====Hillsborough Stadium footbridge==== [[File:Hillsborough - Stadium footbridge.JPG|thumb|top|right|Hillsborough Stadium footbridge]] This footbridge connects Parkside Road with the main entrance to the football stadium. The bridge was built as part of the major Β£7 million re-development for the Euro 1996 international competition. As regards the stadium itself, the first match played was on 2 September 1899 and in 1966 the stadium was selected as one of the venues for the Football World Cup. Very close to the footbridge is a memorial to the 97 fans that lost their lives at Hillsborough in 1989, during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. In June 2007, the [[Sheffield flood of 2007|River Don burst its banks]] during a period of severe weather in the area and the whole ground was flooded with several feet of water. As part of the abortive plans for England staging the 2018 World Cup, a new bridge had been planned across the River Don for entry to the West Stand and would have been slightly upstream of the main entrance footbridge.
