Hi All,

I am a season ticket holder that rarely goes to away games. On this occasion I have dipped my toe in the away water! I wondered if any of you seasoned away fans have any tips or best places to park in Sheffield?

Much appreciated!

Park somewhere central (there's a couple of multi-storeys from what I remember - circa £8) then get the tram (yellow line - £3 for day pass) to leppings lane. Couple minutes walk from there.

If you're driving up the M1, park for free at Meadowhall and get the tram in. It's about 40 mins via tram.

That's going to take you a fair while to even start heading home after the game!

For the league game earlier this season we parked in a car park on Penistone Road, which runs alongside the opposite end of the ground to the away end. It was cheap and convenient but did take a fair while to get out again after.

This all day long as you will beat most traffic to the M1. The tram stop is about 150 yards from the Away (Leppings Lane) end and if you leave on the final whistle you should get on one of the first trams that come along easily enough though obviously they do get packed.

Is that the car park near the bowl? we parked in a car/coach park up there on left, next to a bakery I think. Was a nightmare to get out as Police were letting the traffic on the main road clear first. Another time we parked up in a housing estate at the same end. No problems and out pretty quick if you know the way.

We're going to be cutting it very fine for time, I guess we'll figure it when we get there

I will ask the question on Thursday as I am at our Sheffield office and there are a few wendies there.
.
Junct 33 and The Sheffield Parkway does get very busy and the slightest accident the place is gridlocked.
Junct 35,Prince of wales roundabout off M1 then follow signs to the left, takes you slightly away then drops down at opposite end to away end.

I have parked in a garage forecourt about 100 yards from the away end on my last two visits. Hope to do so again.

With all due respect to the above posters the trams are horrendous and dangerously overcrowded, whereas I've always been able to park easily within five to ten minutes walk of the ground.

My experience of the trams, having used them several times, is that they're about as busy as buses or trains. Not horrendous or overcrowded. I've been to midweek games and Saturday kickoffs.

Fair enough, just had a horrible experience of been pushed onto one Japanese metro stylee, though it was many years ago.

I'm in Sheffield now after having to work here for two days. Park near the new Sheffield College ( not to be confused with the universities) as you come in from J33 of the M1. There is a tram stop just over the road from there near the McDonalds. This is near, but just above the railway station.

Several Blades fans have wished Brighton the best of luck as they obviously want to see Wednesday beaten. They are also rather glad to have seen the back of Nigel Adkins.

On another note, anyone got a spare ticket as sold out.
