On 28th October there was an event at the Sheffield United training facility for sponsors.
Two members of the Senior Blades Committee attended on our behalf, Sue Foster and Janet Crowther. Both had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed hearing Derek Geary speaking about their work at the Academy. The talk was given in the Media room and afterwards all the guests had their photos taken sitting behind the desk normally occupied by the Manager or specific player. Moving to the outside, guests were greeted by Chris Wilder, who also gave a short introduction prior to watching a first team training session. Sue and Janet found their time spent there very interesting and had never realised how much work goes on ‘behind the scenes’ to bring us the enjoyment of the games from all the teams involved.
