It will be hostile for Chelsea, in fairness. You get 35,000 Leeds fans in one place (plus all the local nutters from the estates of South Leeds turning up before and after the game) and it's obviously going to be similar to the scum game last season.
Basically..... we are advised and most of our fans are taking either the Chelsea train which goes to Wakefield and then we are bussed from there or the coaches which go from Stamford Bridge and are escorted in as they approach Leeds. Tickets have sold out to season ticket holders but a few more go on sale to members of the club. It won't go on general sale or any of that nonsense. For the train which we are taking, we go to Wakefield. No alcohol on the train etc. and there will be a heavy police presence on the train. Then from Wakefield we are all bussed to Elland Road with police escort obviously. No alcohol etc. in our section of the ground. We will probably be held in the ground for like 20 mins after the game and then it's the same routine back etc... We do have class away support even if our home support is terrible!
I think it will be almost identical. I look forward to the reception you boys will give us. It will be a great atmopshere for sure.
No alcohol, but they won't stop you taking an innocent 2 litre bottle of Coke with a little something something added.
Nothing we do is as embarrassing as that screechy whingey Marching on Together you play through your tannoy to compensate for no fans making any noise. Not to mention that waving of the scarves, that is one of the saddest sights in football.
a warning for you that Chelsea are back to their best today, we played our best game of the season and they could have scored 6 so be wary in the league cup next week.
You had 35,000 there for the playoff semi final against us - so hostile that we took the piss all night
You gave a **** that night all right Hotels booked, train tickets and flights paid for - and in 1 second, Jimmy Abdou created a swine flu epidemic in Yorkshire.
Rosenior, whatever Leeds fans do or don't do, you can't seriously believe that we won't make any noise. We outsing most if not all home fans when we go away. So on our own patch, no opposition fans leave saying they haven't heard our lot. However bad our lives have got over the past few years, you can rest assured that we will reserve a really special welcome for you lot, especially given the Papa Smurf angle!!!!!
