The club have decided that the council's invitation to give them a reception will not go ahead as it allows the players to break up and go on their holidays early.

With only four weeks from now until the start of pre-season training, Paul Sturrock wants the playing staff to get as much rest as possible before they check back in.

In regards to ticket sales for the Hartlepool clash in Cardiff, there's around 5000 left although the club will close the phone lines today so that they can process postal applications.

Many supporters from both Sheffield and the north east will be taking the same route down to Wales so authorities have warned that people should leave in plenty of time.

Fans with vehicles have also been reminded that Cardiff will close down roads in the city centre around 1300 on the day.
