92 Clubs – Day 19 – Leeds, Leicester, Leyton Orient

I took the early 5:50 train out of Kings Cross an got to Leeds on time. But that was the start of my problems, as i couldn’t find anybody to ask about a buss to the Leeds ground at Elland Road and then when I found out how, I couldn’t use my free bus pass until 9:30.  So that is what Welcome to Yorkshire means.

So I had breakfast in Carluccio’s and finally got to the stadium at Leeds about eleven.

It was another bus back to the centre and then on my way to Leicester.

Leicester had little information at the station, but I as it was a nice afternoon, I was able to walk to the ground on a signposted route, that seemed to rather go missing after the Rugby stadium. But I did find it.

Despite there being a match later, it was all surprisingly deserted, as the picture shows. I had hoped to get a bus back to the station, but the stop I found had virtually no route information, so I used the most reliable transport I had to hand; my legs.

I arrived at St. Pancras and after coming home it was on to Leyton Orient.

Leyton Orient must be one of the more unusual grounds, in that it has blocks of flats at the four corners of the ground.

It is not a bad place to watch football either. Friendly too!
