Mr Hooper Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Leave early and jump on the tram to the city centre. Get off near where Primark used to be and run to the station. This will take 45ish mins though I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Pre order a taxi for 4.20, if you leave it any later you'll be stuck in the crowd. Ask for the taxi to pick you up at the club shop. Alternatively, go to the lane and leave anytime, never any queues there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I would order a taxi 4.40ish but pick up facing towards town. You don't want to have to negotiate roundabouts etc. Near the end of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juddiknight Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 We usually park behind Hillsborough leisure centre so get it to pick u up from back of there leave match 5-10 mins early run down the road it's not far you'll be at station before your train guaranteed. We live in Rotherham and usually we're at home for around 5.10pm so town should be no problem. Hope this helps. WAWAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodys Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 are you much of a runner? its only a half joke you could jog away from the crowds of hillborough in the right direction then grab a cab the rest of the way if possible you'll def have to leave early either way though id imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason is, if yours lets you down, there are always a few black cabs parked up waiting for fares after the match. Someone suggested the tram. Would not risk it, unless I was leaving around 430ish, and you have to faff about walking down from the hole in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One yellow for entering the pitch without the referees permission, and the other for descent. Bucket 'o' fishhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apswfcowl Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 4.40, Penistone Road, bus stop behind Kop and ask driver to be facing town. Might even get away with 4.45? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 One thing I've noticed is that we always seem to be one of the last games to finish. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Or sit on a footbal and get Simonsen to kick it to the train station....You may overshoot to Meadowhall tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Have you thought about ringing a taxi firm to see what time they advise leaving? I assume they have more experience of pre-full time traffic levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
