I've only ever been to pubs within the centre, of which there are plenty. Grounds Guide suggests The Royal Standard on St Mary's Road.

I would recomend comming off the M1 at Juction 33 and heading to the Nunnery Square park and ride. the Tram will take you to the centre of town and its a short walk from any of the city centre pubs to the ground. This should also mean that getting back to the M1 is quicker after the match too.

The only reason I avoided this route was on the basis, that after the expected delays between J25-28, it would be easier to get off at the next junction and try and make time up on the A61, as I felt there was more likely to be delays further up the M1.

I will be at the game, wish i could go Ipswhich as well but have other commitments.

Havent been to Bramall Lane for years. I stopped at a traffic light and an 8 year old Wesnesday fan stuck his finger up at me. Little shit.

You should have kicked his face in.

Is A61 the road which goes past Chesterfield? In which case, it's a reet ballbag with traffic.

Re: Sheffield United - 19/08/09 - 7.45pm

That road from Chesterfield into Sheffield is terrible at anytime nevermind just before a footy match at Bramall Lane. When I went to Chesterfield for the friendly there were roadworks at one of the roundabouts as well causing holdups.

A better solution might be to get off at junction 31(near where I live) and go in towards Sheffield on the Mossborough bypass and then turn left at the 1st r/bout AFTER the Crystal Peaks r/bout and head towards a place called "Intake" then head towards the Town Centre going past the fire station Then via City Road or via Eastbank Road until nearer the ground when it best to park not far from Queens Road and walk the rest of the way

This is a better route, I still prefer mine of staying on the M1 till J33 then going to the park and ride at Nunnery Sq

 

[foxxhunter]

have been before but it were a while ago when we got done 4-1, that a61 is a right ball ache surely junction 33 and drive straight in someone help who knows best way?

You tell me what the traffic conditions are going to be like on the M1 and the A61 on Tuesday night and I will tell you which is the best way.

 

[Motown Fox]

The way in from junction 33 can be a nightmare too but you can use the park and ride as Shents suggested and get the tram towards Halfway (changing at Ponds Forge)and then walk from the tram stop at the Granville College stop or the Train station stop.

Or you can try my route and park near Queens Road (in the side roads) and walk from there which is slightly nearer to walk than from the tram stop.

CARE!!!!!!!!THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE COMING TO THE GAME FOR AFTER THE MATCH
When leaving Sheffield via the Parkway there are roadworks after the turnoff towards Crystal Peaks and M1 Junction 31 (the Mosborough Parkway) these mean the road up to junction 33 is a nightmare and with all the extra traffic for the footy it will be even worse. So I would suggest following the signs for Crystal Peaks etc and M1 South and this takes you to junction 31 and therefore also means you miss the M1 roadworks between junctions 32 and 33

Sorry to ask what maybe a stupid question, but the 'Crystal Peaks roundabout'.....is that a roundabout in an area called 'Crystal Peaks' or is it one of those huge crossings that has it's own name.

[Joe_Fox]

So does this 1000 extra tickets mean I can go and buy on the gate? And for £19?

 

[Hazzman]

Are you on a wind-up?
