Leeds
Getting to and from the ground
The ground is around a 35 minute walk from the station, and a bit longer from
elsewhere in the city centre. Catching a bus is therefore an attractive option.
There should be shuttle buses running from just along the street from the
station. These start 90 minutes before kick-off. If
you want to get to the ground any earlier than this then you'll have to catch a
bus from Vicar Lane.
If you're driving to the game then there are a few official car parks around the
ground, although these will set you back a few quid. My suggestion though is to
park in the streets in the Domestic Street area. Not only is it free, you'll be
back on the M621 in no time after the game. The only drawback is that this is
the opposite site of the ground from the Drysalters (see below).
The various bus stops and parking
options are marked on the pub map at the bottom.
Pubs
All the pubs anywhere near to the
station will be full of Leeds thugs, and are therefore to be avoided. There are
though city centre pubs where away fans should be ok, especially if they're
discreet. I'd suggest heading for the pubs up the little alleys off the west
side of Briggate (Whitelocks, Ship, Angel), or alternatively the pubs in the
Headrow/Westgate area (Mr Foley's, Victoria, Town Hall Tavern).
For anyone arriving by car and going straight to the ground the options are severely limited. A few of the pubs around the ground have shut
down over the years, and those remain are mostly home fans only. They might not
be officially so, but trust me that you don't want to drink in them! One
exception to this is the Drysalters, which is a 10 minute walk from the ground
and is the pub where most away fans tend to go. It's a bit of a family pub that
does food, and the beer's cheap. They don't have any hand-pulled beer though.
The only other option is the Old White Hart on Beeston Town Street, which is a
traditional Tetley's pub. It gets very busy on match days, but apparently it's
ok for away fans if they're discreet.
