Leeds United travel to St Andrew's Stadium to face Birmingham City in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon and we would like to thank every fan that will be making the journey to support the team.
During your trip, please remember that we are all representing not only Leeds United Football Club, but also the city of Leeds, and we ask that you always show respect to other fans, staff and players.
Dangerous behaviours, discriminatory language, tragedy chanting, and inappropriate gestures are not acceptable. You could be breaking the law and face a football ban. The club condemns these kinds of behaviours and has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of hate.
Due to a large number of supporters travelling to Birmingham, for the safety and security of vehicles and ease of spectators, fans are encouraged to park in designated car parks, which can be purchased in advance. More information, including how to book, can be found below.

Entry to the stadium is via the Away Car Park on Coventry Road only. At the end of the game however the exit will be via an alternate gate at the rear of the stadium and this is where all coaches will be parked. This also provides an alternative walking route back to the city centre.
Please note, road closures outside the venue will be enforced 90 minutes before kick-off. Please follow the stewarding and police directions and we thank you for your cooperation.
Please see below some other pieces of information to take into consideration ahead of travelling.
Plan your journey early:
Whether you’re travelling by train/car/bus make sure you leave with plenty of time to spare before the game. Supporters are advised to arrive no later than 60 minutes before kick-off (11am), however if you are able to arrive even earlier please do so, as there will be over 5,000 away fans attending.
Please note, a road closure beginning at the bottom of Coventry Road that continues all the way to the Garrison Lane junction on Cattell Road is in force for the 2025/26 season. The closure will come into effect one hour before kick-off. It will be in force again 15 minutes before the final whistle and will last roughly 45 minutes.
The club have been informed by Cross County Trains that a large number of supporters are expected to travel on the 8.05am service out of Leeds Station, towards Birmingham. Cross County Trains have been unable to add any further capacity to this service meaning it will be extremely busy, so fans who are able to make alternative arrangements may want to consider doing so.
Opening times:
Car Parks - 9am
Away Ticket Office - 9am
Turnstiles - 10.30am

Away supporters are housed in the lower tier of the Gil Merrick Stand. The Gil Merrick Stand is behind the goal, and away fans are positioned at one end of the stand.
A full range of refreshments, including alcohol, will be available for purchase at the kiosks on the concourse. St. Andrew's is a cashless stadium and only card payments will be accepted.
Stay safe:
Keep yourself and others as safe as possible at all times, especially during any match incidents and both pre-match and at half-time in the concourses.
Remember that throwing objects and the use of flares, pyrotechnics and smoke bombs are strictly forbidden. Remain in the seat you have purchased, and refrain from standing on your seats and blocking aisles in the away section.
All supporters will be searched thoroughly before entering the stadium.
