I'm sure our supreme scribe Brizzo will do an excellent matchday thread nearer the time, but I seem to remember a similar January Cup game at NP back in 2002 - I've got this vision of Sam Hamman in my head but can't remember the result though. Looks like our opponents will have a decent away following on the day...................... https://www.leedsunited.com/news/ticketing/30773/tickets-cardiff-city-a-extra-allocation
Can’t believe it was 22 years ago. I was sitting in the Bob Bank and when Leeds scored, one of their supporters jumped up and started cheering. Suffice to say he was soon relocated for his own well-being! It was probably the best atmosphere I’ve ever encountered at a football game and I disagree with all the hype by the media that it was as violent as was suggested. I’ve witnessed a lot worse. It would be great to replicate that score (2-1 by the way Sparkey in case you’ve forgotten) but I fear that with the squad we have now the only supporters celebrating will be from Leeds. Fair play to our club for keeping the ticket prices low and with a large away support it should be another great atmosphere. Looking forward to it.
It was one heck of an atmosphere. I was in the lower grandstand seating nearest the Grange End. Plenty of stuff being thrown on the Grange End and plenty aimed towards Sam Hammam when he went walkabout behind the Leeds goal... Will definitely do a trip down memory lane on the Matchday thread when I get to it.
Anyone here old enough to remember the 1950’s freaky series of FA Cup ties with Leeds?They were drawn together in the 3rd round in 3 consecutive seasons at the same ground and City won all 3 games 2-1.
I see Leeds take on West Ham in a "6 pointer" relegation battle on Wednesday before they come to us on Sunday in the Cup. No doubt they'll rest their better players for the West Ham game to preserve them for the weekend.
This game gives Hudson the chance to rest his better players for the Wigan game but he doesn’t know who they are

At least 6,000 of the bu££ers then. Going to be noisy. Of course we will only be there to see the Leeds.
Would you mind pointing out these better players we have We have an absolutely clueless coach, we’re there for the taking
Sadly our days of almost being guaranteed a win against your boys are now long gone. We lack any real creativity or goal threat and are always prone to being hit on the counter, which I believe will fall right into how your team like to play. To top it off, it looks like half our first choice players defensively and only genuine "quality" forward player are all injured. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see us take a rather depressing hammering on this one.
