Tickets for our Sky Bet Championship away game against Sheffield Wednesday will go on sale to Members at 9am on Wednesday. We then went for some food and got some hot pork sandwiches from Beres around the corner. The second half was a completely different story with Norwich upping the pace and producing some fantastic passing football that totally outclassed the home team, eventually running out 4-0 winners. A very poor experience sadly.The game itself started in true Rovers fashion with us conceding early doors.
For anyone that has never been to Hillsborough or the city of Sheffield, the tram system is very easy to understand and shouldn't cause you any problems. I also thought the surrounding areas of the ground were not pleasing to the eye. There are plenty of places to park near the ground itself and I ended up sticking the car in Hillsborough Leisure Centre for a fiver. Blackpool continued to dominate in the second half and on 54 minutes Sylvestre scored an absolute cracker into the goal in front of the 600 or so Blackpool fans who had the made the trip - they were in good voice all game and I take my hat off to them. It dropped us off near to the away entrance.Nothing much bought a programme which was £3 which was a really decent price.I couldn't see really see the ground on our coach ride into Sheffield. On another day, we might have nicked something, but as we stalwarts know, that’s football for you, you don’t always get your just desserts and you’ve just got to grin and move on to the next match. I often visit family in Sheffield, and drive past the ground every time I visit the city, however have never been inside, and was looking forward to doing so. The reward for being the early riser was not only a smooth trouble free drive, but also the pick of some free on-street parking near the ground almost immediately after we’d coasted past the façade of the Main Stand which I’d never knowingly seen before and found suitably impressive.We meandered down to the away end, the sadly notorious Leppings Lane end, where the façade is, errr, sadly not quite as impressive as the Main Stand. This was completely ridiculous - barricading 2000 away fans into the same end as the disaster years ago.
Please note that this is a home pub that welcomes small numbers of visiting supporters who appreciate their real ale, not a pub specifically for away fans.For those with a little bit more time on their hands or planning to travel to the ground by Supertram, then the Hillsborough Hotel near the Langsett/Primrose View tram stop (two stops from Hillsborough going towards Meadowhall/Halfway) is worth a visit. The stewards were very friendly and although they checked our bags before we went in there was no problem.
After we parked up we walked to a nearby pub called The Railway which was only five minutes walk from our parking spot. I was a bit disappointed with the home fans towards the end of the game; many left very early on in order to get a tram away from the ground quickly - during weeknights the tram runs less often than normal, so there's usually a procession of fans leaving early, desperate to get to the tram before it gets too crowded at the tram stop - me and my mate found it quite funny once we realised that after the 75 minute mark there were more Stoke fans than Wednesday fans on our row! Although there was a good contingent of city fans, this is a bit Two tiered stand that can accommodate up to 7,000 fans, so only the top tier was utilised. Away days don’t get much better than this!This was my first visit to Hillsborough, made possible by having three midweek rest days from work. So we ended up in a KFC. We had a great natter with them before the game and they filled us in on what it had been like to be a Wednesday supporter for the last twenty years or so. The old Hillsborough sign at the top of the stand opposite me with the clock, the Kop (which wasn’t open for the game) was huge. With it being the last game of the season and Wycombe unfortunately already down, I travelled to Hillsborough simply to experience the ground and most probably a promotion party!I was really excited for this game mainly because I'm a big fan of the FA Cup and Hillsborough has to be one of my favourite grounds. Hillsborough is a very historic ground and one I wanted to tick it off the 92.I made the mistake of walking from Sheffield Railway Station to the stadium which is around four miles whereas there is a bus that takes 15 minutes and only costs £1.70. At half time I stayed in my seat and tried to keep warm, like many others I wasn't prepared to venture out of the back of the stand to queue for refreshments in the freezing cold. It was so great to see it again.
The car parks are a 10 minute walk to the stadium and are safe and secure.
