I use to walk on every home games from station to our mighty church in the 70s n 80s plus I walked from York to leeds n back to get the 1st play off ticket v Oldham athletic
You walked from York to Leeds and back in 87? Trains on strike then too yeah?
The last time I walked to Elland Road must have been late 70s/early 80s. Got a bus to the Evening Post building, then walked up over all the roadworks for the new flyover. I moved away and came back in 2000 and found Leeds had changed so much. And now I'm old and knackered I drive to ER on matchday!
Ha ha it is amazing how much Leeds has changed in recent years - particularly with the developments just south of the Aire - I'm glad you've still managed to keep visiting Elland Road though :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
My first Leeds game at Elland Rd was in 1971 , caught the train alot from Hull and walked from the station many a time. Back then loads and loads of houses were been demolished so I walked on wasteland , rubble and hills,not to many roads to cross either.. 😉
Wonderful to hear! I suppose the walk to the stadium has been cleaned up a little then in the last 50 years, glad this video brought back some good memories :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Done this hundreds of times, thanks for reminding me how much I've missed it, thanks for sharing..
You're welcome! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video - and I really hope that you get the chance to do a good old matchday walk down to Elland Road soon :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Out of the station, straight over the road to some steps, go down and you come out opposite the scabby arms.
Good tip! Thanks for sharing - and thank you very much for watching :)
Yeah just behind the taxi rank
Thank for the video. As a Leeds United supporter I have walk that way many time
You're welcome! Thank you for watching the video - hopefully this brings back some nice matchday memories down at Elland Road :)
I walked back to the station from Elland Road after a December 3-0 win over Brighton Hove Albion in our promo year 89/90 ( Strachan , Jones, Batty ETC ) .... pitch black , no idea where I was going .... DIFFERENT TIMES !!
Ha ha I'm glad you made it back in the pitch black - hopefully the street lights stay on a little longer next time you're at Elland Road :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Great video,changed so much since I was there back in the 50s
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video - always interesting to see how these places change over time, but I hope the walk brought back a few matchday memories :)
Watching you walk through Holbeck Moor park brings back memories, just before you get to the underpass is where away fans would jumped or hooligans would clash (if you follow that route it takes you to the estate). Even today that estate is still not very nice but I'm very happy to see the city of Leeds developing and hopefully these areas can improve. Great video mate.
Fantastic, really enjoyed this, I miss this walk so much. Roll on when we can get back inside MOT
Thank you so much! It's a great walk and it feels all the better with thousands of fans marching together on matchday! Can't wait for everyone to be back :)
Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I remember that bus stop right at the beginning of the walk. Left my cap in the bus, and had to run back to get it. I was changing buses to get from originally Manchester, to York. I wanted to take the train, but it was Sunday, and limited service. Thanks for stirring memories.
Wonderful memories! I hope you enjoyed the video - and I'm glad that it brought back some memories of that flying visit to Leeds :)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Great job. Thanks
I hope we can do this walk soon to watch leeds in the Premier league MOT
I hope so too! It's great that Leeds have had such a strong season - hopefully they'll be in the Prem for many years to come :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
brings back fantastic memories
I'm so glad to hear it! Elland Road is a spectacular stadium and so is Leeds as a whole - hopefully you get back into the stands sooner rather than later :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Sitting in my apartment in scorching hot season in northern Thailand, this brings back many memories
Ha ha I hope you're enjoying the sunshine over there and drinking in some good matchday memories of Elland Road - one of England's very best stadiums :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
A friendly walk for any away fan. Always guaranteed to bump into groups of Leeds fans that will always oblige when it comes to playful banter.
Been doing that walk since the 1974/5 season and still doing it when we finally get back.
Can't wait for that day to come! I'm sure you have many great matchday memories and more to make in the future :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK Was that ken bates with a briefcase full of money i just saw?
I normally go a left out the station down Whitehall road then take the footpath that roughly follows the a643, takes you out at the lowfields road tunnel
Bel video... molto utile grazie
Prego! Sono felice che ti è piaciuto il video!
Done this so many times, now there doing well,I’m to knackard to do this treck anymore, thanks MS. , MOT, or in my case , Motoring On Together
Great to hear! I love a long matchday walk like this, it always throws up a great atmosphere :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
thanks for the vid;) MOT
You're welcome! Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the walk!
exactly the same walk as i do except i stop off at the Clayton for a few pints on the way lol
A wonderful way to do it! Perhaps more of my matchday tours should include a stop-off in the pubs too :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
It’s quicker if you walk past temple mills then through Holbeck and through south bank then turn right at Beeston down Elland road
Great tip! And there are less crowds that way normally as far as I'm aware - thank you very much for sharing with us :)
And thank you very much for watching the video - I hope you enjoyed the walk!
Thought you might have stopped for a pint in The Grove. Schoolboy error.
Id use the south exit/entrance, saves walking round
A very good idea! Thanks for pointing it out :)
Turn left out of Station......Aire st.......Holbeck.......less traffic, less crowds......
Great tip! This is the better-signposted route but Holbeck is a more peaceful way to go without a doubt - I'll have a video from Holbeck coming in the future so watch this space :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
14:56 👍😀
COYS
Why didn’t you use the spiral stairs opposite the station and save yourself the walk ??🤣🤣
I noticed that but as he got round, it was closed off, can see the roller shutters down
Thank you very much for the tip! When I filmed this walk many of the station repairs were still going on - but I don't mind walking a few more yards :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
"You'll never make the station"
IF YOUR A MANU FAN WATCH YOU DONT RUN IN TO THE SERVICE CREW
So u need a video for this why not just use your phone nav?
Or better still use a good old fashioned map!lol
Not dealing with the smartest lot here...
thanks. a fair herd for the police
Not the safest thing to do for away fans lol .
Do anything you want now, Football violence is gone, just a few whoppers prancing around in Stone Island jackets thinking thats all it took!!! In the 80s its was slightly different believe me!! Had a massive escort back then, horses, vans, dogs the lot!! Youd have all the Saturday shoppers gorping at you!! You still had to have your wits about you in the escort especially in Liverpool and that walk down Scotland Rd!!
Only leeds supporters would need a video on how to walk...
