Steel Yourselves

FA Cup Third Round ties take place across the weekend of 9-12 January and there is a good chance here in Sheffield to watch two games in two days.

The 'under new ownership' signs may not yet be in place at Hillsborough as the Owls take on Premier League side Brentford in a 3pm kick-off on the Saturday but the club's administrators say that 'genuine progress' is being made on that front.

Ticket prices for the game have been reduced to £15 for adults, £10 for seniors/under 21's and £5 for under 17's.

Over at Bramall Lane it was a strange summer with Chris Wilder leaving Sheffield United after defeat in the play-off final, the club (still under relatively new ownership themselves) moving in a different direction in terms of coaching and recruitment.

That direction appeared to be heading only one way however and Wilder was brought back for a third spell as manager with results improving, bar one or two blips along the way.

Former Blades boss Nigel Clough brings Mansfield to S2 for a 2.30pm kick-off on the Sunday with tickets priced at £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £1 for under 18's.
