If I go quiet for a period of time it's because the wife was transferred to ICU at the Derby Royal with covid complications, despite having both jabs. Not a lot has worked so far. Changes lots of things. Not after sympathy, just understanding

Sheff United get £125m plus parachute payments for finishing bottom. How can the rest of the championship compete with that. The system is seriously flawed

After many years of research by a number of people, this is the closest you will get to seeing the original kits, as worn by the club when they played at The Racecourse. The only original in existence is the red/white one, others made from photos and contemporary descriptions.
