Football clubs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes but our two Football league teams in Sheffield have a combined 242 years experience behind them. The grounds at Bramall Lane (Sheffield United) and Hillsborough (Sheffield Wednesday) have a combined capacity of  72,426. However the oldest football club in the world is Sheffield FC (now playing in the Unibond First Division and the Ladies team in North East Regional WPL Premier division). The last thing I am suggesting is a combined team playing as Sheffield City – that would be an own goal of epic proportions.

A wife tired of her husband spending so much time at Hillsborough said ‘Sometimes I think you love Sheffield Wednesday more than you love me’ and he replied ‘Lass I love United more than I love thee’

At the junior end of the leagues Sheffield and Hallamshire FA (what a naff name) run SoccerScene holiday football camps scheduled for the Easter and Summer breaks at the Westfield Sports Centre, Sheffield. Each camp costs just £8.33* per day for 5 hours of football coaching, fun and games with FA qualified CRB checked coaches. The SoccerScene Camps have continued top grow in popularity since they were launched in summer 2007. Boys and girls between the ages of 7-11 years are welcome.
