If you want a less congested approach and escape from Headingley, and can manage a 15 minute walk, try this:
>Leave M621 near Leeds United's ground (junction 2)
>Left at roundabout, on dual carriageway through tunnel to Armley Gyratory (large roundabout)
>Take 3rd exit towards City Centre
>Keep in left-hand lane and drop to left to traffic lights
>Turn left at lights and follow road to left onto Kirkstall Road
>After main traffic lights and railway viaduct, turn right near Cardigan Arms
>Park towards the top of this road, then walk up to top
>Follow crowds via narrow railway bridge to south of ground
You can leave the away fans end via the back of the South Stand which leads back to narrow bridge.

Not if you are a Wigan fan who lives 4 miles away in Horsforth. ????????God wrote:You will need to as its by far the worst ground in the league to get too, get somewhere to park and get out of.
Regarder une fille en bikini, c'est comme avoir un revolver chargé sur sa table:
Il n'y a rien de mal a ça mais il est difficile de penser à autre chose.

Seriously? Pass IKEA, get on M621 (2nd roundabout, 4th exit) then follow my directions above.medlocke wrote:What about if your coming from Birstall
If you call in Cardigan Arms about 645pm, I'll buy you a pint of Tetleys. Hope Gpartin will be with us too.

If you go via Skipton and avoid all motorways you drop straight into Headingley. Mind you,I live in Heysham.

I think FPN will either start on the bench or start and be spelled very quickly. He will be well short of match fitness.

Nuuausala ignored best friend to sign for Wigan!
Frank Paul Nuuausala ignored the advice of his best friend Saints legend Sia Soliola in opting to sign for Wigan.
The New Zealand international forward has joined the Warriors on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Canberra Raiders and could make his debut in Friday’s Super League Grand Final re-match with Leeds at Headingley.
Wigan faced competition for the man dubbed the “wrecking ball” from arch rivals St Helens, who had past and present players Sia Soliola and Lama Tasi pushing their case.
In the end, Nuuausala was swayed by two former Wigan players and Kiwi international team-mates Jeff Lima and Thomas Leuluai and by the the club’s famous name.
“There was a bit of interest there (St Helens) but they just didn’t pull through really,” Nu’uausala told his first press conference at Wigan’s training centre. “It was just all talk.
“With Wigan it was all action. I just had to weigh up my options and decide what’s best for me and my family.
Sia wanted me to play for Saints and when he found out I was going to sign for Wigan he was giving me some stick but I also got advice from Jeff Lima and Thomas Leuluai about Wigan and I’m hundred per cent happy I chose Wigan.
“They told me about the winning culture and the proud fans. When I was a kid I remember seeing Dean Bell and Frano Botica and Wigan were always on the telly because they were winning trophies.”
The 29-year-old prop, an NRL Grand Final winner who was in the Sydney Roosters team that beat Wigan in the 2014 World Club Challenge, only arrived in England on Monday and has not played a match for three months after being dropped by Canberra coach Ricky Stuart but he could be pressed into early action by coach Shaun Wane.
“He’s a chance,” Wane said. “He didn’t sleep much last night . We’ll see how he is on team run on Thursday and I’ll make a decision on how long I’m going to play him, if at all.”
Already without forwards Micky McIlorum, Tony Clubb, Dom Crosby, Joel Tomkins and Liam Farrell through injury and with John Bateman still a week away from completing an internal ban and skipper Sean O’Loughlin facing a disciplinary hearing following his dismissal for a high tackle in last Friday’s 22-18 win over Wakefield, Wane will be without an entire pack against the Rhinos.kkkk
“We’ve nobody else, we’re really struggling,” Wane said. “But, if there’s any risk, I won’t pick him.”
The Warriors have prop Lee Mossop back from suspension but centre Anthony Gelling is on the injury list and there are doubts over Dan Sarginson as well as Josh Charnley and Sam Tomkins, who have not been able to train so far after picking up knee and shoulder injuries against Wakefield.
Nuuausala, who won the last of his 15 caps in the 2013 World Cup final at Old Trafford, says he is preparing to make his debut on Friday but suggests it could come a week later against St Helens.
“I had my first session today,” he said. “I’m feeling a bit tired. I’ll take it day by day.
“I really do want to play but I know, if I’m not right, I’m not going to put my hand up and disrespect that jersey. I don’t want to let anyone down in my first game.
“If I’m ready to play this week, I will but if not I’ll definitely be ready to play next week.”
Meanwhile, Nuuausala, who is eligible for Wigan’s Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull at Doncaster on July 29, is currently staying in a hotel until the arrival of his wife and child at the end of the month and trying to settle into a new country.
“It reminds me of Coronation Street, everything looks the same but hopefully I’ll get used to it,” he said

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
