Die-hard Sheffield United supporter Chris Wilder will have to grit his teeth next week – because the U’s are training at rivals Sheffield Wednesday in preparation for their game at far-away Gateshead.
“We’ll just do the right things,” he said. “We’ve got the Mansfield game Tuesday so we’ll be in Sunday.
“For Gateshead we’ll travel up Friday and prepare like we did at Wrexham.
“We’ll train at Sheff Wed on the Friday, which is logistically the sensible thing to do, and we’ll prepare for Gateshead like we did for Wrexham, when we were able to use Man Utd’s training facilities.”
