Yep. Bought mine online yesterday for the West stand - next to the away end (where all the village idiots congregate). I chose West stand as it's nearest the main road for a quick getaway. I'll be parked just off Whit Moor down some side street so it's ideal.

The ground, unsurprisingly, is rectangular in shape, so both the West and East stands are equally near the away fans. It's clear from the CFC website which blocks are nearest, but if in doubt on the day then it's the North end where the away fans are - that's the end nearest to Sheffield.

I've sat amongst the home fans before. It's fine as long as you don't jump up and celebrate when we score. Also, remember to call everyone "duck" not "pal" and you'll ok.

I think "pal" would get you a kicking for being southern, just don't say "love" that really will identify you as a Blade. Then again you could keep saying "know warra mean" every ten seconds and they would think you were the Pitsmoor Pig.
 
Not encroaching on Roy's territory & it's a bit early anyway for pre Chessie match views but.... I couldn't let this pass from their forum without sharing it...... If anyone sees Westbars Spireite buy him a pint.

"From my experience United fans have far more grasp on reality that Wednesday fans. They usually have a concept of football their own stadium & don't believe that the world revolves around them. "
 
The side stand is divided between home and away. (Furthest from the road on the map).

I sat amongst 'em when we got stuffed the year before last. Not enjoyable, but definitely not threatening either.
aye, was in the home end in 2014 - rumbled toward the end and no one battered an eyelid. It's all reyt.
 
Going on the home end is neither a good idea nor a sensible one. You will certainly need to keep your trap shut if you do so because otherwise (a) you will be identified and be on the receiving end of some unfriendly behaviour and (b) you'll probably be thrown out as well.

Likewise the pubs. The Derby Tup is a really good pub but if you do manage to get in you'll find it's so rammed that by the time you get your pint the match will probably be kicking off. There is an excellent chip shop more or less next door, though, so best to take a hip flask and have some chips to keep out the cold.
 
Just noticed, when looking at Google maps for the Derby Tup, on the way to the M1 out of Chessie on the A617 - if you took the turn off for Spital Lane you'd end up in Cock Alley!
Whoulda thoght that?

Never noticed that place before.
 
The Victoria or the Red Lion are usually full of Blades fans just typical lager and the odd hand pull places, The derby tup(nice ale pub) and the Spireite (obvs) are usually full of Chezzy Mongs.

A tell you wot ar fink tho - ar fink Mr Chanseeri yeh? ar fink he's doin a good job! He's tekkin them Owls backwards at lightning speed!
 
This is a VERY open forum and historically MAY have contributed to tickets being dishonoured.. I managed to get into the away part two years ago and it wasn't pleasant. Blades were easily identified and not just by cheering etc. These inbreds know each other, there aren't that many watering holes, places to breed and recreate and buy clothes. Trust me, when I say I dressed down and I'm hardly a tailors dummy!

So, I wouldn't be posting where you're sat and would be considering your match day image and behaviours...

Men calling each other 'luv' and asking for a 'breadcaaaake' gave it away.

You have captured that with absolute accuracy. Perfection pal.

I once saw George Michael in the area.

He was buying a paper, 20 Richmonds and a Mars bar.
