WATCH OR LISTEN: The latest episode of our podcast talking Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday

After all the talking, all the hypothesising and all the doubts, football is finally on its way back.

Both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United will be back in action inside the next three weeks.

Discussing the two clubs' progress towards the return, Owls writers Joe Crann and Alex Miller, Blades reporter James Shield and The Star's football clubs editor Chris Holt join host Liam Hoden, all in optimistic mood.

The panel discussed contract issues, including a mini raft of new deals at Hillsborough, plus the big issue of season tickets and refunds.

And they put in the final pieces of the jigsaw that is the combined Owls-Blades XI from the last 30 years as they add two strikers.
