The festive fixture list is packed for Leeds this year

It feels like a very long time since Leeds United last kicked a football competitively. The winter World Cup break means Leeds haven’t played a league match since the 4-3 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on November 12.

News that rail strikes will continue into the New Year means fans attending these games via trains, both at Elland Road and away games, will likely be impacted.  Strike dates for the festive period have been confirmed by the Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport workers (RMT).

Rail services in Leeds were impacted by strike action on December 13, 14, 16 and 17 . Further dates are also set for December 24 until December 27.

Industrial action will continue into the new year as the union has also confirmed there will be four days of strikes in the first week of 2023. These dates are January 3, 4, 6 and 7.
