After buying my ticket yesterday, I noticed 'Post In View' on the ticket. I am hoping this is common practice - because Hillsborough is getting old now and I am not stuck behind a steel post.

hillsborough is an awful run down ground which should have been replaced decades ago, maybe it would have been if it wasn't so big. you are almost certain to have your view obscured by 1 or 2 posts, nothing major though

There will be plenty of empty seats so if you'll be able to move to one with a better view. But at the moment it's probably an advantage if you can't see the pitch.

 

[Shents]

All the seats past row M have a post in view i think form memory there are two post so if your quite central you don't need to worry.

Also on the where to drink i would avoid the Bankers draft seemed to be a lot of OCS in there last time. Me and my mates will be in the globe just up from the station

 

[tom stafford]

Anyone know how many tickets we have sold ?

I have been 3 times previous with a 33% success rate - I just wanted to know if my tickets were a bullshitted up 'restricted view'.

The pub we used last year and will be using this year is The Cask and Cutler www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/30/3080/Cask_and_Cutler/Sheffield
If going by public transport it's best to get the supertram to Shalesmoor - the pub is 30 metres on from the stop on the left hand side. You can then rejoin the supertram after drinkies to get to the ground.

Perhaps worth pointitng out that the Cask and Cutler is a flea pit and over run with cats, dogs, rats etc :icon_bigg

I remember walking in their last season. There was a guy at the bar who looked like he hadn't moved for 3 seasons. He stunk of piss, he had flies landing on him it was dreadful. The Fat Cat is the place to be !!!

I'll shower this time. Seriously 'tho, I tend to find The Fat Cat gets a bit to crowded.

Probably because its not a rancid stench house for stray cats and piss stinking scum bags

CITY FANS' DELAY ALERT


10:30 - 04 October 2007

Football fans are being warned about potential traffic jams on the way to this weekend's clash between Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Police said the A61 between the M1 junction 36 and Sheffield has temporary traffic lights which could lead to "significant delays".

Drivers are advised to find alternative routes and allow extra time for their journey.

I drove through Sheffield a couple of weeks ago and there seems to be roadworks all over the place, it's as bad as Leicester.

Probably be quicker to park on the outskirts and get the tram. There's a tram park and ride place on the way into the city, or you could park at Meadowhall and get the tram from there.
