A Day in Leeds
Yesterday, I went to Leeds to see Ipswich play at Elland Road. I took the train from King’s Cross at 8:10 and arrived in the city on time just after 10:30, three cups of free coffee later.
In my view Leeds is a much superior city to Manchester, as like Liverpool, it is fairly compact and you can get most places on foot from the train station.
The station now has improved and is now near to what I would call a destination station.
The last time I came, the roof was going up and now it is complete.

Is this roof the only complete modern station covering to match the great Victorian structures at St. Pancras, King’s Cross, Raddington and Lime Street in Liverpool?
I met an old Metier colleague and her daughter in the city and after lunch, we went to the ground to see the match.
Leeds United have a reputaion for being unwelcoming, but this was the firast away seating that had a proper Welcome Sign.

It should also be said that they were very accommodating in adjusting the tickets, so that I could sit with my friends.
The match wasn’t the most exciting but Town deserved their point and it was good to see Kieron Dyer in an Ipswich shirt again.
