"The Owls will be looking for another six points from the Steel City derby clashes on September 19th (at Bramall Lane) and 17 April (the penultimate home game of the season). Vital SWFC members are looking forward to the away day at St James' Park: the meeting with the Magpies is on August 19th, the return fixture a mouthwatering clash at Hillsborough on Boxing Day."[14]
