Excellent.

I'll be arriving around 12 and have a couple of hours before I can get in my hotel. Might as well do the 'tourist' bit!

Once I'm checked into the digs I'll be doing the 'boozing' bit.

It might be worth emailing the club to find out if the "Legends of the Lane" Museum is going to be open during your visit or not.

I've only ever been for a look around it at the pre-season open day. Not during the week.

I'll be going down to the ground to buy my match ticket in the afternoon anyway so I'll find out when I get there.

Edit - In fact, on tickets, if I buy a ticket for the Kop is the 'done thing' to sit in the seat specified on the ticket or is there a bit of a free for all going on (excuding season ticket seats, of course)?

There are usually plenty of spare seats on The Kop for a normal match.
You will probably be able to choose a single allocated seat roughly in the area where you want one.
If not, wait until a few minutes before kick off and move to a "better" seat if there's one available.

WTF! - That's not how it's done at all Jaggy. Ale first, surely - just after parking slot secured.
 
I think the club are missing an opportunity here. Remember the old social club? (its the museum now young uns).
Used to be packed before a game and must have took a fair few £s. I know theres the Tunnel Bar but the only time I have been in it wasn't very populated. Due to it not being that big it must have limited turnover.
Easy solution for me would be to stick the legends display in the bar area and reopen the social club.
Screens could show any live football or Blades matches.
Entrance gained by producing your season/membership card.

I agree. And they served greasy chip butties in the middle of the bar.

There was an even older social club at the Lane in the old cricket pavillion complete with Bier Keller and Norman the steward
I spent some time in there in my early drinking days

I remember being in there one day and Russell Black and Don Peattie were sat close by. All they could talk about was which women they had and which women they hadn't shagged!

Aye. I may have a couple of pints in the early afternoon but I'm wandering down to the ground as well to buy my ticket early. Will also have a look at the museum if it's open. The club shop too.
The pub crawl proper will commence once the bag is dumped. No parking slot as I'm travelling by train. Asded bonus is I don't need to drive next morning!
Are all or any of the pubs previously discussed likely to be busy post match, seeing as it's a Tuesday night?
My hitlist at the moment is looking like.
Bell Jar
Red Lion
Sheaf Island
Rutland
Cremorne
Golden Lion

I would avoid the Bell Jar. "Fucking shite" wouldn't do it justice.

Subject of Beer.

I love real ale. What I was brought up on was Sam Smiths and Tetleys. Reliable cool and smooth it didn't taste too hoppy. I'm a 50 year old Yorkshireman. What passes for real ale now is unpredictable home brew that tastes of soil. I think its what youngish monied 'entrepreneurs' have brought with them from London when they quit their jobs 'in the city', flogged their flats and upsized in South Yorks.

In Sheffield its ubiquitous, from the family that brought you A4e for God's sake.

Too many different beers on in a pub, they can't all be fresh now can they? that was the rule of thumb back in the day and it still stands. I love real ale so when in Sheffield I tend to stick to lager.

Today's real ale is too citrusy for my liking but Jaipur is a beer I'll go a long way to find!

I wouldn't do em in that order. You could spend more time walking than drinking ;-)
