Can anyone tell me the best way to get from Leeds Station to the ground tomorrow night and the best way back please? A serious answer would be appreciated, of course

I am travelling from Hellaby so if anyone else is travelling that way I'd willingly pay towards a lift?

Come out of the main doors of the train station, cross the taxi rank and go down the stairs and under the arches are return buses to the ground, about £3.

Catch the special busses form under the Arches near the Station to and from the ground - easiest and quickest way

The football special buses from under the bridge. They are a little further down on a side street on the left hand side

There is a bus service by the dark arches (under train station) which is £2.50 return. Gets in and out very quickly

Come out of the station, down the steps and turn right at the main road going under the tunnel to the bus stops at the other side. Catch the number 1 bus to Beeston and get off at the co-op near the white hart and walk down the hill to Elland road.

Good look, MOT

Hi come out of the station so you are stood outside wetherspoons...

look towards the mini roundabout and follow that road over the canal and to a main roundabout over to next roundabout
turn left to next roundabout

turn left if you keep going up that road you will see burger vans and everyone else you are just about there M.O.t

Don't worry mate once you come down the stairs loiter about and within a couple of mins you're bound to see someone in a Whites shirt or scarf. They'll be happy to sort you out.
Enjoy the game - hopefully it'll be the right result.

Get the leeds special bus £ 2.,50 there and back - y cant beat it

Save your money - and go watch a decent team for a change

Thanks to everyone, looks like the bus will be the choice then.

To the clown that wrote the last comment, your team is obviously so 'decent' you have to come on here for company......

...is the local infants school still shut for the summer? {Ed007's Note - That shouldn't even have been posted, sorry mate. Thanks to everyone who helped out, hope you have a great day and get a win mate. I have an ST for Celtic Park which is quite local to me, but I go down to OT when I can (no abuse needed lads), the travelling down to Manchester etc makes it an even better day out.}

Found the bus, got to the ground and watched a superb game, many thanks to all of you for your help, and for the 'real' people en route who made the night special....

For ED - Tonight has been a special night. Last time I watched Leeds play Hull Vinny Jones scored a blinder from 30 yards out, and we went on to win 4-3 with Strachan scoring a great goal, that was one of my best memories of Elland Road, tonight will live on too.

Highlight was the Kop singing 'We scored your goal for you" just classic.

Leeds4alongtime {Ed025's Note - i just hope that now...you cut larry some slack!

seyi olofinjana loan from Hull city :)

I have clicked unbelievable but I wish it was true.. He is the kind of player we need

He hasnt been in the hull sqaud so.. . . ? only hope MOT

U little mixer, just before the Tigers game. Good player though, probably too good considering what we're getting in at the mo.

Was linked earlier this summer but i'm sure Hull hoped to sell him. Could see this happening.

German striker having medical at Thorpe arch in morning 2year deal free transfer

You mean the trialist LUZ ? good player if fit

Lets hope it's the guy who's been score for fun in the reserves...

You're obviously implying that it's Felix Luz although I doubt there's any credence to the story.
What's the source or have you had too much sauce.
He would probably be a good signing (especially on a free) the only down side is, he complains more than Wenger,a teenager & Joey Barton on Twitter all into one.

I hope it is Luz. He can hold the ball up and he has good movement and scores goals.. I went to Farsley game and I thought he was very good.
Can he do it in championship though ?

Well i see we all thinking the same way LUZ, Well why not we av missed out on every one else n he got a half descent track record plus we get shut of Billy no goals then....M.O.T

Sounds a decent player but has been dogged by injury his entire career, is he a target man?

Forssell and Keogh upfront for Ipswich game

No chance
It'll be weeks before Leeds commit. They'll want a proper look at his fitness first. Why else would you wait & trial a good international player & rightly so.
If he's still got the fitness mind you he'd be a great signing, might not be top scorer in the League but he'll give you everything & not particularly money motivated either.

You turkey

Forssell on trial, cant sign him that quick as he would still need international clearence would take at least 24 hrs to complete any deal.

mikael forsell on trial to sure about him myself might be a good sub.keogh wil b gd for the likes of nunez and mccormack on tuesday

Finnish internation Mikael Forssell is training with Leeds United.

The United boss comfirmed, "Mikael is training with us and we'll see how things go."

Source: www.leedsunited.com

He should be a brillaint signing tbh i was shocked when i saw this on website. maybe bate listen to protests and chant at elland road on saturday?

I don't reckon because he's still here ha
Need a centre back now batesy And a centre mid Then you'l miss out on a stoning Just get a few slaps and some abuse instead

In Simon we trust
Mot

To the person above... he is available on a free and has had injury problems. TYPICAL bates move.... mot

Excellent that he is training and on trial...here's hoping he will get snapped up and we sell barn door

If he could stay fit he would be a good signing adding pace up front , lets hope he is over the injuries

Very good lets hope he's fit and in form.. sy

Andy keogh was not good enough 6 years ago so what as changed and michael forrsell injury prone what a waste of time and money get rid of simon grayson now before he get,s us relegated

Would have preferred a punt on Le Fondre any day of the week than Keogh on a free (no offence Andy but you're hardly prolific).
Forrsel would be a great signing even if we only get half a season out of him but we haven't signed him yet & I won't be doing cartwheels until we do.
Oh and I'm not been pessimistic just realistic.
It's a step in the right direction & today have definitely lifted some of the doom & gloom we've had to encounter for a while.

I would have taken a punt on Le Fondre. Still we need four new defenders now and a quality midfield player. Splash the cash on Bullard should do the trick i we can keep him fit. Come on Leeds

Thanks for the copy & paste of the website Much appreciated

4 defenders? What planet are you on? Lees & Kisnorbo are good enough, O'Dea if played at centre back may also be good enough, and Bromby is acceptable.

Onuoha to sign on season long loan.

Maybe, just maybe, Onuoha might be able to get a season long loan to a prem club, LOL, I suppose we are also luring Zinadine Zidane out of retirement
