That pub has shut down now. I’m trying to find out where else to go as my wife is from there and we have friends who are boro fans asking around.

Check Leicester Events Police on Twitter, later today or in the morning. They generally tweet which pubs we can go in. Hope that helps

If you're planning to go by train, don't forget that you can sometimes get good savings by "splitting tickets" (ie buying separate tickets for different legs of the journey).

 

It doesn't always help, but in this particular case you can reduce the price of Leicester to Middlebrough from an obscene £122 (or £119 if you buy advance tickets) to a "cheaper" £55-£57.

 

(Leicester-Sheffield 2 advance singles for £13.50,  Sheffield-York £21.80 offpeak day return,  York-Middlesbrough 2 advance singles £19.40, or flexible return for £21.30).    The only real restriction here being that you have to go via the above stations Sheffield and York.

 

You can also get 1/3 off these prices if you have a railcard (obvs).

Have you seen an option for this route as all I’m finding back is via Darlington

All Good twisted lip, sherlocks  are smaller bars, so no room for loads to gather, but that and southfield right on uni campus, but open for all, are a much further walk from the ground (theyre all in same area) - around 25-30 mins walk from ground

 

Play Brew is fairly new, so not heard much wrong but right on other side of town

https://book.splitticketing.com is one of the web sites that gives you some options about split ticketing, but it sometimes comes up with a bit of a complicated solution with too many tickets involved.

I usually use it as a prompt or guide and do a bit of research via the "normal" National Rail website.

 

In this particular instance the advance prices aren't quite as good, as it's only one day before.   

 

But you can still get Leicester to Sheffield advance singles for £8.60 + £12  ie total £20.60.   The other 2 legs are still as shown above.

 

So if you didn't want to bother with any advance tickets, and just want fully flexible ones, it costs a little bit more, but the adult (non railcard) prices are

 Off peak return Leicester-Sheffield  £33.90      (or split further Leicester-Derby £13.70, Derby-Sheffield £13.90, total £27.60 ... save another £6.30)

 Off peak day return Sheffield-York £21.80

 Off peak day return York-Middlebro £21.30   (TPE trains direct York-Northallerton-Yarm-Thornaby-Middlesbro_

 

Total £77   (or £70.70 if further split Leicester-Derby-Sheffield)

 

 

<<< EDITED TO SAY

For example

D. Leicester 08.37   (via Derby)

A. Sheffield   09.45

D.   "    10.21

A. York   11.30

D.   "    12.39   (there is a train 1 hour later, a bit too tight for comfort)

A. Middlesbro   13.36

 

D. Middlesbro 18.21    (you might just be able to catch the earlier 17.20 if the game finished on time, and you walked v quickly to the stn)

A. York       19.17

D.   "    19.44

A. Sheffield   20.54

D.    "              21.00   (this is a tight connection, but you can get back to Leicester leaving Sheffield at 21.04 or 22.05, by changing at Nottingham, arr 23.20 and 23.51 respectively

A. Leicester   22.07   (Note this is probably a good reason NOT to split tickets at Derby, as oherwise you can't legally come back via Nottingham)
