Care homes across Sheffield have been emptied this weekend.
 

Rather appropriately for today....
the 1912 "top team" could really be Barnsley and not the grunters.
Barnsley won the FA CUP that year, so does that count for more than league position?
 
wednesdays 20k one game a season fans out today they dont support their club 99% of the season then all we hear is that theyve 44k at wembley today theyve got the most part time fans in the country
 
Best club in each county:

On that basis Leeds finished higher than us this season so they're currently the best team in Yorkshire, at least until the new season starts

Tis true… until the fixtures come out anyway
 
Which Sheffield team has the most fans?


Research has shown Sheffield United are the Steel City's most popular club on social media. And the research found the Blades were the most popular of the Steel City's teams with 2.3 million followers compared to the Owls' comparatively small 854,000
