| I'll be driving over, only drove to Sheffield once before and used the sat-nav, I was going to the Marriott there which I think is pretty close to hillsborough and the sat nav sent me over the woodhead (I think - may have been snake) Either way I will just put The ground in the sat nav and set off early, probably just park in a multi storey closeish to the ground. Any advice on which carpark would be best would be appreciated 
I will take the lead for the sat nav this time as battery ran out as I parked on the Marriott carpark last time so I had to just wing it on the way back!! I'm a confident driver ish but hopeless with directions! |

Im not brilliant on car parking in the city centre, theres one on Shoreham Street behind the BBC Radio Sheffield building thats pretty close but theres plenty signposted on all the main roads into the city. Avoid street parking if you can, like ive said before, theres permit schemes in place and its close the the Manor, which is like a demilitarised zone.

| Cheers Dr Badvibes, just been looking on google maps and there looks to be quite a big one close to the train station on Turner street (very close to shoreham street near showroom cinema?). When I get close to the ground I can just press a button on my satnav that will head me to the nearest carparking so I will prob just do that, Thanks for your help. Looking forward to it |

That's the train station car park I think. You should be fine in there but be wary of the city centre bus/tram lanes on you way in and out. The city council here thrive on catching out unsuspecting visitors.

We're going for the Meadowhall option as Sheffield is a nightmare to drive around. J34 M1 and tram into city around £3.50 for a day rider.

Lots of cheap car parks in the centre - www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads-and-t ... re-parking
The link on there should help - I'd go for the one next to number 7 & 8 on the map. You can't miss it, looks like a great big cheese grater and is smack bang in the city centre. Will take about 10-15 minutes to walk to the ground from there, pretty easy straight down one road. Also there is a brilliant pub called The Roebuck right next to the car park and it's near all the shops in town |

For all those of you travelling over to the steel city on Saturday, a few bits of info.
Bramall Lane has an automated ticketing system so those already with tickets should just be able to scan these at the turnstile for entry. For those who dont, youll need to go to the ticket office before the game to get one before going to the turnstiles. Ticket Office is open from 9am. Fourteen of her majestys finest pounds it will cost you. Id strongly suggest arriving pretty early if you have to get a ticket. Ground opens at 1pm as the Leeds - Hull match is on the big screen in the ground before our game.
If you want to watch the game on a pub beforehand (recommended as the lager is £3.10 a go in Bramall Lane), the following are recommeded.
The Sheffield Tap in the train station (Platform 1) is a must - 189 different Bottled Beers available.
The Howard across the main road from the station is worth a visit, just go across the pelican outside and its straight ahead.
The Royal Standard on St Mary's Gate has a pool table, dartboard and Sky TV.
The Sportsman is just across from the road from the BP garage outside the ground and also has Sky.
There is also The Railway on Bramall Lane itself at the far end of the ground.
The Sheaf House a little further down Bramall Lane has a car park, pool, snooker and big-screen Sky.
For those arriving by car, parking around BL is not great. Theres a car park at the ground on the Cherry Street side, its £3 a go and not very big so will probably fill up early. There are numerous city centre car parks that are best. Street parking around the ground is iffy, there are loads of permit schemes in place. Also dont park in the Decathlon or Waitrose, youll get clamped.
Enjoy the game and please bring you weakest possible team to make it a slightly competetive match. ![]()
Cheers mate, very useful.

Yep the Q Park is v good, head up past Decathlon and Staples, it's where I park for work every day, can see The Roebuck from my window Handy for town centre, nice bars and restaurants just up the road, eg Ha Ha, Cafe Rouge etc.
Also off Eyre street is another multi storey, The Moor car park, possibly a little cheaper than cheesegrater and 2 minutes closer to the ground.
Anyone know if it's on internet radio? Sadly I'll be in San Diego.

Only if you are broadcasting it. Eagles get zero live coverage around here. |
