Newest Review: ... pub, The Railway, despite saying under new management, was closed. Perhaps the new management have been and gone? So we crossed the road to The New Bridge Inn. At first, we wasn't all that sure away fans were welcome so we covered up on entering only to find more Coventry fans inside so off came the jackets. Thank god as it was roasting. The heat wasn't helped by the fact that it is a very ... more

... small pub and space is limited. There's quite a lengthy wait for service as the bar staff looked a little overwhelmed. We never received any animosity inside and the beer was good. Pool table and games machine also available. The pub is around a 5 and ...more

Another one of my 'views of an away fan' series... Match: Sheff Wed v Coventry City Firstly I'd like to say how nice it was for the game to be completed, in full, on the day it was supposed to be.

Hillsborough, the home of Sheffield Wednesday is a stadium stepped in history and tradition, although one of the more memorable events at this ground is obviously the disaster at the Liverpool v Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi final where Liverpool fans sadly lost their lives as the terraces became too full. Upon my visit to the ground, it became immediately apparent that we would be sat in the very same end, the Leppings Lane end, and immediately thoughts of that day sprung to mind, although I was very young at the time. The stadium itself is very impressive once inside although it does look very dated on the outside and in the concourses. The ... Read the complete review
