Useful pub & parking guide

HOSPITALITY
No, no, wind your eyeballs in, I didn’t mean the hospitality as in freebies! I mean the many local drinking establishments of course. Most of which, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint and/or mentality, the visiting supporter will be refused admission to. But don’t despair. Because in much the same way that clubs categorise entrance fees these days, I will now offer an appraisal of a number of local pubs in similar fashion. As a rough guide, Category A will result in an extended stay in Sheffield….via casualty in the Northern General, etc, etc.

Category A – The Park Hotel
Unfortunately, because it’s so convenient for away fans situated just before you hit Leppings Lane, this pub is an absolute no-no for all visiting supporters. You need a ticket to get in and if you did manage to sneak your way in you would probably find The Park far more inhabited with home fans than the ground which is literally a stone’s throw away. Or a house brick, if you catch my gist. Put simply, do not approach this pub displaying your colours.

Category B – The Shakespeare
This can be found in the busy Hillsborough shopping centre about half a mile away from the stadium. It’s not a young ‘top-man’ boozer but not full of fossils either. You’ll be quite safe in here but be careful not to enter the other two pubs in this area, where your welcome may not be so, er, welcoming. Colours best kept under wraps in the vicinity.

Category C – The Horse & Jockey
You’ve cracked it! Drink to your heart’s content and wear your colours with pride in this modern and extremely away fan friendly ale establishment. It’s a little bit further away from the ground, about half a mile up Wadsley Lane near the Leppings Lane end of the stadium, but your safety here is guaranteed. Also be aware that although they’ll love your custom before the game, this does not extend to the time immediately after the match, for obvious reasons. Especially given Wednesday’s well-documented home form.

Any other pubs not mentioned – well, it’s your life, do with it as you may. Some will be more friendly than others but it’s certainly worth bearing in mind to refrain from broadcasting your colours and your accents!

Should be far enough away from the ground to have any problems.

No, I haven't - but the bloke on u.l.y that told me about the nearest tram-stop said that there is a bit of building going on in the area.

If you look at this, the first pub is near the tram-stop, the second is on the way to The Fat Cat and the third *is* the Fat Cat. Perhaps that will help you judge the answer to your question.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Hmmm, looks lovely. Anyway, a lot of sheff is grim so I'm not bothered by the pictures. it's the beer that counts!

 

[Lako42]

Disgustingly low turn-out for such a short journey. I hope that a lot intend to pay on the gate!

Well I and 2 others definitely do.

 

[fosseboy83]

me and 4, already in sheffield using hallam uni computers...:icon_lol:

 

[Lako42]

i expect there will be a good amount paying on the door who cant be bothered with the hassle of driving into leicester to get their tickets. i predict 1800+ altogether. baring in mind our shocking away form a low turn out should never be unexpected. still im sure we will create some good atmosphere tomorow.

 

[Joe_Fox]

We took a shit load of fans - how many do you think were there? Maybe 3000?
