Anybody go to The Coach & Horses ground to watch Sheffield FC?

I went for the first time last week and enjoyed every minute. I am a football fan (I won't mention) which team but I'm sick of all the corporate sh*t and money grabbing players bleading teams dry.....

I enjoyed the Sheffield V Hallam game so much I cant help thinking I've found a new team!

A few years back I was able to go to quite a few of their games and received a warm welcome from them. It was the season when they had a good run in the FA Cup reaching the 4th Qualifying round. In the previous round they hammered Ashton Utd who were in the league above.
I vividly remember the Laegue cup Final when they were playing at Alfreton on a rainy night. In jury time and the score was 1-1 and the opposition hit the post... that's a good time to worry. The broke out of defence, raced down the wing and a cross came over. A diving header and the cup came back to Sheffield.
At the start of the next season there was a match played at the Coach and horses to mark the opening of the ground and various football notables were there. The game was against Man Utd and there were several names for the future on show. Danny Webber was playing that night and looked good. Sheffield scored one goal against Roy Carroll ( this was in the days before it became a typical event!)
