Quote: Winslade's Offload "Lets not forget that the HJ is also very close to the bus and railway station.'"
Exactly, and this is probably also one of the reasons for the HJ recently being granted glamour ties such as CC semi finals and internationals. The stadium itself might not be much to look at, but its location and proximity to mainline railway stations is what sets it apart.
Headingley is my other favourite ground, because although it's a couple of miles outside the city centre, it's in a built up area with numerous eateries and pubs full of student girls. Compare that to Elland Road, which apart from being a hole is in the middle of nowhere by the motorway.
Sometimes we take this for granted, and fans of other North West clubs must be envious of the Halliwell Jones, as they walk to their grounds past discount stores or sewage works, longing for a return to their old homes.
