You should be fine Rover49!!

this is a great source for visiting fans. one thing i wonder about though is when there is rugby league on that clashes with other sports (fat man rugby, etc) where are the pubs that will stick to rugby league? headingley being full of students willalways switch to the code when it suits. in town there is shooters which has several screens, but anywhere else? would like to watch salford vs castleford later (in the snow

)

If yer in headingley mate go to the 3 horseshoes or Woodies mate they normally show the RL.

where is the best area of the ground to watch the game

Depends, everyone's personal view is different. I didn't mind (sneaking into) the paddock. But find myself in the southstand at most games.

Which is the best/closest boozer to Headingley with Sky sports? so I can keep an eye on our future opponents into play offs once we've dispatched you lot!!

The Headingley Taps on north lane, bout 100 yards from the away end tops

You didn't really think that you was gonna........Oh you did didn't you?
I hope that you found a boozer closer to home to see what you could have won

It's more than 100 yards from the north lane turnstiles.

Less than 10 minute walk would be more like it

Sonny Bill Williams has been named to play at Headingley.

He should post ' how big are your in goals ? '

Caught his nightmare live at wire in the way home from Cardiff. Nevertheless both had great atmospheres and really looking forward to tomorrows match. Any idea of the best RL pub pre match? Getting there earlier than usual to avoid M62 hassles and will have a rare opportunity to drink outside the ground which I have not been able to do for years.

I have just moved to the harrogate area, I would like to come to watch the rhinos but don't fancy nearly an hour wait for a train after the match, is it easy to get a cab from near the ground after the match? Or do the buses run past headingley stadium straight after the match? I have a disability so find it difficult to walk to far. Thanks in advance

Pre-book a taxi and it'll be outside waiting for you.

Buses run from Cardigan Road (19/19A/56) & Otley Road straight after the game, although queues can be a pain.

Best bet would be a taxi IMO, give you a chance of getting the 22.15 36 back to Harrogate.

Alternative:
Catch the bus opposite the ground for Moortown Corner.
Then pick up the 36 to harrogate from there.
It goes from the same stop so not too much walking.

The bus that ran from outside the stadium to Moortown (the 3icon_cool.gif doesn't run in the evening any more.

Thanks for all your help haven't been to a game yet, but enjoyed tonight's match on tv so will hopefully get down soon

When you cme out of the ginnel watch out for thugs who attack 50 year old blokes and run off leaving them hospitised !

what is hospitised and why does running off leave thugs so?

Sound Advice. For most of the UK.

Arcadia is a pretentious dump, expensive and dull with heavely beardy skinny jean types behind the bar. No sky sports.

I'd go to woodies on Otley road, a bit further walk from stadium but can get a decent pint and cheap decent food. Also has sky sports

Weird as I've rare,y see those types of people in Arcadia. Most of the time it's full of people past the age of 40 and they certainly don't wear skinny jeans

Hi Guys Im coming over in the Car for the Wire game .
Can you please give an update on where is safe to park.
Thanks

I love my walk towards the Southstand on game day when I am working for Sky
The Boo's,Hisses and expletives that I receive each time simply make me smile as I just imagine that I am walking onto the Jeremy Kyle show and that all of the Chav' s in that stand simply revert to type as they don't know any better due to their close knit community upbringing


This guy is the drummer in the SS band

Wow that really is Phil Clarke photographic evidence as well.
