Parking.

There is a large car park at the front of stadium but you will need to arrive early to park in there.

 

UNOFFICAL! - Other parking areas.

 

Across the road from the stadium there is a B&Q car park and just a little further along there is a big Morrisons supermarket car park but please check if you ok to park there!

 

Back down the main road from the stadium there might be some places near the Hyundai garage (Rawson Street) but it is a good walk from there.

 

There is street parking around and about but I suggest you have a look on Google Earth yourself before you set off.

the weather looks dodgy, and if it got called off, i think it wouldnt be as good a line up!

[Phil 303]

Don't suppose anyone knows if there will be a student rate?

[bananas 0]

I would think students will get OAP rate as long as they have a valid student card. Its a bit unfair if they don't to be honest, coz it's like that at most tracks I know of.

(I can say that as Im a student myself!!! )

 

Edit: and the weather doesn't look too bad later in the day, chins up people!!!

Just noticed on Sean's Website that you have to access the back stright via the Livesey Street turnstiles directly opposite the new Hillsborough College.

This I believe is down to Health and safety reasons that you cant walk round inside the stadium any more

Being a first timer (but could become a regular if racing is good!) to Sheffield can someone let me know the best place to stand?

 

This is especially true for Sunday if you cannot walk round the whole stadium. I do like to view from the back straight but not sure if I want to restrict myself to just that area. Also has it any cover if the rain comes?

 

All help gratefully received!

If I'm not mistaken the cafe part is on the home straight and so if you can't walk around the stadium will there be some refreshment area on or near the back straight?

 

Never been when the back straight is open so wouldn't know!
