Guest Tatty Boabie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm very close to sticking £100 on Leeds to win tonight at 4/6.Am i a lunatic or a very shrewd individual? Undecided. Anyway, all aboard, strap yourselves in tight, this could be a rocky ride. I'm off to the pub to watch it. Hope I haven't aged too much by the end of it. Come on Leeds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rinky Sidebottom Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) 0 - 0 and rather a bore if you want my opinion. Hereford did exactly what I thought they would, ran at the Leeds defence and played the high ball regularly. I didn't think we showed anything and perhaps a draw was a fare result. De Costa had more clothes on tonight than a man going to the North Pole, it doesn't bode well for the January - March midweek games for the Portuguese lad. Hereford should have scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes, how earth the bloke missed the last minute goal I don't know, especially as the linesman didn't give him offside... Still Leeds Carnegie beat Castres... Edited November 9, 2007 by Rinky Sidebottom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tatty Boabie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, it was a bit of a bore draw. Would like to have seen more from Leeds and my heart was in my mouth a few times, but hey ho, a replay at Castle Elland Road. Wonder what team he will put out for the replay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisal Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It was carlisle's record crowd on saturday,so no surprise about tonights game.Am sure this will happen at most away games involving leeds this season. No it wasn't. Also I would doubt any records will be broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tatty Boabie Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 No it wasn't. Also I would doubt any records will be broken. I think you must be referring to the good old days, in the old Third Division North, where Carlisle v Workington Town attracted crowds of about 96000, and there was no need for any throw-ins, as the ball just bounced off the crowd and back into play. The goalkeeper used to smoke a pipe when he didn't have much to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm refering to Carlisles Record attendance, 27500 FA cup v Boro' in 1970 (also v Birmingham). There were throw ins and none of the goalkeepers smoked a pipe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TranentBRFC Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Big Doris is back from Leicester, having recovered from his foot injury - he could be playing on Tuesday night in the JPT v Bury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rinky Sidebottom Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Big Doris is back from Leicester, having recovered from his foot injury - he could be playing on Tuesday night in the JPT v Bury. Strange one that one, didn't think he was anything much first time around, but perhaps he had a lot to give in the dressing room and he is certainly experienced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJP Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Tight old Leeds. You need the money, yet only give Swindon 1,800 tickets. Swindon sold these out and not getting anymore. I sold my ticket to a mate, due to it clashing with Scotland v Italy. Country 1st. Still tight of Leeds, by sounds of it, we could have easily sold over 3,000 tickets. Most the away fans never bother though, so f**k em, give me a trip to Chesterfield to stand in the open terrace behind the goal over a glamour team any day of the week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this is being "tight."? Annoying for those who miss out, yes, but not tight, to be honest it has happened to Leeds most of this season when our away fans are usually more than the home teams home support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past most teams got the behind the goal area. You're ground holds round 40,000. You could easily put 3,000 extra there. There will only be round 30,000 at the match, thus leaving 10,000 spare seats in the Leeds end. Glamour will fade off next season when you are in league 1 again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamour will fade off next season when you are in league 1 again Come on, at the rate we are going we could be champions by February. The main stand at ER no longer has the top tier being used, so our crowd capacity is cut. As I said very few clubs bring enough away support to fill behind the goal, I certainly haven't seen that filled by any club outside of Man Ure, Liverpool and a few other prem. clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJP Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Come on, at the rate we are going we could be champions by February. I fear you're right. Will be a nightmere for me as my mate is a Leeds fan. Despite there 15 point disadvantage, I wouldn't take him up on a bet that Leeds would finish higher then Swindon and i gamble on everything. Had to settle for betting against my mate who supports QPR and hoping at Swindon finish in a higher posisition then them (despite different leagues) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow Loon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 League rules state that leeds have to give 2000 tickets min to away team supporters. But that can be cut if agreed between clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow Loon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 It was carlisles record crowd since it became all seated. The days of standing have made sure the old records will never be beaten since the taylor report made grounds all seated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
