Pre-match pubs : Wed May 11, 2011 2:40 pm  

Anyone got any recommendations for pre-match pubs for Sunday close-ish to Bramall Lane? Minibus full arriving at half 1ish, would be good to chat to a few Eagles fans.

We dont want your sort in our pubs!

Normally Eagles fans can be found in the Nelson pub, which is near Decathlon, the pub at the railway station is a good place for a drink too

Nelson on Arundel Street is best. Ample parking and ten minutes walk from the lane.

Mmmmm make no wonder me and Mrs Airborne have been on our jacks in the Sportsman, plus it was shut for the vs Toulouse home game.

Went into the Cricketers Railway!! and made sure I wiped my feet.......on the way out.

I can vouch for the Sheffield Tap at the station but again we don't want away fans drinking the best beer - John Smiths/Carlsberg is perfectly good enough for travelling fans

PS - Nelson - stupid name for a pub in Sheffield, we have to be at least 70 miles from the nearest sea :S

Sounds like the Tap is the best bet, especially as a few of us like our ales. Cheers lads.

Google Thornbridge Brewery - the Sheffield Tap has several of their beers on at all times.
10 minute walk to the ground or 15-20 if yuo've been drinking Thornbridge Kipling or Jaipur

Not so.

It's so called because it was the 111th pub built in the city.
