This weekend Walsall make the trip North to take on Sheffield United in the latest Sky Bet League 1 fixture of the season. Once again we have teamed up with ToThe92.co.uk to bring you the latest information, including where to park and where to pick up some pre-match refreshments.

 STADIUM INFORMATION 
Bramall Lane is the oldest league stadium in the world and hosted its first game in 1862 whilst hosting the worlds first ever floodlit match in 1878. There are few bad seats in the house, although the Hallam FM stand behind one of the goals has a few supporting pillars and can affect your view. The whole stadium is full of character as you'd expect for a stadium this old. All 4 corners are filled in with either seating or admin offices but it adds to the overall feel and also helps to keep the atmosphere in.

 TICKET INFORMATION 
Advance tickets for this game will go on sale from the Banks's Stadium Ticket Office as from Wednesday, November 19th 2014 at the following prices: £19.50 (adults), £13 (over-60s), £11 (young adults aged 17-21 and students with valid NUS card) and £1 (juniors under-17).

A decision will be made closer to the game as to whether it will be possible to purchase tickets on the day of the game. If this is the case then adult price will increase by £2 and concessionary prices will increase by £1, although the admission price for juniors under-17 will remain at £1.

There are a maximum of ten pairs each of ambulant and wheelchair disabled tickets with carer. These are priced at £13 for the disabled supporter with carer free of charge - available for persons with higher or middle rate DLA.

Tickets will be on advance sale from the Banks's Stadium Ticket Office up until midday on Friday, December 19th.

 AWAY SUPPORTERS 
Visiting supporters are situated in the lower tier of the Halliwells stand where up to 3,000 travelling fans can be catered for. The views are unobstructed and very good whilst the facilities and leg room are also reasonable. Tickets can be purchased on the day although I always recommend getting them in advance.

 STADIUM LAYOUT 
 WHERE TO DRINK 
There are a good set of pubs near to the ground including The Golden Lion which is located in Alderson Road, off Woodhead Road and is a 5 minutes walk from the away entrance. It welcomes both home and away fans and there is a healthy level of banter in here on match days.

The city centre has some excellent pubs and is only a ten minute walk away, so drinking here and walking to the game is certainly a viable option.

 CAR PARKING 
A lot of people suggest in Meadowhall Shopping Centre and taking a tram in to avoid the town centre but in all honesty, if you're going to arrive early enough to do that you'll probably be early enough to find street parking in the roads surrounding the stadium. Do arrive early though, there's lots to see so it'll be worth your while.

 TRAVELLING BY TRAIN 
The nearest / closest train station to Sheffield United's Bramall Lane Stadium is Sheffield. The mainline railway station is around a 10-15 minute walk from the football ground.

To get to Bramall Lane from the station: turn left as you leave the station and walk along Sheaf St for a couple of minutes until you reach a right turn onto St Mary's Street. Walk along here for approximately 0.2 miles and take the left turn onto Shoreham Street. The ground is about 0.3 miles (2 minutes) further down on the right.
