them called us a “beige” club. I mean if we’re a nothing club what the fuck does that make them? Zero history in comparison

I'm impressed they can read. Sheep shaggers.

I wonder if they've handed over their bank details yet to the prospective buyer.

Historical stadium is Bramall Lane, the oldest stadium in the World still hosting professional football. 
One of only two grounds anywhere to have hosted an England football international, an England test match and an FA Cup Final.

We're a far bigger club than that soul-less shitpit

This is aimed at no-one on here as it's a concept rife everywhere in the game these days, but bottle up this feeling for every time someone suggests the Cup is a distraction these days, a throw back to the era of keepers without gloves, Inside Rights and lifting over the turnstiles. It's well over two days off yet and we may come away with nothing to show, but I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve. Absolute fucking dynamite is this competition.

Best part of football bar none. Maybe European competition draws but I’m too young to have experienced that properly so couldn’t say.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The FA Cup is the competition that made our Club's name famous...was considered a higher prize than the League title in days of old within the Town.

Lets revive our Tradition.

It can't be easy being by far the smallest club in a two-club city. 

I suppose their real rivals have always been Barnsley and Rotherham.
