Sheffield United F.C. is an English football club who play in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. They play their home games at a stadium called Bramall Lane and have the nickname "Pigs". Their nickname comes from their rivals Sheffield Wednesday due to their stadium being built on a pig sty and their anger towards ‘The pigs’ due to them not being the original team in Sheffield and taking up room in the city as most of them are fat due to eating far too much pukka pies from the stadium with a 0 star hygiene rating.
