Have you not got a skateboard you could use from the station?

Got the impression from this forum over the years that you like your beer and both Dewsbury and Huddersfield have popular station bars. Add Stalybridge in as well and I guess you'd be looking at a 3 day trip!!

It's a possibility, TM, but I doubt that the stewards would let me in with it!

I would've thought there'd be a bus to the ground as leeds is very easy to get to on the train for the majority of football fans. Or if there's not will there not be a coach going from Accy?

Would've thought there'd be a number of coaches going from Accy, once they've got it organised. No good for us exiles though!

They run buses from the city centre to the ground and back after games - not sure how much fun that would be especially compared to a walk through Holbeck from the centre. Only ever used that bus for a RL international 20 odd years ago.

Service bus is a 51 or 51A but I don't think they stop near the ground when there's a match on.

Who would have thought a few years ago that Stanley would be playing Leeds in any competition.

MCR ADIM · 14-11-2009, 11:15

Hope its on a week, Sunday? if not be a long drive there and back in one night.

They had 10,430 for the QF at home V Grimsby so there should be another five figure gate and I bet its not just £13 and £15 to get in so should be excellent shared receipts.

David v Goliath from the tv companies point of view one would hope

A great incentive for the Club to cash in commercially with merchandise and really help promote the Club, if it had been at home the cost of stewarding & policing for such a high profile game may have outweighed the home advantage.

It is a one off game nothing to lose let's go there with our heads held high and give um a good game!

One final note what about the Club offering subsidised coach pricing for the game:
As an incentive for a big away following
A Thank You to everyone who rallied round in their darkest hours
It would maybe help boost the gate so would perhaps offset it against better joint gate receipts?
