A Rough Guide To Sheffield United Thursday, 11th Dec 2014 11:43 A little bit early for this one, but with the games coming thick and fast all the info you need to plan your trip to South Yorkshire with plenty of time to spare. Its been a fair few years since we last visited Bramall Lane, October 2008 to be exact when we got a 0-0 draw on the way to Administration and LeagueOne, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Getting There 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. Parking By Train The Ground The views are good although the upper level will offer a better one in my opinion. the usual fare in the concourses including betting outlets and tv screens showing the game. Overall Bramall lane is a decent stadium, the away end is probably the oldest part of it dating back to the late 60's early 70's and since then the other three sides have been completely rebuilt, the main or South Stand technically wasn't rebuilt as up to 1974'ish nothing stood on the South Side of the ground as Bramall Lane was also a cricket ground and effectively only three sides up to the mid 70's. Drinking Eating Etc The Pubs next to the ground tend to be for home fans only and Saints fans will need to walk towards the City Centre to find other pubs that will let them in, although with such a big following going it is likely that some of the pubs may find themselves packed with Saints fans before they have a chance to impose restrictions. Sheffield United have a very passionate following which can be intimidating at times so caution is advised. Watch out for Yorkshires toughest football firm though as voted for on Danny Dyer's documentary series of a few years ago, not as you might expect Leed's or Sheffield's own BBC but the South Yorkshire Police who stand no nonsense whatsoever.
