Season Tickets

I'm looking forward to it. We were robbed at Elland Road last year, and I didn't get to go to the game at the CG. Also, I haven't seen the CG full (or close to) for quite a while now.

I just hope those around me in the TE will pull their finger out, get behind the team and make some noise to compete with the dirty lot in the away end.

I'm looking forward to Ankergren's reunion with the town end!

Yes Ben that's exactly what I'm saying. 


No how the heck did you get that from that statement.  What I mean is the big crowd is not down to loads of part time Town fans turning up, it's down to Leeds bringing 3,000 in the away end and loads of "Leeds followers" who maybe live in this area turning up to watch Leeds.  Yeah I'm sure there will be a fair few Town fans who don't go to every match turning up, which is fine, but the not in the huge numbers people think.  Last season in the Arkells there were shed loads of middle aged Leeds fans in the winners at half time, sat near me in the enclosure etc.

Just saying that yes the attendance will be larger than normal, but that doesn't really make it a "huge" match for me.  It's just another league match.

Just thinking you're dismissing all the people who do go regularly who think that the Leeds game is a big game, just because you don't want to think it is.

A lot of these "armchair" other fans will be ones who pick 5-10 games a season, not complete armchair fans. Just that the fans that do go to a limited number of games will probably pick the same bigger matches, increasing the crowd.

That wasn't the intention Ben, I don't have anything against Town fans who can only make a handful of games per season.  Not question of their loyalty, or opinion on STF matters.

It;s only my opinion that Leeds is just another match, if it means more to some other people then fair enough!

Like it or not, Leeds is a big game. It'll be our highest attendance of the season again, and I think that speaks for itself.

I personally can't wait!

The Attendance just indicates that Leeds are a well supported club and will bring about 3,000 more fans than most of teams in this league will.

For me a big game is doing over local rivals, smacking it to higher division opponents, or when something matters (ensuring promotion, cup advancement, etc). Leeds is just another 3 points in the grand scheme of things.

It's nice to get a big crowd and hopefully a bit of atmosphere though.

[janaage]

Agree with all of that Batch!

I don't think he is Leeds first choice keeper anymore?

I'll be the first to admit that I pencilled in the Leeds game last year as a big game, and attended accordingly. I managed 4 games last season, despite being in the USA until February, and frankly I enjoyed the other 3 games more than the Leeds game. Partly because of the results (we won the others), and partly because I managed to get a beer in the Merlin without having to queue for 30 minutes etc. So this year I can't be arsed - well actually I'm going to my Best Man's wedding instead. I'll be there for their Yorkshire rivals 'uddersfield though.....

Definitely a big game. Can't wait.
