Webzcas Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Heading up Saturday morning with two friends, I have got three tickets from 32Red as used to work with the guys that setup the company. Only problem is, not hospitality and in the home end. So sitting on my hands will be done on Sunday. Along with a crash course in all things Leeds on the drive up. Both my friends are Leeds fans so they are happy. Not been out in Leeds before or indeed gone to Elland Road. Should be a blast I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as brilliant around the ground, which is about 2 miles from the city centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just talk about: - being on a shit run since Xmas - how you miss Luke Ayling - how you’re not convinced by an ex-Barnsley boss being in charge and they won’t be able to tell if you’re City or Leeds.

SR1 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Welcome to Elland Road. The way things are going your money will be very welcome. Leeds is as good a drinking city as Bristol so if you're looking for some ale/craft beer etc. This is as good a start as any: https://leeds-list.com/food-and-drink/21-of-the-best-leeds-bars-for-beer-drinkers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's closed. For renovation. For a children's party. For an environmental health inspection. To wash their hair. Errr... It will look open, but rest assured that the people (including me) who look like they're drinking and having a good time aren't. It's a dump. Worst pub in the world. (According to my beer app - yup, there's a beer app - I've checked in there 445 times, just to check out how crap it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only five minutes walk from the bus to the ground, great beer and the staff are good. Perfect pre-match bar. Oh, and the pizza is wondrous. But please everyone remember it's crap really and closed.

I reckoned he would behave himself anyway. He was a parish priest. Many years ago , the brother of friend of mine was a priest and when he came to visit the family home my friend suggested that they should go out for a beer like in the past . On entering the pub my friend was aghast to notice topless barmaids serving behind the bar . He proposed that they go elsewhere but his brother said there was no problem. Clearly ill at ease to be serving a priest the barmaid presented her apologies for her nakedness but he was generous . " My dear , we are all God's creatures and being a man of God your nudity doesn't have any affect on me" Relieved by this the barmaid relaxed and asked him what he'd like to drink . " Oh , a pint of Titbread Wankard please my dear ." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed a decent bloke. Very keen on his real ale and his food. Just wanted somewhere he could enjoy both without any hassle! What with that and the result, I think he enjoyed himself a bit TOO much for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
