    It`s the way they have converted to an all seater and kept it like the original .I also like how the stands are linked together.
    I am aware of the sadness connected to it but as an old ground I still love it

    I take it you don't like a pint before the game (close to the ground), as Hillsborough is a SHITHOLE

    I`ve gone on the train and found loads of great boozers. You obviously don`t know where to look.

    I like to partake of an ale within walking distance of the ground, not 7 miles away.

    Nothing wrong with the pubs IN BRIGHTON, apart from the fact they are not in FALMER, where the ground is.

    Last time we went, we stopped here:-- The Poacher, in Hurstpierpoint. Brilliant welcome and less than £3.00 a pint

    There are loads of great pubs in Sheffield - but I've never found a good one near Hillsborough on match day (unless I was with Wednesdayite mates and resigned to all the grief of watching from the home end).

    Hillsborough is the away ground I've been to most - as a fan and when I was working on Sheffield buses in the 1980s and doing regular football specials (more to Hillsborough than Bramall Lane for some reason). It is OK as a big traditional shed, but it is a long way from the city centre, the facilities are crap, and it'd not easy to find somewhere friendly close to the ground for a pint before kick off.

    I thank you

    PS:--- I replied about the wrong ground last time, but the same applies to both SHITHOLES

    I went with 1927 members who were well clued up on the pubs. The one which like most away days i can`t remember the name of was the other side of the ground just remember a 10 minute walk all down a steep hill to the ground no hassle and the landlord was very welcoming. The pubs in town are also quite accessible with the trams running from town to close to the ground.
    Why the **** i`m trying to convince people of my favourite ground i don`t ****ing know. it`s my personal choice.
