Dick_Turpin Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 My dad is now in his 80s and unsteady on his feet. We used to park in the Wednesdayite car park but when it moved it became a bit of a trek for him so a few times I parked in that car park behind the timber yard across from Radio Hallam. You could pay in advance online to guarantee a spot but I can't find any receipts in my emails and can't find a link for the car park either. Can anyone help?

Dick_Turpin Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 If it's an incentive some of you may know him -he's an ex-bouncer so anyone who went to Faces in the 80s on Charles Street or supped in the Embo, the Ball, the Woodthorpe or the Birley may have been "welcomed" by him. He's a worthy cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a season ticket from them I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I think that car park was listed on JustPark. But doesn’t seem to be anymore. They have a twitter account but doesn’t look like it’s been updated in a while; perhaps it’ll be open but just no longer offered online? I think the club used to offer 5 quid parking in Hillsborough park. Might be worth calling ticket office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSWFC1867 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 This one wasn’t open for Town cup game and looked very overgrown, so I did wonder if it won’t reopen. I used to use it and now struggling to find somewhere else north of ground, as come down A61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would park a bit further away - jump on the tram and get off at Hillsborough Park Stop you are then just 5 minutes walk from the ground, If you want to pick up a Beres before you go in you can and eat it on the way. I never drive to the games but I am lucky living at Stannington, we used to walk down the hill and on to the match but local parking near the ground is now a nightmare and if the restriction brought in before continue it will be even worse. Does anyone know if the SAG restriction are still active as I have seen nothing from the club or Sheffield Council to suggest they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We park in hillsborough park you get a season long pass from Swfc but the cost for the season this year is £384 so not a cheap option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a worthy cause. He is a worthy cause if he's the bloke I'm thinking of. Maybe too much of a coincidence though. One of the lads on the door at the Embassy once gave me a couple of racing tips, everyone I worked with backed them and they both went in. That would be around 1976/1977 ish.

No not joking that’s the cost, it covers cup games as well so you could get more than the 23 league games.
