Excellent and eloquent synopsis, well done!
You always seem to find some decent fans to do these piece s’e – well done.
I too think this could be an upset – Chelsea not in a good place at the moment – believe Lampard has given the foreign lads the sp on how important this game is to the fans – so lets hope for a performance!!
Bates never changes does he – how many more clubs is he going to rip off then jump ship. The man is a disgrace
Q 10.
I could perhaps add to the answer to that one. Apparently, the reduced allocation is not wholly to do with anticipated trouble. Once again the root lies with Kenneth W Bates.
He won his court case against the Police earlier this year regarding the cost of policing at football games. This means the club is now not liable for paying for policing off club premises. This includes the policing at the train staion and the general streets around Elland Road etc etc.
In a meeting between LUFC, CFC, West Yorks Police and the FA, the police said they would not pay for policing the streets with 5000 Chelsea fans at the game, and would only foot the bill for 3000. Because all clubs have to give a certain allocation, the FA stated that these 2000 seats would be left empty as compensation.
So once again Mr.Bates is involved. He thought he had saved himself some money by not paying for the police, but it has now cost him because on one of the busiest nights of the season, he misses out on 2000. At approx £28 each he has lost £56,000 in ticket sales alone. Ironic really…
Balanced thoughts from a true Leeds United fan, well done. Bates is still the disgrace he ever was and certainly no ‘fit and proper person’ to run any club. Both Chelsea and Leeds share the same history of this jumped up, fly boy with an ego bigger than either club. I think Chelsea will take them tonight but I’m biased and am the first to admit that this is a possible banana skin for the blues. I think Leeds will get the back-lash of Sunday’s result in Japan. I would not worry too much about jet lag either as first class sleeping conditions on the giant air buses these days is absolutely top notch. Chelsea have a large squad and cannot use any excuses for not doing a job at Elland Road.
As a Leeds fans for slightly longer than Nick – I think that is an excellent synopsis of where and why we are where we are .Its really hard to see where the rivalry with Chelsea came from; apart from the odd cup upset Chelsea were never really serious competitors of ours!!! MOT
Actually Steveo it’s worse than £56,000 – it’s £560,000
no its £56,000
lol What a difference a ‘0’ makes!
I feel we are in for a true shock tonight. Do not have a positive feeling at all. Some youngsters that Beneathus is planning to put up have none of my confidence.
I really hope the fans behave. I’d like to think the Chelsea lads have more respect that to take Turkish flags….I’d also like to think that our fans will keep the banter respectable. MOT Lets hope for a cracking game.
