Why?

Cheers for the info. Good job I asked else we would of got the train to Headingley. Really cannot wait for the game on Saturday now

we are going to get in City Centre around 1.30ish. perfect organisation by one of my mates, just in time for the football lot, we just gonna do a bit of a pub crawl to headingly, think its only a couple of miles away. plenty of beers, hope their is a few bars on the way

Just do the rlOtley Runrl just in reverse missing out:

Woodies Ale House, Far Headingley
The Three Horseshoes, Far Headingley
The New Inn, Far Headingley
The Old Bar Leeds University Union
The Terrace Leeds University Union

12 bars/pubs in 5 hours

Cheers for the Info Sam Buca.

Sounds really good, will put if forward to my mates. could be deadly at least 12 pints and 8 cans before the match as started. may get a bit tipsy

I don't think you will be able to drink in any of the pubs/bars in the city centre with any colours on.

I'll wear a jacket then!

Why not? They're normally fine.

Just going off past experiences in City Centres when theres a football match.

Leeds isn't that bad tbh.

its not a problem. most bars can distinguish between football and rugby. you will notice tho most bars will have door staff so anyone looking youngish will get ID'd.

Best bet though if anything is if you want to sup in town go upto the top end of town well away from the station then you'll have no football related issues. Steer clear of the Scarborough Taps as it'll be rammed full of leeds united fans

There is no difference in walking time from Burley Park and Headingley stations. If you nip up the alleyway and walk along Queenswood Drive, you can be at the ground in 10 minutes. I once fell for someone telling me Burley Park was far closer and I nearly missed my train. Obviously if coming from the city centre it makes sense to get off at Burley Park, but it doesn't really matter.

And to be honest if there is more than one of you, getting a train is a waste of time, just take a taxi.

I was thinking of this. Train to Leeds and then a Taxi to the ground. Sounds good to me

Taxi to ground should be what £4 from the station?

Best bet is to drink in town, then get the train to Burley Park & walk to the ground. Good places in town are They're both about the same distance from the ground to be honest maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=&q=hea ... CBkQ8gEwAA Always thought this was rubbish when people have said it before because been sure the 2 or 3 times ive been to headingley on the train ive gone to headingley station. If your going to the away end of the ground via the taps headingley is far better IMO
