Genk Posted 1 November, 2009 Posted 1 November, 2009 Looking forward to this one in December. Can't decide how to get up there. £80 on the train is quite a lot but then again 7 hours on a coach is a long time. How are others getting up there?
RonManager Posted 1 November, 2009 Posted 1 November, 2009 Train, but holding off buying as it could be live and get moved to Sunday.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 1 November, 2009 Posted 1 November, 2009 Will probably go on the coach - Went to Carlisle on the coach and that was about 6 hours each way so Leeds won't seem too far compared to that!
ericofarabia Posted 1 November, 2009 Posted 1 November, 2009 Flying from Dubai A few days earlier admittedly, final part of the journey by train from Leigh Lancashire. :cool:

Saint Samuel Posted 1 November, 2009 Posted 1 November, 2009 Will be getting the travel coach up for this one, big game.
Sour Mash Posted 2 November, 2009 Posted 2 November, 2009 Train, but holding off buying as it could be live and get moved to Sunday. Think they've already announced the TV games for that weekend, at least I hope they have as we've already booked our travel up!
sticksaint Posted 5 November, 2009 Posted 5 November, 2009 If you`re looking for a place to drink:the german market will be open at Millenium Square(5 mins from the train station).Last year there were bouncers on the door so not too sure if they will let away fans into the beer tent .......
Michelle Posted 5 November, 2009 Posted 5 November, 2009 I be driving. Gotta race back to So'ton for a gig too, could be fun!
Kaiser Soze Posted 5 November, 2009 Posted 5 November, 2009 This has got weekender written all over it.
keithd Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 im driving up. staying with in-laws who are ST holders at Elland Road. last time was 3-0 to us, possibly made up for the 4-3 the previous (or was it same) season at St Mary's dinner at the Aagrah in Garforth after. lets hope with a smug grin on my face
Arizona Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Probably going to drive and visit relatives in Lincoln. Just over an hour away from Leeds.
St Will Posted 12 November, 2009 Posted 12 November, 2009 I am going to be driving up from North Hampshire. I'm originally from Wakefield, so I know Leeds well. I might be up for car sharing if anybody would like a ride up there? I imagine it'll take quite a while on a coach - I don't hang around so should get there in 3 hours. If anybody is interested, let me know!
bungle Posted 12 November, 2009 Posted 12 November, 2009 Can't find any advance fares from Bath, so might have to give this one a miss. Usually would be happy about that, but if we are still in form it could be a corking game. Hmmm.
Saint_Jonny Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Im hanging around after uni breaks up for xmas for this one, only up the road, got the old man comming up to stay for it aswell, cant wait! Any idea when the tickets are likely to go on sale?
Andy_Porter Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Massive game for us. If we beat Leeds away then I'll be in for a good Christmas, my mum's side of the family are all Leeds fans so should be interesting.

sticksaint Posted 27 November, 2009 Posted 27 November, 2009 Just been announced the bus drivers (in Leeds) are going on strike on the 19 december.So i`m assuming there will be no shuttle buses to Elland road from the city centre.So it`s a blooming long walk or a taxi :-( There are more talks planned though

Maybe the strike will fall through when it filters through to the drivers that their wifeys will use the opportunity to drag their sorry arses around the shops for the last weekend before Xmas shopathon :grin:
Saint_Jonny Posted 29 November, 2009 Posted 29 November, 2009 Ticket details up for this one on the OS, 1119 tickets in the initial allocation, could get another 600 if demand is there (which we would all expect to happen!) This is the biggest away trip of the season for me, an away trip to a big stadium against a big team! Shame about the £26 ticket price with sod all concession for teens / students!
This Charming Man Posted 29 November, 2009 Posted 29 November, 2009 Ticket price is a joke for this, don't they realise they're a sh*tty L1 club these days? I'm still going though...
saint_coxy Posted 2 December, 2009 Posted 2 December, 2009 Any one got any ideas for pubs for this one? I am driving up and staying in the Bewley Hotel, and will be up there around 12 ish and want to find the pub where everyone is going
Golden Balls Posted 2 December, 2009 Posted 2 December, 2009 Ticket prices are well over the top. Still going as its my birthday so making a weekend of it. Doubt we'll get a big turn out though so close to xmas!

