Both Sheffield clubs have managed to play at home on the same day in the past but over the last few years we’ve had so much over policing it’s becoming a pain in the back side.
I was hoping for an away match at a club I’d not been to before so would have preferred to have been coming to your place so a draw wouldn’t be so bad for me.
Hope you bring plenty of support, there are some decent pubs in the city, particularly if you like real ale.
Enjoy your day but not after 3pm or whenever.
Thanks for the info, can you remember the last time both of you were home which team had to change to an alternate day?
We’ve had a bit of a debate on our forum and we think the last time we were both at home on the same day was 2005. We played Villa and they played Swindon.
I suppose the main concern, as pointed out by others on here might be the train issue. Both you and Luton heading for similar trains at the same time. Your fans will be on the Pancras trains but not sure how many London trains stop at Luton these days so you might just have to share trains.
Best idea would be to stop over in Sheffield and have a good night out.

13 years and your police can't host 2 games on the same day? Wowsers. You are the opposite ends of the city.

Tell me about it!!!
Other cities seem to be able to police football games yet SYP are totally useless. You should have seen the pantomime we had for the local derby the other week. Police brought in from other forces, huge steel barricades set up on the streets and several roads shut off just in case some knobheads wanted to kick off. There were enough riot police out to quell a Paris style riot, it just gets people’s backs up and loses any goodwill from the public.

The police’ man concern is probably mixed trains of Barnet and Luton going up there mostly on the booze. The games themselves are hardly going to be tear ups
