Either park on one of the streets off Herries Road (The hill opposite the Kop End) or park at Meadowhall Shopping Centre which is free and get the tram to and from the ground steveger1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just off the phone to the Leader of the City Council after contacting her this morning about the possible scenario of fans arriving & locked out, yet empty seats in the ground. I was hoping it may influence the SAG & SY Police's stance. After contacting 2 senior officials at SY Police the response was they never agreed to 9,000 tickets for away fans, however after the success of the previous game & behaviour of the fans they agreed to an increase of 2,500 of the 4,500 tickets we were allocated last time, taking the total to 7,000 tickets. That's it. There were never going to be any more than that & certainly not 9,000. It would seem Wednesday acted without their approval & published figures before seeking their ratification. Don't shoot the messenger. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I'm still looking for tickets for myself & 3 other Sheffield based bears.

Things like this hammer home why Sheffield United have a bigger support and are the bigger club, would never have happened if the match was at Bramall Lane.

No clue mate, I doubt they'll be parked on Leppings Lane as it has street parking for residents on there. There is a car park and space on Penistone Road (Opposite the Kop) so some coaches may be put there & there's another fairly big car/coach park about 100 yards away in the industrial estate too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl 70 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just had a thought, if you don't get there on your RSC's early enough & if the weather is good, there's an Asda up by the Leppings Lane end, better off mapping it on yer phone or asking a local to point you to it, you could buy beers from there & drink in Hillsborough Park across from the South Stand. It's a big fuck off field so you can't miss it. Carsons Dog and steveger1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
