20 Problems Only People From Sheffield Will Understand

19. Football

Any city that has duelling, rival football teams isn't going to be fun to live in during Derby Days. Or any time during the season, to be honest, as Sheffield United and Wednesday fans are...well, thankfully not at each other's throats as some other footballing rivalries, but there's some pretty passionate (read: angry) feelings about the other team on each side. Look, one of them has fans nicknamed Blades. To the outsider, the two teams mostly make themselves known through the endless traffic on match days, the police (and police horses) (and police horse poo) that litter the pedestrianised zones at the same time, and the hordes of people who demand you have opinions, leading to a terrifying game where you try and guess what they want to hear.
