Transport alert

Late Saturday kick-off

A 17:30 finish clashes with the last long-distance departures on Saturday evenings. Budget for an overnight if you are travelling far.

Transport alert

Season opener

August away ends sell out early and summer engineering works are common. Book travel as soon as tickets drop — everyone is keen in week one.

Ground note

Steel City derby fixtures carry police restrictions and often early kick-offs — expect coach travel to be enforced.

Ground note

The walk from the station is steeper than it looks on a map.
