VisitingBlade Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 don't think we've had the upper tier since that Friday night game in 97 Remember that game - who was that little right winger you had? Remember him tearing us a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisitingBlade Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Is there an away fans car park at ground? There are no 'official' car parks but there is plenty of street parking, if you get there early. Although your best bet is the big charity run car park behind the Decathlon store, just off St Marys roundabout (post code S1 3HU) - £4, secure and less than 5 minutes walk to the ground.

gonzo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ideal then that car park. Turn left out of the car park and under the subway to the ground. 2 hours and 34 minutes from my house. Even got a little picture of Eyre Street. The powers of the interweb never cease to amaze. Remember driving to grounds using directions in last weeks match programme in the vein hope we could spot a floodlight in the distance. ....normally to realise it was an athletic track or power station haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walshyt Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Trying to find a decent boozer with good pub grub that's not too far from the train station, any recommendations would be appreciated. Went to uni in Sheffield and Id say Division street or West street are your best bets. Nothing really towards the ground from the station, need to head towards town first. Seen people recommend the graduate which might not be a bad shout, used to be a pub called the Cavendish on West St as well which was cheap, sold decent grub and will show the early kick off. Not sure if its still there or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do/don't the police restrict in vicinity of the ground? I'm staying in the Copthorne hotel after the game; do I need to get there early to get on their car park, or should it be a doddle?

Police usually close Bramall Lane about 1:30/2pm so would suggest getting the car parked in there before then. Decent pint and food in the bar at the hotel too.

bolton va va Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Miss the day of the proper floodlights, the football fans equivalent of the north star. Hurray...that gives me chance to wheel out my Crystal Palace story yet again. First floodlights we parked up for turned out to be railway sidings & the second lot turned out to be an athletics track meaning we finally got to the ground just as the gates opened. Watched about 5 minutes of (free) football, then got back in the car for a several hours drive back to civilisation. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostock Whites Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not sure about the parking reservation but the bar is open from early to guests and non-guests. Give them a call re parking, sure it'll be fine. I wish you bad luck for Saturday, but overall I'd rather us and yourselves go up. Who's bigger is debatable. But what can be agreed is that we are 2 clubs that have been underachieving too much, and should be in the Prem never mind the Championship. I mean come on, we get around 15k at home, yourselves 20k, and then you get Scunthorpe with 4K! But football ain't about attendances, look forward to Saturday!
