For Sheffield United fans, by Sheffield United fans. BladesPod is a regular dose of #sufc thoughts and analysis from @bnmkn and @panchero #twitterblades
United Women have made five new signings already this summer, plus agreed new contracts with five of last year's squad - I profiled our new arrivals here and why I'm really looking forward to seeing them play: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/five-new-sig…

All in. All season. 👊 2024/25 season ticket holders can now renew their season ticket to guarantee all 11 home league games at Bramall Lane for the same price as last season, with the renewal window open until Friday 1st August. 🎫
Ready to do it all again! 👊 Our 2025/26 @BarclaysWSL2 schedule is here 🗓
A 2-1 win for @sufc_women over @SFCWomen tonight in their first preseason friendly - Isla Phillips and an OG the scorers. Lots of academy players involved, including almost an entire new XI for the second half.

✍️ We are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of forward Alyssa Aherne from Manchester United after a loan spell with the club last season. Welcome back to the Blades, Alyssa! ⚔️
We are delighted to announce that, following our successful friendly vs Sheffield United, @SFCWomen will face @sufc_women at The Home of Football on Thursday evening! 🔴⚫️ EFL season ticket holders get in for FREE, whilst it is £5 for adults and £1 for seniors! #TheWorldsFirst
Joe has been driving this campaign for at least the last three years and this is the result. Brilliant to see, thanks to everyone else involved too.
📣 It’s official: Safe Standing is coming to Bramall Lane! ~3,000 at the back of the Kop, plus a section of the away end, and to be introduced this year. Delighted that the news is now out there. A big thanks to the supporters of this campaign over these past few years

Following a series of meetings and consultations with relevant stakeholders, Sheffield United is set to introduce 'Safe Standing' at Bramall Lane during the 2025-26 campaign. 🏟️
She was a big miss last season after injuring her achilles in the first home game - great to have her back.
✍️ We are delighted to confirm defender Molly Graham has signed a new contract at the club, taking the born and bred Blade into her eleventh season at United.
Yessss. Very happy to have her back! Wrote this about her last season: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/sufc-women-2…
They say never fall in love with a loan player... ...but this time, it's permanent 😍
✍️ We are delighted to confirm the signing of defender Emma Taylor from Blackburn Rovers on a one-year deal with an option of a further year through to 2027. Welcome to the Blades, Emma! ⚔️
✍️ We are delighted to confirm the signing of attacking midfielder Charlie Devlin from Birmingham City on a one-year deal. Welcome to the Blades, Charlie! ⚔️
✍️ We are delighted to confirm Leanne Cowan, Abbie Lafayette and Ella Kinzett have all signed new contracts with the Blades ahead of the 2025/26 season.
✍️ We are also delighted to confirm forward Eva Butler has put pen to paper on her first professional contract with the Blades ahead of the 2025/26 season, signing a one-year deal with an option of a further year through to 2027. Congratulations, Eva! 😁
Another multi-year deal, this time to a highly-rated young player. Encouraging!
✍️ We are delighted to confirm midfielder Tilly Bristow has put pen to paper on her first professional contract with the Blades ahead of the 2025/26 season, signing a two-year deal with an option of a further year through to 2028. Congratulations, Tilly! 😁
Latest post on Women of Steel breaks down the retained list for @sufc_women and a big first signing of the summer: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/breaking-dow…

Excellent to see United offering a multi-year deal here too, which you may have noticed hasn't been the case the last couple of seasons...
✍️ We are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Amy Andrews from Newcastle United on an initial one-year deal with an option for a further year through to 2027. Welcome to the Blades, Amy! ⚔️
HELLO Andrews was probably top of the list of free agents I hoped we'd sign, to the extent where I felt like an idiot for even name checking her a few newsletters ago. Statement signing from the Blades!
Our first summer signing has arrived in S2 🔥
