Sheff Wed Parking & Tickets
« on: July 03, 2016, 08:55:59 PM »
Until I just looked on GoogleMaps, I had know idea that Hillsborough was so far out of town.

Any parking tips nearer the stadium ?

Yep miles away from the City Centre, makes Villa Park look  like centre of town.

I am more concerned as to when tickets go on sale  and the prices.

Parking is best towards the M6 towards  Barnsley so in other words  if you were coming from the city centre  then keep going past the ground.

Always think of Hillsborough as an ancient model of Villa Park without the facades etc. - looks run down.

I reckon it will be £40-45 a ticket the robbing gets.

Think we are going to get ripped off  right, left and centre regarding prices away from home.

I assume that I can make my arrangements without the worry of a detour to the Brum City Centre

It's one i'd like to do, so you're not allowed to make arrangements yet!

Well I do have a birthday in August so maybe I will cheekily ask someone to get me a ticket for that!

Tickets will go on sale at the end of the week.

Last time I went there was a big car park on waste land, but we're talking 16 years ago now, so its likely been developed. Not sure if their tram system goes out that way.

The tram does run that way, from the train station you can either get off at Hillsborough which is about a 10 minute walk to the ground or change at Hillsborough and get another tram to Leppings Lane which is conveniently right by the away section.

Yeah best bet is to park in City centre as loads of good pubs and get the tram from West street.

Even parking at Meadowhall it's only about half an hour on the tram from there.

Not yet. They want to charge us £52 and we've rightly told them to think again and to agree a reciprocal ticket deal.

Is that what it's going to be? Premier League prices that, or rather would have been without the cap.

I hope we charge them £10 a ticket, but charge Wednesday £100k for the release of them.
