  ..Getting to Sheff Wed  
 


Hillsborough is situated 3 miles north of the city centre, but visitors are advised to avoid this route and approach the ground from the north instead. Parking is possible in the area just north of Hillsborough.

BY CAR:
From North: Exit M1 at junction 36 (s/p Barnsley (South) A61). At roundabout turn right (s/p Sheffield A61) onto the A61 dual carriageway. At roundabout after 0.9 miles, go straight on (s/p Sheffield North A61). (*)From here, signs to `Sheffield North' and `City Centre A61' lead directly to the ground, a distance of 5.6 miles. The route passes the Norfolk Arms after 3.4 miles, the Red Lion after 3.6 miles and the White Horse after 5.1 miles. The road leads to a roundabout (the Leppings Lane Roundabout) at the bottom of hill, by an Esso station. It forms the junction of the A61, Penistone Road and Leppings Lane.

From South: Exit M1 at junction 35A (s/p Manchester A616), and at roundabout follow signs to Manchester A616 onto the A616. At roundabout (by McDonalds) after 1.2 miles, take 1st exit (s/p Sheffield North A61) onto the A61. Then as From North(*).

There's a large car park at the Owlerton greyhound stadium, a 8-10 minute walk from the ground. To get there: from the Leppings Lane Roundabout by the ground, go straight on (s/p City Centre A61, Owlerton, Hillsborough), and the stadium is on the LHS after 0.6 miles (s/p Barnsley A61, Manchester A628). Alternatively, loop all the way round the Leppings Lane Roundabout and head back up the A61. Turn left almost immediately (s/p Clay Wheels) into Beeley Wood Road, which leads into Clay Wheels Lane. Cars park along here, and there's a secure car park at the site of an old brewery, on the RHS after 0.4 miles. For bigger games, the police contact local schools and other institutions to ask them to open their car parks for matchday parking, eg. the Chaucer School, on the A61 just before `The White Horse'.

FROM RAILWAY STATION (Sheffield): 3.5 miles. By taxi: �4.50.

By bus: Special buses run from Flat Street, next to the Pond Street Interchange. The Interchange entrance is opposite the station. Normal bus service nos. 43, 53, 74, 77, and 80 run along Penistone Road; nos. 57, 66, 67, 85 and 86 go via Middlewood. Mainline Buses usually park outside the visitors' end after the match to take fans back to the station. Last Midweek Trains: Call (0345) 484 950. On Saturdays, the police often escort the buses from Hillsborough to the railway station so London-based supporters can catch the 17.25.

BY SUPERTRAM: The Yellow line, from Meadowhall to Middlewood via the city centre, runs past the top of Hillsborough. Ask for the Leppings Lane stop. There are also connections from the railway station.
