been twice would of liked to of gone this season - as a stadium proper qaulity old school ground - altough as fanbases go prefer the blades, this probably due to some little 14 yo shit threatening to " knife that cockney bastard" after jacko scored a free kick up there.
Went to Hillsborough back in January 2012, hopefully Jackson can get the team to watch that performance and know what an organised away performance with a touch of quality looks like.
Enjoy everyone who goes, hopefully you come back with a point or 3 in your back pocket.
What's the best way to get to and from Hillsborough from the train station on Saturday week?
If you walk out of the station at the back the tram stops just outside, that will take you up to West St where there's a few pubs, if you get off at Shalesmoor it's a short walk to the pubs of Kelham. If you stay on it takes you as far as Hillsborough centre which is 2 stops before the ground and a different tram, it's a 10 or so minute walk from Hillsborough to the away end.

Thanks for the info. Where do most away fans tend to drink?

If they are easily pleased probably the Howard and Globe just opposite the train station but I've posted earlier in the thread that I'd head to Kelham given the option but West St and Division St aren't a bad 2nd pick.

If you're coming up on the train it's not an easy trek back post game with trams being a little bit busy but should make it to town for 6.
Boozing wise, like the Valley nowadays very little around the ground for away fans so for me I'd look at drinking up West and Division Street in town and getting tram in from 2.15 onwards.
Alteratively get a cab to Kelham Island, its a very good place for a beer and many more pubs opening up there, Taxi to ground is about a tenner from there too.
Any other advice needed or owt leave it in here and I will answer as best I can.
@owlsonlineadmin are there plenty of taxis (ideally that can take five people) around the ground and town centre? Really can’t be arsed with trams and buses.

Just booked 3 x doubles for our group at The Red Lion Inn (Greene King), Todwick, close to jct 31 on M1 & apprx 14 miles to the Stadium.
Will drive straight to the match, then back south to the hotel to book in etc afterwards.
£63 per room plus £7.99 if breakfast required.
God knows why but there you go.
Hopefully see you soon.

thanks for your help.
Post game not a chance.
I'd walk into Hillsborough centre as the blue line tram becomes an option there otherwise you only have the yellow line one from near the ground.
