BUS
There are plenty of buses from Leeds City centre to either Headingley or the vicinity of the ground.
PRE/POST MATCH
There are no shortages of eating and drinking establishments, either in the city centre or in Headingley itself.
The most popular pubs around Headingley are the Original Oak and Skyrack, both these are at the end of St Michaels Lane/road/Otley Road going away from the ground in a North East direction.
At the other end of Otley Road/North Lane is Head of Steam and Headingley taps which are also very popular, carry on down the main street, past the skyrack towards the junction, turn left up North Lane for HoS/taps.
There’s also a Wetherspoons (The Golden Beam) but going away from Headingley/The ground back towards Leeds centre.
Headingley is a very popular and busy place with students and drinkers in general, the famous “Otley Run” is usually accompanied by revellers in fancy dress!
Although usually busy, there are generally no issues on match days with rugby colours but as with everywhere, exercise caution and respect for others.
There are bars and kiosks inside Headingley stadium but it’s generally expensive/not very nice and served un cardboard cups, great for the environment, not so much for enjoying a cold beer on a warm summers evening!
MATCHDAY
Away fans are allocated the Western terrace, which as most people know is the only undeveloped part of the stadium, it’s basic and uncovered terracing, quite shallow near the front, with no facilities on the terrace itself, you have to leave the terrace and traipse into the North stand concourse for any refreshments or even a toilet break!
This area is shared with Leeds fans who usually stand near to the South stand end or at the front.

There is a bar at the ground and bars and kiosks inside the ground which are the usual overpriced stuff you find at sports grounds, best bet is to head into town, there are 2 Wetherspoons, The Glass house, as you’d imagine is near to the Glass Museum and Chalon Way car park, but does get busy on matchdays, The Running Horses, is further down Chalon Way and near the big roundabout at the bottom.
Nearer the ground though is The George, on George Street, not far from Parr St/Central car parks, The Royal Alfred across from Central Station and The Swan, on the corner of Corporation St and Hall St, but there are plenty of other bars for different tastes around the town centre.
