Sat 19th October 2013, Sheffield United v Vale, Pre Match, the game itself

[Mcphee4Scotland]

Just noticed via the official website that Sheffield United away on 19 October is an All ticket affair for Vale fans.:)

 

Tickets go on sale from Friday 27 September. We have an initial allocation of 1,900 tickets in the Jessica Ennis Lower Tier.:rolleyes:

 

I'm sure demand will be pretty high for tickets with Sheffield being a cracking city to make a day of it and Brammall Lane is a proper good old traditional ground. This away day will probably be up there with one of the biggest Vale followings this season. We took around 3,300 there last season for the 2nd round of the FA Cup. I reckon around 1,600-1,800 Vale fans will make the journey this time around.

 

Ticket prices are pretty well priced aswell, see below:

 

Prices:

 

Adults £19.50

 

Seniors (60+) £15

 

Students (NUS ID) £15.00

 

Young Adults (16-21) £15.00

 

Juniors (U16) £9.50

 

Disabled £15.00

 

Carer: FOC

A good day out Sheffield is normally. I enjoy the journey across through Longnor and Bakewell etc.

 

We owe them one after that Cup game last season! I think Shaun Miller is injured as normally the bugger always seems to score against us! They're certainly under achieving at the moment I just hope it continues for when we play there!

[SneydGreenValiant]

Did we not take over 3000 there last season?

 

Will we take anywhere near that again in 3 weeks time??

Around half in my view.

[Portly Vale]

I'll be going. Playing their supporters team in the morning before too..

[bertiepee]

We took over 3000 the cup game because if I remember right it was only £10 a ticket

[blinkme]

"All ticket"

 

Don't waste your time, money and effort with that nonsense....it will be pay on the day.

Which is the better view Jessica Ennis lower or upper.

[Vital Spark]

If you're going on the train, there's three pubs a 2 minute walk straight ahead from the station, towards the University. There's another called the Royal Standard 500m away going towards Bramall Lane but I'm not sure if it's a strictly home pub.

 

If you're driving, there's a massive B&Q carpark you can use 5 mins from the ground. There's a shopping complex and KFC car park just across the road from there as well.

 

Don't park near the ground, especially Edmund Road, unless you want to spend Sunday filling in an insurance claim.

 

I don't know if SU charge to post tickets but I live 5 mins from Bramall Lane and would be happy to pick them up for Vale fans.

 

I'm sure there's a 2hr limit restriction on the B&Q carpark.

Which is the better view Jessica Ennis lower or upper.

 

Lower. Go in through the back door.

Which is the better view Jessica Ennis lower or upper.

 

Definitely lower but if you mean the stand probably upper.

[HullValiant]

Can I remind fans with flags that Sheff Utd is a no go unless your flag has a kite mark. The stewards confiscate untilaafter the match at the turnstiles. I just can't remember the last time my Hull Valiant flag burst into flames!

[Fosse69]

It's free entry, they can't really check.

 

There's parking further away in town in multistories for about 3 quid. 15 minute walk from the ground.

They could note all reg numbers as is done in Leicester and the Ricoh.

The team I hate the most behind Stoke. Going to try my best to be there, working in Bristol so not as far as normal.
