Im attending this match and was wondering if we will be in the upper tier once more? Last time i went was inflatable day and we had the upper tier and created a great atmosphere so hopefully we will take several hundred and go about repeating our 6-0 thrashing we gave them at the Madejski back in September.

For people who have been to Hillsborough before, how long does it take to get from the train station to the ground by bus?

If I get in at 19.10 for a 19.45 kickoff will I get there in time? Or should we aim to get in for 18.41?

First time for me too despite the fact I went to uni in Sheffield for three years (actually I might have been there once but my memory is a bit foggy).

Anyway realised today that it's only 9 years since Wednesday were in the Prem - thought it was longer than that.

Sheffield Railway Station is situated in the town centre, two miles from the ground. Either get a taxi up to the ground or the bus station is a one minute walk from the railway station. Cross over at the pedestrian crossing, and follow the signs. Head for the far side of the terminus. Bus no. 53 to Ecclesfield runs regularly to the ground (every ten minutes), the journey time is about 30 minutes. Jeremy Dawson informs me; 'if arriving by train, by far the easiest way to get to the ground is by tram, which run every ten minutes during the day. Leaving the station on a blue tram, you can either change to a yellow one in the city centre, which takes you to Leppings Lane (right by the ground), or stay on the blue one to Hillsborough, which is 10 minutes walk to the ground'. The journey time of the tram is around 20 minutes. Matt Wilcock adds; 'on matchdays regular shuttle buses run from the road at the far side of the bus station They are marked football'.
