Journalist Tom Blow has launched The Shoreham Journal, a brand new free newsletter dedicated to all things Sheffield United; here’s everything you need to know about it
I’m a staunch believer that you can truly support only one team in sport.
You might be interested in other sports and watch other teams, but there’s just one that significantly affects your happiness and consumes most of your attention. For me, that team is Sheffield United.
I’ve been lucky in my life to live in different cities and cover different sports. I’ve seen Jude Bellingham play at the Bernabeu, attended the Super Bowl, and reported from cricket’s T20 World Cup.
The outcomes of those games don’t really matter to me. But if the Blades lose, my weekend will be spoiled. I know many United fans reading this will feel precisely the same way.
Whether you hold a season ticket or you live thousands of miles away from Bramall Lane, supporting and following your team is a lifetime commitment; it’s part of your identity. And for me, covering United is a lifelong dream.

What is The Shoreham Journal newsletter?
That’s one of the reasons why I’ve created The Shoreham Journal, a free newsletter all about United that will be published twice a week and delivered straight into your inbox.
This newsletter will round up all the essential news about United, from transfer news to press conferences, insight from former players to analysis.
The platform will also highlight and link to all the fantastic content created by United fans across social media, as well as articles produced by other outlets. It’ll also encourage readers to voice their opinions; I want fans to leave comments on posts, participate in polls, respond on social media and utilise the newsletter’s chat function.

And don’t worry, the content won’t be all wishy-washy posts like this. Our aim is to provide you with the essential news you need.
I’m incredibly thrilled about this newsletter, and I would be delighted if you could subscribe. Here are the answers to some crucial questions you might have:
Are there any ads?
No! The newsletter is being published on Substack, an ad-free platform. There will be no adverts when you receive the newsletter in your email inbox or when you look at the newsletter on our website.
Advertisements may appear on any external websites/platforms I link to, but I cannot control that.
Is the newsletter completely free?
Yes! On launch, the newsletter will be completely free to read and subscribe to. Substack does allow creators to put some or all of their content behind a paywall, but I’ve got no interest in doing that at this moment in time or in the foreseeable future.
How do I sign up?
