Recently moved to Crookesmoor, about 10 minutes walk from Sheffield University arts tower. Was wondering what my local team would be now, Wednesday or United? I reckon I live a bit closer to United but not sure about this. Can someone with a better geographical knowledge of Sheffield than me answer this question?

the blades have more irish in the team like yourself but they also have colin :loopy: go to both and make up your own mind its either in your blood or it aint (i think your closer to the lane mate)

Well mate, I'm a firm believer in supporting your local team. Been to watch both teams many times and always enjoyed it, whether I've been at Brammal Lane or Hillsborough. I also quite like Neil Warnock- he's passionate and impeccably honest , nowt wrong with that IMO.

Take yerself off to all local teams as I do including Sheffield fc, good day out and great pub at the groud, only a fiver in (if your skint from watching the blunts/owls the week before).
You could also jump in the car with us a come and watch the mighty Burnley with the sheffield clarets supporters.

oh dear oh dear.

BURNLEY? really? why? what is all that about?

Wednesday (blades Are Still Coming Out Of Wood Work)

If you live at Crookesmoor your local team would be AFC Woodseats who play at Goodwin. Free entry!!!

sheffield united without a doubt unless u enjoy being dissappointed which i doubt ;) :)

Cheers for the replies. Just wondering about cricket teams to watch in the area also?

in the words of Frank Skinner get a map, a compass and a ruler and there's your answer

Yes mate, done that and with the result that it appears SWFC is closest to me. Will have to get down for a few games next year .

Would have to say WEDNESDAY - it's the way forward!

Get along to the Fortress and see REAL Football - played by REAL Men - NOT BY A BUNCH OF BIRDS. Haha

You don't HAVE to follow football you know! (Runs & hides)

you should hide!!!! ha ha ha

You could always go and watch Hallam FC (it's less painful walking home downhill if they lose!)

no!!! Wednesday.....or get ur self upto Concorde on a Thurs evening to watch Ladies 5 a side football!!!!

Is the Fortress a rugby league ground? Would love to get to a rugby league game at some point. Seems like a sport you have to be well hard for :D

Don't know about Fortress but Hillsborough Hawks play in Hillsborough Sports Arena and its only down the hill from Crooksmoor.

Its on the way to the holy grail of local football in Sheffield. The air is so much purer on the North side of Sheffield, especially in S6. I'm sure you'll find Bumall Lane smells of pork

Jim:thumbsup:

smells of pork? <--- love it!!!!

Went down and had a wee look at their ground yesterday afternoon. For the oldest ground in the world, it's in pretty good shape :thumbsup:
The pub opposite, the Plough, looks quite nice from the outside. Strange though that the club is based in such a posh area.

Will have to get to a game there once the new season starts.

NornIron?

Get yourself down to the Lane to watch Keith Gillespie... forget that Brunt fella :)

It's a tricky one that because Keith started his career at the club closed to my heart, Linfield of Belfast, wheras Chris was born and brought up in my native South Belfast. So I do feel a certain affinity towards both those players and their clubs.

But Keef is a leg-end :)

I've heard stories about the team bus having to double back on itself while Keef was on international duty because they'd forgotten him in the hotel bar!
