Got the impression from this forum over the years that you like your beer and both Dewsbury and Huddersfield have popular station bars. Add Stalybridge in as well and I guess you'd be looking at a 3 day trip!!

It's a possibility, TM, but I doubt that the stewards would let me in with it! ;)

I would've thought there'd be a bus to the ground as leeds is very easy to get to on the train for the majority of football fans. Or if there's not will there not be a coach going from Accy?

Would've thought there'd be a number of coaches going from Accy, once they've got it organised. No good for us exiles though! :)

They run buses from the city centre to the ground and back after games - not sure how much fun that would be especially compared to a walk through Holbeck from the centre. Only ever used that bus for a RL international 20 odd years ago.

Service bus is a 51 or 51A but I don't think they stop near the ground when there's a match on.

Who would have thought a few years ago that Stanley would be playing Leeds in any competition.

They had 10,430 for the QF at home V Grimsby so there should be another five figure gate and I bet its not just £13 and £15 to get in so should be excellent shared receipts.

David v Goliath from the tv companies point of view one would hope

A great incentive for the Club to cash in commercially with merchandise and really help promote the Club, if it had been at home the cost of stewarding & policing for such a high profile game may have outweighed the home advantage.

It is a one off game nothing to lose let's go there with our heads held high and give um a good game!

One final note what about the Club offering subsidised coach pricing for the game:
As an incentive for a big away following
A Thank You to everyone who rallied round in their darkest hours
It would maybe help boost the gate so would perhaps offset it against better joint gate receipts?
