Club Formed in 1889

Bramall Lane has to me been one of the most underated grounds in the country. The construction of three large new stands, plus the filling in of two corners, makes it one of the best in the first division. Both sides of the ground are large single tiered stands, as is the Kop at one end. The only disappointment with the latter is two large supporting pillars.

Opposite is the Bramall Lane Stand, the oldest present and where the away fans are housed. This stand is two tiered and looks odd as it has two large supporting pillars in the upper tier. It also has an electric scoreboard, perched between the two tiers. Probably the smartest looking stand is the HFS Loans Stand at one side of the pitch. This single tiered stand has the corners filled in, by offices on one side and a family seated area on the other. At the back of the stand are a row of executive boxes and on its roof is a small gable, reminiscent of when many older grounds featured them.

The stadium is balanced, with all four stands being of the same height.
