Angus_Young Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Are you in the Centre? if so, get the tram. Like any big city it's a bit of a b@stard to drive around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Parking very near the ground can be a problem but there's a fair bit of on-street once you get a short distance away. On the opposite side of the main road is a resideential area (across the park) where you'll find somewhere. Don't cross the park though as you'll likely have to clamber over the fence to get outthe other side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked on Football Grounds Guide but wasn't much help.Penistone Rd leading to Hillsbrough is murder anytime but worse on match days. As Angus says - get the tram from the station to Leppings Lane which is next to the ground or park up in centre & catch it. If you must drive go up M1 & approach it from the north where parking is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Up there for work so can pick a hotel, (Must be Premier inn) the ones in the centre charge for parking so might stay out by Meadow Hall and get the Tram as sounds like parking is a bit of a ball ache. 30mins on tram is not too bad I suppose. Looking forward to seeing the Ground and hopefully a good contribution from the Scottish players in show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing the Ground and hopefully a good contribution from the Scottish players in show. I've only been in it once but must say I was quite impressed with it. Obviously been modernised inside now but the outside areas and surrounding estates definitely gave it a bit of an old school feel to it.

Definitely. You'd be daft staying out round Meadowhall when you could be in town and the tram's a doddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbear Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The ground itself is a bit tired & in need of major upgrade. Plans were approved 6yrs ago for £20m+ investment but, mainly due to England's failed bid to host major tournament, work never started. Wednesday don't have any Scots as far as I'm aware although Brighton have Gordon Greer & Jamie Murphy. It you're up for few days you'd be better off going to United. A short stagger from the Premier Inn on St Mary's Gate (loads of pubs round Bramall Lane) & 8 Scottish players in their squad + ex SPL players Higdon, Sammon & Long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Barry Bannan plays for Wednesday and there's also young Jack Harper at Brighton. Not to forget Ross Wallace (Past it these days) and Liam Palmer (Only got one start this season, is he injured or just out of favor?) at Wednesday. I doubt Jack Harper will be enough for the first team this year according to my Brighton supporting palls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be in the Away end for this one. United are on my List but I might wait until they are in better fettle that they are currently. Thanks for info on Premier in and Bramall lane, will keep that in mind for future trips. Edited October 16, 2015 by kmcca5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbear Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Bugger me - aye fair enough. I believe Wallace & Bannan are recent signings so slipped under my radar Liam Palmer's a local lad - Worksop, so I assumed he was English but see now he had a Scottish grandmother. I'm usually free Tues evenings so PM me if you fancy a beer before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
