    Does anyone know if you can book taxis to pick-up after the game from the East Stand / Corner Stand?

    I'm not sure what access will be like and I presume egress will be a nightmare.

    I'm looking for a quick getaway after the Huddersfield game to catch the Red Roses somewhere in town.

    Taxis would be caught in traffic.
    I’d suggest a walk to the Mount until it clears. Chances are they’d put it on one of the screens.

    They only go as far as that convenience store halfway up the hill. I know because we get a taxi from Eldon arcade to the ground and that's where we have to get out.

    Definitely quicker to walk into Tarn. Even for me, at 73 with 2 dodgy knees!

    Taxi would cost a fortune to town due to not moving while the £s clock on.

    I went to the mount after the Bolton game, had a couple of pints then got a uber. It was quiet by then.

    If there’s no reason you cannot walk then walking is definitely the best and quickest way.

    Shows how often I've used taxis in the last 20 years or so.

    I'd rather walk. Used to walk/stagger about 5 miles home after a night out.
