This is the JPT so finances will not be great. There is more likely to be more money for Accrington if it is not on TV.

I am not sure of the split but other cup competitions split receipts 3 ways each club and the governing body. For the last 2 JPT games Leeds have charged £5 for concessions and £10 for adults. Leeds were on TV last time in the JPT and the TV money paid to both clubs was a paltry £10,000. The Leeds first round FA Cup game played 3 days earlier which was on the internet only both clubs received £67,500. If the game is not on TV the increase in the gate will be more than the 1000 fans needed to cover the £10,000. If not on TV it could be a 15,000 gate dependant on how many Accrington bring.

If you are travelling to Leeds by train the options to get to the ground are Taxi. Plenty at the station and there is also a queue of taxis just up past McDonalds after the game.

You can catch the bus. If you come out of the main entrance to the station, cross over the road where all the taxis are and go down the steps you come out facing a pub called the Scarborough Taps. Turn right and walk under the tunnel then the first road left is where Special buses will take you to the ground. For a 7.45 kick off they may start at about 6-6.30. It will cost you £2.50 return.

The third option is to walk. Again come out of the station’s front entrance down the steps and turn right under the tunnel but this time keep on walking following the road until you come to the Bewerley Hotel. Walk round the hotel and you will see a Halfords on the corner you need to keep going straight on passing Halfords on your right. Keep going crossing over several roads and eventually the path will end and there will be a pathed slope down to your right go down there and walk straight on. Eventually you will come to a tunnel on your left and a path through a park. Do not go through the tunnel but walk straight on through the park. There is a little tunnel at the end of the path which you go through. There will be a fish and chip shop in front of you. Turn left go up the slop and as you are crossing over a bridge you will see Elland Road. Take the next right and you will be there.
