Football trips to Leeds - Search tickets and package trips!

On match days, the easiest way is to take the special match day shuttle buses that run from Leeds train station (near the Queens Hotel) directly to the stadium. These start running approximately 90 minutes before kick-off and cost around £3 return. Alternatively, you can take a regular taxi which takes about 10-15 minutes depending on match day traffic. Walking is possible (around 30-40 minutes) but not recommended for first-time visitors as the route isn't particularly scenic or straightforward.

The South Stand, often called the Kop, is indeed the heart of Elland Road's atmosphere and where the most vocal Leeds supporters gather. This is where you'll hear the loudest singing and experience the most passionate support. However, tickets in this area are primarily allocated to season ticket holders and members, making them difficult for visitors to obtain through regular channels. If experiencing the famous Leeds atmosphere is your priority, the lower tiers of the East Stand near the South Stand offer a good compromise, with excellent atmosphere but greater ticket availability through package providers.

Elland Road offers traditional English football fare inside the stadium, with the Yorkshire pudding wrap being a local specialty worth trying - it consists of a Yorkshire pudding filled with roast beef and gravy. For pre-match drinks, The Old Peacock pub directly opposite the stadium is the traditional meeting place for Leeds fans and serves a good selection of local ales. Another popular option is Howards Bar inside the East Stand, which opens to ticket holders several hours before kick-off. For something more substantial, Bremner Square outside the East Stand features several food vendors on match days, offering everything from burgers to local specialties.

The club shop at Elland Road gets extremely busy on match days, particularly in the two hours before kick-off and immediately after the final whistle. For a more relaxed shopping experience, visit the day before the match or on a non-match day morning. If you must shop on match day, try to arrive at least 3-4 hours before kick-off. There's also a Leeds United store in the Trinity Leeds shopping center in the city center, which often has shorter queues than the stadium store on match days. Both locations stock the full range of official merchandise, from replica shirts to souvenirs.

"Marching on Together" (officially titled "Leeds, Leeds, Leeds") is Leeds United's anthem that was recorded for the 1972 FA Cup Final. It's played before every home game and sung passionately by supporters throughout matches. Learning at least the chorus will enhance your experience and help you feel part of the Leeds United family. The key chorus lyrics are: "Marching on together, we're gonna see you win, we are so proud, we shout it out loud, we love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!" The song has become synonymous with the club and represents the strong bond between the team and its loyal supporters. You'll hear it multiple times during your visit to Elland Road.
