Blades announce reductions

By Gavin Patterson

Sheffield United has announced that they are to slash the price of watching the Blades for next season.
United, currently fourth in the championship and in with a chance of promotion, have decided to cut prices by up to £30 from last season's renewal prices.
The move follows initiatives by other clubs and comes amid challenging financial times for supporters. Children who attend home matches with an adult season ticket holder who are under the age of 13 will be entitled to free admission to league matches at Bramall Lane.
Next season will be the clubs 120th anniversary and all fans that renew their season ticket will be given a replica strip commemorating the 120th year. The shirt has the name of every player who has played for the Blades woven into the fabric.
Chief Executive Jason Rockett said: "As a club we are continuing with our policy to make football affordable and accessible to all.
"More than ever it is necessary to be flexible in these economic times. We hope by reducing season ticket prices it will ease the financial burden on the club's supporters."
