To find out if the stereotype of Leeds fans was true and because the 2 teams are favorites to win the Championship this year.
By car. Once you get off the M602, it is at a standstill for most of the remainder of the drive to Elland Road.
We had found parking on the route my sat nav was taking me. On the same road as the away entrance so decent.
Good variety.
Electric!
5/10, good banter between both sets of fans but ruined the score a bit when my wife was having abuse heckled at her.
Okay. Just the same as on the way in.
£80. We beat Leeds so happy days.
Yes, but don’t bring the kids because we had an incident with a few Leeds fans after the game on the way back to the car.
Not far away just down the M62 and hadn’t been to Elland Road before.
Drove which was easy enough down the M61-M6.
Car parks where all full when we arrived and it was absolute chaos on the roads due to road works and fans walking over the roads everywhere. Directions were shocking from stewards to where we could park and ended up with a parking ticket.
Expensive for what you got. Pints where nearly 6 quid and there wasn’t really many options.
Absolutely terrible. Crammed on the concourse with barely any staff on. Stewards all thinking they were bouncers. The view was shocking, we were not even in line with the pitch! My view was of Leeds fans half way up their own stand. The stewards seemed to cause more trouble than any fans too!
North end fans where exceptional as always but the supposed famous Leeds atmosphere appeared nothing more than a myth. They were quiet most the game.
5/10
Quite easy as we left before the end as I had a small child with me and didn’t want to get stuck in the post match chaos and traffic.
Ticket £30 Parking fine £35 – thanks stewards! Fuel £15 roughly Drinks £10 Roughly £90 overall Due to the view absolutely not worth it!
Not at all, save your money, plenty of better grounds to visit.
Easy to get to away fixture for me and had not been to Elland Road for a while.
Very easy to get to Leeds by train. I travelled from Edinburgh, which takes three hours.
There is a dedicated away fans bar (Howard’s Bar) at the ground. Great atmosphere as it was exclusively for the Bees fans.
Had a meal in a city centre restaurant after the game as I had a couple of hours before my train left. Was under £20 for a main and a drink, which is my general budget for a meal after the game.
Had a cheeseburger and a pint at the ground which were perfectly fine.
Away fans are in one end of the John Charles stand. I was in the Upper Tier and for most of the time had a great view. I did see some stanchions in other parts of the stand that may affect the view slightly.
The Brentford support was amazing all game. The away section is adjacent to the loudest home fans in the Norman Hunter / South stand so there was plenty of banter between the two sets.
8/10 – Most of the Leeds fans I met were fine, though I heard accounts of some Bees fans getting hassle before the game.
You are let out onto Elland Road which was closed off from traffic, so very easy to get out. Police were very visible, so no trouble.
Including ticket, train fare, food and drink around £80. Good value for a full day out.
Yes!
