Good luck to Bramall Park. It would be great to have a usg final!

I think there is often a significant advantage playing at home.
We have been to clubs where there has been poor lighting or background
noises, which as visitors we seem to be less able to cope with.
My team are also very used to my voice and pace of reading of the questions.
When playing away, trying to comprehend a question read in an unfamilar
voice requires more mental interpretation, particularly if the reader has a
strong accent from another region or reads too quickly or reads without
understanding what he/she is reading.
