One of the fans asked to have a defibrillator to watch the game as it will be a heart-stopping excitement, while another fan is ready to lose his voice again. One fan pointed out there are no better places for dining in Sheffield, but there are the best pubs to enjoy after the win.
You need a defibrillator to watch them though, it's heart stopping excitement.
Enjoy the journey. 👍— tamsjointbiz (@tamsjointbiz) February 6, 2023
