Hi there everyone, exiled Spireite from Scotland here

I'm coming to the Shrewsbury game on the 23rd October, meeting up with other members of the family who live in town. Problem is, after the game we're off to watch the ice hockey at the Sheffield Arena and we need to make a sharp getaway after the football has finished.

We're going to be picked up in a minibus taxi to get us off to the Arena. Trouble is, I have not been to the b2net before and need some ideas about where is the best place to get the taxi to meet us. I'm not especially familiar with the area around the ground but imagine it's chocca after the games. We don't want to be stuck in traffic for ages, so if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate them.

Can you suggest where we could get the taxi to meet us, using your knowledge of the roads etc in the area and the usual congestion at that time.

Cheers

I'd say ask him to meet you outside the old fire station, nearly directly across road from the main entrance, with him facing North pointing towards Sheffield. from there you can then get on the A61 (Dronfield by-pass) quite easily

I would suggest that or something like the car park at KFC or Tesco which would allow him to use the lights to get out onto the dual carridgeway at the big roundabout.

Thanks for the responses. I'll pass the information on to relatives in town so they can speak with the taxi company.

Gets my vote.

Enjoy the game

Pressumably, the taxi company will be one of the Club's sponsors?!

To avoid all matchday traffic in its entirety, book one from the other side of the dual carriageway, on Pottery Lane (near The Junction Pub), to get there from the ground its a five minute walk under the subway and railway bridges but the 'getaway' beats anything Sheffied Road side! Tried and Trusted.
