Hi,

Myself and a few mates are considering the trip down from Glasgow to Leeds for this years festival as the line-up looks pretty sweet (DFA1979, Muse origin of symmetry, Interpol, The Strokes, Deftones, Pulp, Odd Future, Best Coast, Yuck, The Bronx, Tom Vek.. so much good stuff!!)

So we were going to head down on the Thursday, but have just realised that the team we support will have a european qualifier that night! so i have a couple of questions....

If we come down early doors on the Thursday (if the match is away) how far away is Leeds city centre so we could catch the game? (probably driving)

Or if we get down first thing on Friday would we still be able to find a decent camping spot? or would we have missed out on a lot of the fun by then?

Also up here Leeds seems to have the reputation of being a bit of a rough festival whitch attracts trouble... is this true in your view? or is the atmosphere good on the whole?

Would be good to hear some peoples opinions.

Cheers.

Why not head down on the Wednesday (you'll need an early entry) but if youcan't do Wednesday i'd say head down early Thursday and then get a shuttle bus back into Leeds for the game.

Nice one, thanks for the info folks, much appreciated.

I guess the best bet would to be to head down on the Thursday then.
