Going To Rotherham?

Directions

Leave the M1 at Junction 34 and take the A6178 towards Sheffield City Centre. Keep straight on the A6178 (Attercliffe Road) and you will reach the stadium on your left. After passing the stadium turn left at the next traffic lights into Worksop Road and then left again for the stadium entrance. There should be car parking available at Pic Toys, which is on Worksop Road. The car park  is sign posted.

By Train/Tram

The nearest railway station is Sheffield, which is located around two and a half miles away. It is probably easiest to take the 15 minute journey on the Supertram from the station to the stadium. You can also catch the number 69 bus which stops only a couple of minutes walk away from the stadium. The bus journey time is around 7-8 minutes.

Other bus routes that run along Attercliffe Road by the stadium include numbers: 2, 8, 9, 59, 130 & 287. 

Trains to Sheffield take just over 1 hour but there are no trains to get back after the match

Pubs

The closest pub to the stadium is probably the Britannia on Worksop Road, which runs up to the back of the Stadium’s main stand. Its a fairly average pub. If fans travelling on the tram from the city centre, stay on the tram for one more stop past the stadium, or for those driving in from Meadowhall and the M1, then there are few more family orientated pubs, including one with a Wacky Warehouse. The Cocked Hat is on Worksop Road right at the side of  the stadium. They serve some decent beer and good food but it is only a small place and it won't take a lot for it to get packed. There is also the Wentworth (on the left hand side of the road on the way back towards the motorway and Meadowhall) which also serves decent beer and food. Next to the Wentworth is a big pub called the Arena Square.

The better pubs seem to be located further along Attercliffe Common heading away from the city centre towards Meadowhall. On the left up Attercliffe Common, is Carbrook Hall (either walk or alight at the Valley Centertainment tram stop). This building which is now a pub, is one of the oldest buildings in Sheffield, dating from around 1530. It also serves food and is claimed to be Sheffields most haunted pub
