For any info ahead of game at Sheffield United other than tickets and coach travel.

Links for these threads along with ticket info and Accy Clarets will be in the sticky post.

Pubs around the train station are generally fine and in walking distance to the ground.

About 15 to 20 mins walk from the station to Bramall Lane

For those driving there is a large secure car park on Milton Street (5 mins walk to ground) used it last season, costs a fiver, good getaway after the match as well.

Anyone used the tram system in Sheffield? There is a large park and ride at Middlewood. Its not far off Hillsborough on the road in and looks a good option perhaps? Saves driving right in.

I had a look at parking at Meadow Hall shopping centre one year.
Trams and trains go into Sheffield from there.

I never used it in the end though, so you would have to look into it

I think that's where we parked last season

Not sure which is the closest tram stop to Bramall Lane but I doubt it can be far away. The line goes up the hill to the Uni from there then back down the hill onto Penistone Road. Decent option.

Apparently around a quarter of an hour walk - Granville Road (Sheffield College)

Will be getting the train and heading to The Howard (great name) opposite the station and then it’s about a 20 min walk to the away end.

Not a bad idea that, easier getting train from Meadowhall, it’s only one stop into centre. My local train on Penistone line calls in there, quite a few others do too. Easier than working out tram routes.

Just jumping on this since there's no general info thread.

Off peak day return Burnley - Sheffield (changing in Leeds) £23.60, or X43 to Manchester £4 (£3 if they're still doing the £1 after 7pm fares), and then return train tickets Manchetser - Sheffield can be picked up for around £20.
