    Tell me, do I need to get a tetenus booster before I go? And is protective clothing advisable?

    Any more helpful advise will be most welcome. ;)

    Just a set of scrotes all bark no bite. In my opinion you only find trouble if you go looking for it 90% of the time. I'll be there with no worries

    Again, might be advisable.
    Everything down at Bumhole Lane should be treated as caution advisory !

    Tickets for train and game bought so I have to go. Just hoping it will be well worth it as I will be with SU fans in their end. No doubt if the score goes the wrong way I'll be in for quite a bit of stick.

    I'll be in a hospitality box courtesy of my wife's employers. Dare I eat the food?

    Food? FOOD?
    I always thought the whole point of hospitality was the unlimited amout of alcohol that was available to drink.

    Can't go - other arrangements made - but would love to be going.
    A really interesting and exciting time to be a Barnsley fan right now with all these good new players.
    Be good to see how they perform under the added stress of a local derby.

    As for food - who wants to eat when there is all those good pubs to go in - starting in the railway station itself.
    As for trouble - stick with the main group of Barnsley fans - they'll be plenty of them there to deal with any bother.

    If any of them invite you round for tea, don't go into the basement.

    I could see you were concerned so I checked government advice for you. It states:

    Health
    Visit your health professional at least 4 to 6 weeks before your trip to check whether you need any vaccinations or other preventive measures. Specific information and advice is published by the National Travel Health Network and Centre on the TravelHealthPro website and by NHS (Scotland) on the fitfortravel website. Useful information and advice about healthcare abroad is also available on the NHS Choices website.

    Health facilities are limited in Sheffield and where present are of low quality. Make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment and repatriation.

    UK health authorities have classified Sheffield as having a risk of Zika virus transmission. For information and advice about the risks associated with Zika virus, visit the National Travel Health Network and Centre website

    Rabies, Malaria and other tropical diseases are common in Sheffield, especially during the football season (August-May).

    There are frequent outbreaks of cholera. Inbreeding is also rife

    The UNAIDS 2014 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic estimated that the prevalence percentage in Sheffield was 10.5% of the adult population compared to the prevalence percentage in adults in the UK of around 0.25%. You should exercise careful precautions to avoid exposure to HIV/AIDS.

    Humanitarian crisis
    Humanitarian needs in Sheffield have increased significantly since the development of Meadowhall Shopping Center with over 50% of the population in dire need of humanitarian aid. The ongoing social breakdown has seriously affected public infrastructure and services in the city. This has led to high unemployment, scarcity/prohibitive cost of food, lack of water, sanitation, health services and fuel.

    Crime
    Few visits to Sheffield are incident free. A large number of incidents have been reported of violent robbery, carjacking and kidnapping, largely driven by the low income and low education levels. These incidents were frequently reported in the area of Brammall Lane and also in the region of Hillsborough.

    The greatest risk to visitors is from pick pocketing and mugging. If you are staying for a longer period it is strongly recommended that you ensure your property is secured properly and guards are employed.

    You should take the following precautions against crime:
    • avoid crowds and political demonstrations.
    • don’t display or carry expensive items or large sums of money.
    • avoid walking alone after dark.
    • plan your transport arrangements and minimise use of public transport, taxis, minibuses and motorbikes. Some robberies have been carried out by associates of the drivers and other passengers.
    • familiarise yourself with your surroundings and remain vigilant.
    Hope this helps......
