Unless I’m missing something , it appears from the club website that sutv will not be showing the match anywhere .

Can anyone confirm or correct this ?

It says

SUTV (in Unsold Markets or Non-Televised in UK)

So to me that says it is on, but you'll need to "be in another country" to watch it. Not sure which countries you need to be in when you fly NordAir to get there

Referee Anthony Backhouse his first league game of the season.

He did the Cup game between Leeds and Boro in midweek.

Watched that one. Can't say I recall him doing anything out of line

Yes that's right. Sky sports+ has taken over (for a load of cash and no replays...).

So you'll need to be abroad as a few have said

I’m used to watching our matches from my other residences such as the ones in Luxembourg and Dallas Texas as I did in our last season in the Championship .

However , I can see nothing on the SUTV site at the moment which gives me that opportunity . Please advise me how to go about it if you know otherwise

Please see my response to tyke1889 and I would welcome any further input you may be able to provide .

In respect of Sky sports + , I have access to that but it is not showing tomorrow’s match as being available and I understand that this will apply to all 3 pm. Saturday kick offs .

Foxy Has put in opening thread on SUTV in unsold territories, so im sure it will be.

Maybe log out, travel overseas to an unsold territory and then log back in and then it may just magically show up

Thanks . I’ll try it but never had to do so before so not 100% confident it will work .

Game dayyyyy!!!!

Time to pick your scores

I'm going for a sit up and take notice big 5-1 win to the mighty red and white wizards.

UTB

Can I just say, I’m a big fan of the QPR home kit of the blue ( the light blue and not the shitty pig’s dark blue) and white hoops. With the white shorts, white socks.

Always loved it.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

I feel like there’s a real buzz in the air surrounding the steel city this morning… 3-1 Blades!

Cheeky flutter: Blades win + Hamer to score at 4/1

It’s that time again!
First home game of the season, always one of my favourite days of the year.
My first was 1965, home to Aston Villa, my Dad, took me on the train from Donny(he was a sheffielder, but moved to Donny for his job).Pop and crisps outside a pub,can’t remember which one, whilst he had a couple of pints inside, and then off to the sights and sounds of the Lane.I’ve been hooked ever since.
Sadly my Dad is long gone, but I’m still making the same journey, and just as thrilled(well nearly)as I was then.
Up the Blades!

 

[Mario1889]

I honestly can’t see anything other than a convincing Blades win today.

I’ll go with 3-1.

Sat outside with a pop and a bag of crisps was literally my childhood… usually with a couple of dogs (canine) for company! Those were the days!
UTB and enjoy making that journey today!

We Will completely dominate the match, miss loads of chances, have a man sent off, and lose 1-0 to a scruffy last minute goal sorry

 

[loyalblade95]

Going 3-0, going to back Cooper to keep a clean sheet on his debut, pretty sure the last keeper to do that for us was Jamal Blackman against Brentford in 2017.

Edit: O'Hare, JLT and Moore to score.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Thanks . I’ll try it but never had to do so before so not 100% confident it will work .

Update - now offering viewing passes in unsold territories .

 

[Blade56]

2-0

 

[The Fox]

Prediction - Long queues as people try and get the new fangled phone ticket to work .

Actually not too bad on Tuesday, a few hiccups in front if me but expected .

Giving myself at least another 10 mins just to be safe .

Match - comfortable win .

Today is my first time in the 'new' John Street stand. The last time I was on that side of the ground I had a season ticket on the west terrace.

 

[Pintor75]

This team today should be full of energy and up for it from the start. After the last 2/3years hanging onto the old guard these should be a breath of fresh air, even Adkins should get a tune out of them, utb

Welcome to the party, if you have decent, central tickets, we apologise for the language in advance.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Bit of a rush for me today. On stage for 45 minutes at 1pm, get the gear off in record time & then taxi to the Lane booked for 2.15pm

Team picks itself apart from the central defence partnership, I'd go Soutter/Robbo.

At least there's no danger of an encore?
