Shameless LBA spotting question...!

Guys, can anybody let me know what determines in which direction a/c depart or arrive at Leeds? My guess is wind direction or local noise issues at night...

The only reason I ask is that a friend landed at LBA from AMS on Saturday afternoon and I was keen to see his Fokker 70 come in. I positioned myself close to the runway underpass expecting it to touch down from an Ilkley / Otley direction. But it didn't, it approached over Leeds - Cookridge, Horsforth etc !!

As a Mancunian, I aint local, so I accept that I got it all wrong!!

Thanks all...
