As part of our ongoing long-term strategy to enhance the club's infrastructure, United can confirm another significant step forward in our off the field plans.
After two areas on the Bramall Lane footprint became available on the market, the club moved swiftly to purchase Boundary Corner, situated on the corner of Cherry Street and Shoreham Street, as well as Cutlers Corner, positioned on the corner of John Street and Shoreham Street.
The purchase of both strips of land ensures that everything on the Bramall Lane site will be together again under the Sheffield United umbrella.
United's chief executive officer, Stephen Bettis, said: "This is more fantastic news for the club and another positive move as we look to improve all areas of our current infrastructure.
"It has been a long-standing ambition for Prince Abdullah and the board for the club to own all areas of the stadium, and whilst we have had to be patient, this announcement gives the club further scope to improve the Bramall Lane site.
"Naturally, when the land became available, our first thought was to quickly secure the sites to join up all areas of Bramall Lane which is now back fully under the club's stewardship.
"In terms of the long-term plans, there are many possibilities available to us and conversations will take place shortly to decide how we best utilise this exciting opportunity to further develop the ground.
"Following the other hugely important infrastructure announcements, this is again another example of a long-term legacy from the funds generated by being in the Premier League."
The news comes just weeks after the club confirmed the significant redevelopment of the hotel on Bramall Lane, which is currently well underway, and the purchase of land at the HSBC Sports & Social site for a new first team training ground.
