The Blades face Arsenal on March 22 in the quarter-final of the FA Cup, with tickets going on sale this morning to season ticket holders.

Queues formed before tickets officially went on sale at 9am and soon snaked past the club shop and up to the top of the Cherry Street car park.

By lunchtime, it had not dwindled and fans waited around 45 minutes for the queue to move from the club superstore to the ticket office.