MELKSHAMSAINT Posted 3 December, 2009 Posted 3 December, 2009 Looking forward to this one. Going with my 2 boys and my brother and his 2 kids who live in Nottingham if we can get tickets that is. Was looking at other League One websites and noticed that Leyton Orient fans were only charged £21 for adult prices for Leeds away. Was slightly annoyed but then realised that was played on a Tuesday night so Leeds probably cut prices for them. They know that we have a big away following so obviously they are trying to make as much from us as they can. Anyway this is our first away game of the season so really looking forward to it

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 December, 2009 Posted 5 December, 2009 Going up on the train. Not looking forward to that walk from the station, so a taxi may be in order...both ways!!
St Will Posted 5 December, 2009 Posted 5 December, 2009 Going up on the train. Not looking forward to that walk from the station, so a taxi may be in order...both ways!! You'll get one on the way in, but getting one on the way back might be interesting....it's a bastard around Elland Road after the game
sticksaint Posted 5 December, 2009 Posted 5 December, 2009 Going up on the train. Not looking forward to that walk from the station, so a taxi may be in order...both ways!! Re the bus strike .Firstbus have made an improved offer -the drivers are voting on tuesday.So there might be buses after all.
TUS Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 You'll get one on the way in, but getting one on the way back might be interesting....it's a bastard around Elland Road after the game I remember getting lucky one year. Walked out the ground, 100m up the road and flagged the first taxi I saw :-) The walk IS a bastard though!!
ericofarabia Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 It will be a bit quicker getting chased back to town by The Leeds Service Crew after our 3-1 win :cool:
This Charming Man Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 According to the OS we have sold 700 tickets already so the club have requested extra tickets, our allocation is now 1700, appears we have to sell the lot by tomorrow to get the full allocation (no chance of that happening) so I reckon we'll have sold our allocation by the time this comes round. Good stuff.
Andy_Porter Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I'll be driving up to this one. Same here, anyone know of anywhere decent to park near the ground?
Michelle Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Pub down the road from the ground - can't honestly remember the name of it, but they let us park there a few years ago...
Michelle Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 (edited) Scrap that, found it - The Drysalters - and according to FGG it's shut now. Saying that, I have just had a quick scan on Google, and other stories are saying it's open and been refurbished... confused.com!!! Edited 7 December, 2009 by Michelle
Dr Who? Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 I can confirm that it did close down and re-open, but cannot confirm at the moment if it is still open, but will find out! Great pub just over the road from the ground, with plenty of free parking and a quick exit!

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Re the bus strike .Firstbus have made an improved offer -the drivers are voting on tuesday.So there might be buses after all. Luckily my brother and a few of his mates are staying over the night, so hopefully I can grab a lift back to the station with them after the match as they are driving up, I think.
knellster Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 For those that are driving please don't be tempted to park on the pavement near the ground. There's a road going up the hill near The Pea**** pub that always has cars parked on the very wide pavement which makes people think it's ok, but when you come out after the game you'll see tickets on all of them. Also, unless it's changed since I was living up there The Pea**** pub is strictly home supporters only and the bouncers check match tickets to stop away fans getting in.
sticksaint Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 The Drysalters pub is open -i`ve just phoned up.

Any more parking ideas? I may have a spare seat if anyone needs a lift up. Salisbury area.
sticksaint Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Bus strike still on.First bus plan to run some services due to management etc.Whether there will be any shuttle services ,i dont know
ericofarabia Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 Bus strike still on.First bus plan to run some services due to management etc.Whether there will be any shuttle services ,i dont know The uncertainty of how often the buses are running, and possible scarcity of taxis really will cut into valuable drinking time :cool: Talking of which, any recommendations for pubs in the city centre?
sticksaint Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 Whitelocks on briggate-down a little alley just up from M and S.It`s a little pub but there should be a few leeds saints in there.Just introduce yourself :-) Ps it is hard to find!
keithd Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/18?&search=leeds&itemsPerPage=10®ion=uk Nice weather for those going up Friday...!!
View From The Top Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Winter warmers out for this 1 I think!
ericofarabia Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Winter warmers out for this 1 I think! Spare a thought for me, I'm leaving mid afternoon temperature of about 26c tomorrow .... Leeds at -2 in snow showers will be a bit of a change
