Shrove Tuesday

Beating the Hatters gave Chris Wilder's side a tiny glimmer of hope of avoiding the drop but, after this result, I am expecting them to feel as flat as a leftover pancake from Shrove Tuesday.

Celebrated as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday in other parts of the world, the name Shrove Tuesday derives from the English word meaning to seek forgiveness or be granted absolution.

The Shrove Tuesday event sees hundreds of people grapple in the street for possession of a heavy ball.

Those wishing to take part will be able to nominate celebratory days such as Hogmanay, Burns Night, Shrove Tuesday and the Welsh tradition of Eisteddfodau.

By tradition, Carnival falls on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, when Christians begin fasting for Lent.
