VulcanRam Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got mine today.. We will be stuck in a fookin corner somewhere. Normally they sell the corner tickets first, then move inwards, so you'll be right behind the goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm driving, last season went up to M1 jn 33a then back in to avoid the city centre at jcn 33 (it was an evening game and rush hour) still took blooming ages, managed to park on a street nr burger king, five mins from away end though, which was handy. Might train it this time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezzyram Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 For anyone thinking of driving to Hillsborough from the city centre, there are a lot of roadworks on the A61, Penistone Road around the Owlerton stadium area so be prepared for holdups, I drove through there last week and it took me a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamowl Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you live in Derby then train only takes nice and easy 30mins journey, then there is pubs opposite train station called the howard and forgot another pub name little bit further up, inside the train station there is bar called Sheffield Tap (decent beers etc) you'll need tram to the ground which is take around 20mins. You'll enjoy it there. Just to let you all know - there are currently maintenance works taking place on the tramlines at the moment, meaning that trams are only running as far as the Cathedral tram stop. From there, you'll need to transfer onto replacement buses to get you to Hillsborough. Also, if you're travelling by car/bus, there are major roadworks taking place at the Leppings Lane roundabout (30 secs from the ground), so it is expected that there will be traffic delays around the ground, so you'll want to compensate as such.

lazlo_woodbine Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 As someone who drinks in Sheffield quite frequently. If you come in by train take the Blue tram. Lots of pubs around City Hall and West Street but not the sort I like. If you go a bit further to Shalesmoor the Wellington is a great real ale pub and right next to the tram stop. You can then get the yellow tram to Leppings lane. Or you can stay on the blue tram to Langsett Road and go in the Hillsborough Hotel, good ale there. Hillsborough central pubs are rough and ready.

eddie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Not staying over night? If I was, it would be crashing out at my daughter's house. Also, we did that joke for Matlock, Burton and Nuneaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the trams from town, the ones from Meadowhall or all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Think I'll be following you Eddie - car to Meadowhall, tram to the ground. Looks like traffic all around is going to be a nightmare. It was last season, and there weren't roadworks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Are the M1 roadworks still bad, not been oop there in a few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamowl Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is that the trams from town, the ones from Meadowhall or all of them? All tram lines are affected - the Meadowhall to Hillsborough route also goes through the city centre, so it'll catch you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
