Bramall Lane, home of Sheffield United Women based in South Yorkshire and play their trade in the Women’s Championship. Nicknamed the “Blades” just like the Men’s team.
Sunday League returns and today it’s a short drive to Dronfield for Dronfield Wanderers vs Hasland Community. So it’s through Woodseats to Meadowhead and into Coal Aston… There’s nobody here… Has the game been called off or have I got the wrong place…?
Well time is up for that one but is there anywhere else nearby with an 11am kick off…? Dronfield United? Let’s drive down to Unstone and… No one here again! Am I missing a trick here? Well time is up but I’m really in the mood to see a game now…
