Sheffield United
Directions
From The North:
Leave the M1 at Junction 36 and follow the A61 into Sheffield.
Follow the A61 into Sheffield passing
Hillsborough Stadium on your right. Continue along the A61,
which becomes the ring road around the western side of the city centre. You will
eventually reach a roundabout at the junction with the A621. At the roundabout
turn right onto the A621 Bramall Lane. The ground is a short way down on the
left.
From The South:
Leave M1 at Junction 33 and take
the A630 into Sheffield City
Centre. On reaching the inner ring road follow signs for A621 Bakewell, the ground is about
a 1/4 of a mile the other side of the city centre. It is located on the A621
(Bramall Lane). Street Parking.
Pubs
The
favoured pub for away fans is the 'Royal Standard' on St Marys Road (A61),
near to McDonalds (although the pub do some good bar snacks themselves).
Nick
Turrell a visiting
Brighton fan adds; 'About
a ten minute walk away on Queens Road is "The 'Earl",
which on our visit was okay for away fans to drink in'. Otherwise
somewhat further along the road from the away end (about 3/4's of a mile past
the B&Q on the left) is the Bridge pub which also has been recommended to me.
Paul Webb a visiting Birmingham City fan adds; 'On a number of occasions
we have visited the Norfolk Arms pub in the centre of Sheffield. It is by
the Ibis Hotel and not far from the train station. A friendly, traditional
pub with regulars that make you welcome. It's walkable
to the ground, or the bar staff can order a taxi while you leave your
car there'. Also near to the station is the Globe,
which as Simon Lorch a visiting Chelsea fan says:
'I
found that the Globe pub around a five minute walk
from the station and a 15 minute walk from the ground
welcomed home and away fans as long as there was no
singing. The majority of fans there where
Chelsea and the doors where policed 2 hours before the
game but it was a nice friendly pub serving good ale'.
Also near to the station is 'The Howard' that is frequented by away fans and
recommended by Tyler Tedesco a visiting West Ham United fan.
The
pubs near to the ground such as the, 'Sheaf House',
'Railway Hotel', the 'Golden Lion' and on Bramall
Lane;
'The Railway' & 'Cricketers'
are for home fans only.
Otherwise alcohol is available inside the
ground.
By Train
The ground is walkable from Sheffield mainline
train station,
(10-15mins).
As you come
out of the station, walk left along the main road. Where the road splits
take the right fork which is Shoreham Street and continue down this road to
the ground. |
