Is it. Far as I know there's a motorway right next to ground with plenty of car parking and plenty of bus links from city centre

The last time I was up there, arriving via the train station, I found a bus part of the way there, but then walked the rest of the way. The same on the way back in reverse.

and only 1 junction off the motorway. For the Tri-Nations final in 2004 it took about 90minutes to get off the motorway onto the (only) carpark.

I take it there will be a France v England game played mid season.

Why have they not announced the date or venue??

Rumours are that it will be played in Paris in June.

2 junctions, 3 if you come down the A62 (Gelderd Road). I'd recommend the latter, park and eat at the Pack Horse then walk from there.

edited for accuracy

it's not a rumour..the french annonced it 2 weeks ago..saturday 13th june in paris

Indeed.

Five pages of discussion, including complaints, rlhererl.

I'll go to Donny and Elland Road. I might consider Huddersfield given the historical failure to attract crowds to NZ games in this country. The RFL can stick Wigan up its a[ir[/ise.

It's about a half hour walk from Leeds city station to Elland Road. The route can't be described as picturesuque, but I am willing to show people the way if they will buy me a pint in the Grove or the Adelphi before the game.

Disappointed by the TBCs on the France home games.

what about getting the train to cottingley?

I'm not sure that Cottingley's that much closer than the main train station. Plus the Drysalters isn't as good as the Grove.

Ohhhh, I've just twigged I'll be living in Leeds at the time of the tournament.
'Appen I'll pop into Huddersfield (though I'm unsure why we insist on constantly playing NZ matches there? perhaps a safe option, rather than facing the possibility of not selling a stadium out against the ockers) and Elland Road. Might also venture into the fair city of Doncaster, too.

think its a decent enough list, would have preferred the England-Australia clash to be somewhere more ambitious like the COM, the Reebok though or even Anfield though.

surely with the 2 french games they will go for one game in Paris and one at Catalan.

paris & toulouse apparently
