Directions

M1 to Junction 43
M621 until you pass the ground on your left. You then need to take the next exit from the motorway and turn left onto the A6110 ring road. Take the next left onto Elland Road for the ground. Just as you go under a railway bridge there are entrances on either side to a couple of very large car parks

About 97 miles - 1¾ hours


Pubs

The best nearby pub for away supporters is said to be the Dry Salters. Anybody know where it is?

Edit: Found it - it's at the far end of Elland Road, the other side of the railway bridge. Edit again: See post #19 in this thread from Stevie Lynex on the Wing

[MHS]

Anyone up for a Talkingballs pre-match pie and pint in the ground?

 

[fitz]

Presumably intending to travel back to Tyneside on either the 22:42 or the 23:42, so you will have plenty of time to buy Webbo and me a drink before you go!

Just been looking at the fares for your journey. Saver return is £40.40 but if you can be sure of getting specified trains you can do the journey for £25 or as little as £19 if you don't mind getting the later train back and changing at York. PM me if you can't find these fares. edit: there's also a way of using any train and only paying £28.40 for the return journey.

 

[LS6_Fox]

I'll be there, 3 points against the scum thank you please.

The Imperial
77 Cemetery Rd
Leeds, LS11 8SU

Ir's around 3/4 mile from the ground by road, might be a bit closer if there's a short cut by foot.

i think its the 11.42 train we get back, ive booked it for 35ish quid for the two of us, could have been cheaper if she said she had a rail card. yeah a pint sounds good, just let me know where and when
