| Bizarrely, I find that Headingley is one of the best grounds to get away from.
We park in the carpark in the South West corner of the ground. As you come out of the carpark, turn right over a tiny bridge and this brings you straight down to Kirkstall Rd.

| We parked in a pay and display car park in Prescott St ,just up from the "Pump Room" pub. Free after 6 on Saturdays and all day Sunday. 5 mins level walk to ground. Headed towards Halifax and then out via Hipperhome.after match. No delays at all.
Thought the view and leg room were pretty good,though we were sat in front of the press who insisted on talking all through the match! Got burger and pies and beer ok as well. All in all a good afternoon out.

Mind you, it took us even longer to get there. We set off at 1 o'clock and didn't arrive at the ground until 3:30. Mind you, that was early enough for a bevvy or three!
Still open for late sponsors!

| Quote yully="yully"No thats not all it takes to spit out me dummy, i got to the ground nice and early and got settled down in my seat in the New all singing all dancing west stand, next to the cas dugout area, not able to go any higher in the stand as me and the wife are both disabled, i watched everything that happend on the left hand side of the pitch during the game as my view was blocked by the Cas doctor if anything happend on the right hand side. i bore witness to 2 rather big gentlemen all dressed in black enter the seats next to me to evict a 80 year old man who had sat comfy for over 30 minutes in a seat.
My son and his mate were both thretened by stadium staff with expulsion when they said helo to eddy & stevo as the presenters went to their seats, as the game got underway a young lady (about 7/8ish) found herself at the opposite side of the stand to her parents (due to getting a autograth from Big G) upset she asked a steward if she could go back to her parents just to be told NO! she would have to go out and around, not what any parent wants to hear.
ive no issues with the stadium but the organisation and the heavy handed tactics of the Shay staff is poor & OTT'"
Valid points you have raised there. They ought now to be put in writing and sent to the Shay.

| Quite looking forward to our visit in a few weeks time  Although I'd prefer to be going to the Galpharm, never been to the Shay before. Just hope there's no shirt mix-up again! LOL. Saw the attendance. Not too bad, when you think about it. By the sounds of it people enjoyed it and will go back. You shouldn't expect us to bring many, but hopefully it won't be too bad for you moving away from the Galpharm for a few games.

| it's nice little ground is the shay,i've always enjoyed my visits there and the ( finally) east stand is pretty good, i remember for years just staring at bits of concrete and girders.
surprised by how many giants fans who had never been before,didn't know the way around.i was asked a few times where the ground was at that was at top of hunger hill!
unfortunately i dont think i'll be attending the other 2 games but it was a nice change from the galpharm.

| Pitch looked good - though shortened in goal at north end seemed odd line markings.
East stand good view - bit tight on leg room for us + 6 ft.
Pasties, hot dogs standard warm expensive crap but same as galpharm. Not sure why no plastic beer bottles allowed - would have been served quicker. Gates need to be opened sooner and more staff on food needed, but guess that will sorted for next time.
Overall a pleasant change, and would like to visiting there officially next year too !

Clearly you've had a very poor experience and given that as the context to you're complaint, then it's understandable you feel this way, however non of this was explained in your opening post on this thread, so to get the comments you've had from a few posters on here is understandable too.
I hope you put this complaint to the officials and see if something can be done about the standard of stewarding in your section of the stand.

Don't joke about it, the time it's taking for our new kit to arrive we could be borrowing the above for the rest of the season

| Can the singers work out a place to go for the next game - I would suggest in the corner near the away fans, but we seemed muted yesterday!
I'm in the away stand + 5
