k2hardcore Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 booked the train yesterday 25quid return from new street direct to sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammoth10 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 booked the train yesterday 25quid return from new street direct to sheffield Was that with a railcard? Anyway anyone looking at train travel don't get ripped off, there are currently returns avaialble for £11.50 e/w however this requires selected trains (as opposed to the on the day fare of £37.80) If you are prepared not to have booked seats though split your tickets into a day return New St - Derby (£13.70) and day return Derby - Sheff (£8.80), totalling £22.50. Also to add you won't need to change trains doing this either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJRM050389 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Got tickets for £15 with my rail card a week or so ago. Where's everyone drinking for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Are Villa doing coaches to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMarlon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Are Villa doing coaches to this? They are, when I called up and booked tickets earlier they asked me if I require a coach but I'm getting the train instead. Anybody know how far from the station the ground is and what the best pubs for away fans are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Strangely, the OS dosen't seem to include info on official travel anymore, but they do run to every away game, best option is to ring the ticket office pal you can book it through there.

rob09 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The best away pub is The Howard, literally just opposite the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The best away pub is The Howard, literally just opposite the train station. How far is that from the ground, walking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob09 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 No more than a minutes walk! Just turn right out the station and up the steps across the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan_avfc Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 just realised i know the howard, saw it when i went to look at sheffield hallam in october 09 with it being a minute's walk from the main uni entrance. walked from there to some accommodation by bramall lane. probably a 15-20 minute walk so not bad. looking forward to it. maloney, it depends. we usually go to a pub beforehand and get to the ground 10-15 mins before kick off and into the stands as the players are coming onto the pitch. obviously when there's no pubs we'll go to the ground a little earlier and have a sing and a drink in the concourse. unless that is you're at reading where there's no pubs for miles around and when you get inside the aptly named john smiths stand, there's no alcohol being served. personally, i really don't see the appeal of getting to a ground more than half an hour before kick off but a lot of people do.
