Hillsborough Stadium: A ground that holds just over 39,000 will be seeing Division Two football next season.
The partnership of Neil Warnock and Blackwell has been successful this season has the Blades have progressed to both semi-finals of Worthington and FA Cup only to be beaten but not embarrassed by Liverpool and Arsenal respectably. Meanwhile across the City Wednesday were relegated on Easter Monday after failing to beat Brighton & Hove Albion.

However Blackwell insists that no-one at Bramall Lane drew any satisfaction from seeing their arch rivals relegated to Division Two.

"From a footballing point of view we are all bitterly disappointed for Sheffield Wednesday," said Blackwell.

"They are a fantastic club and have fantastic supporters and they do not deserve what they have been through.

"Of course the club is too big for that standard of football, but Chris Turner is a good manager and if the fans feel let down by the players he'll get his chance to put it right."
