Hi all

Have a spare ticket for Saturday as one going with us has let us down.

It's a student ticket so if anyone needs a ticket/can't be bothered to go down the CG and get one then PM me and it's yours.

Alternatively, anyone know if I can get a refund on it?  :hmmm:

Many thanks

Ask the ticket office mate. I think they'll refund it as long as it's before Saturday. I may be wrong though.

Thanks mate - will ask!

Update: STFC store will refund me as long as I get the ticket back by 11:30am Friday morning!

786 sold for Sheffield Utd. Still all ticket fixture.

It's snowing in Sheffield, but nothing to worry about at the moment. No snow forecast for Friday/Saturday so should be fine.

Good stuff. Think that's just so they can send it back with the rest of the unsold tickets.

Keep us informed of the snow Gnasher. Not bought my train tickets yet - just in case!

Just out of interest, what's the price on the train?

Had a quick look and it was £92!

£92

National express £50
7 hours each way.
Leave at 5.45am arrive 12.35pm
Return 18.30 arrive Sunday 1.55am

£92! Wow! Managed to get mine for £36 way back in early December.

Where's good to drink in Sheffield then? I know there's a pub at the station so arriving at 12.17 with a few on board already could make for quite an interesting afternoon. Imagine it will be pretty brisk up there as well Saturday.

We are on the same train
The pub at the station is the Sheffield tap
Couple of minutes away is the howard and the red lion 10 minutes from the ground

Thanks mate! Looking forward to it - probably see you on the train!

I'll drive you there for £91...

I won't be paying that, that's for sure. ;-)

Looking at the news reports on Sky this morning, I wouldn't bother. If the pitch is fine, the surrounding area won't be so it will be off for H & S reasons.

Forecast up there for tomorrow and Saturday is rain, with temperatures not going below 0. I think there's a very good chance it'll be on.

Yep. I don't think they've had that much so long as they don't get anymore we should be good to go.

Looking out the window at my car there's a good three inches of snow on the roof, but I'm out west on the edge of the peak district and we always get the worst of it.

I may do a New York Mayor and bail now ;)

We're playing in the purple kit tomorrow. Noooooooooooooo! (not that I'm superstitious or anything)

832 sold so far for Sheffield Utd. Tickets come off sale at midday with us. You CAN now pay on day at Sheffield Utd.

We should easily have over 1000 there.

City took 888. If we take 889 does that make us massive?

Their game was televised so would have got triple that otherwise.

City took 600 odd. A Sheff fan on another forum says the city is quite icy!

Quite. My comment was made in reference to the "Coventry on a Monday night on Sky so not taking 3000+" debacle.

Pay on the day is now available for Town fans.....if the game gets the go ahead after the bad weather up there.

I know, I was joining in.

From their forum -

Phoned ticket office today for tickets and the girl said the ice is melting, a bit slippy outside the ground, but as it stands game on.

Lookss like a bit of snow overnight (On my generally inaccurate phone app). Anyone in the area?
