Abstract

Sheffield United Football Club, based in the Sharrow district of inner city Sheffield, has had a formal relationship with representatives of its local community ever since a working group was set up in 1994 as part of the consultation process for building a new stand. The Blades Partnership, as it was known, remained beyond the completion of this process but with a seemingly less strategic role. This paper explores recent changes in the relationship between the two main organizations that formed the Blades Partnership, namely Sheffield United Football Club and Sharrow Community Forum as it has moved from one of "club appeasing local activists" to one of "creating mutual benefits to club and community".
