Yes, I also think the atmosphere as we kick off will be great tonight. If we get the first goal I think that will inspire the fans and propel us forward.

Don't concede and have a good go at the opposition early. 2 vital ingredients to the atmosphere.

Having a good go doesn't have to be shots on target, it can simply mean getting in their faces/tackles etc.

Reminds me of that Sheffield United tackle a few years back. Did he even get booked?

Classic howler tackle then stay down and pretend you are more injured than the player you clattered, hoping the ref thinks he fouled you

On Lameires? I think he got booked but not sent off from memory.

Plenty of ammunition:

Revealed: The sides that opposition supporters sing about most

Leeds lead the way, with Liverpool and Tottenham also proving unpopular with fans of rival clubs up and down the country

An early Leeds goal will suck the atmos away. We need to stay competitive and combative. If we're well in the match (equaling or bettering them) it could be very good indeed.

The pre match mish mash of about 7 different songs played about 10 mins before the teams come out is dreadful

Way too much going on, needs binning asap

Absolutely ruins any atmosphere from the fans as well. Also I know people will argue but the Sky blue song version is shit and completely different tempo to how we sing it. Much rather hear our fans than some brass band played at the speed of death itself.

Go back to last years pre match video of historic moments, then stop playing the first bit of WLADITT to cut out the cringey clapping.

I’ll allow country roads at some point as well.

It's a minor point but I find it utterly bizarre that they play Country Roads, a song which then inspires a chant about how much we want to go back to our old stadium. Just feel it sends out an odd message when they're trying to build atmosphere in the CBS

Think you’re overthinking it tbh. Any singing is good singing. Half the Leeds fans seemed to be singing Lampard is a library at one point.

I'd be inclined to agree that any singing is good singing, but how are we going to make the CBS into a fortress if we're encouraged to sign about how much we miss our previous stadium?

I enjoy the song. I don’t miss HR at all and half the fans never saw it

OK,

Question: Are Torp and Rudoni ‘fucking shit’? A fine fellow behind us keeps shouting it at our games. His other mantra is ‘we are fucking shit and the players are a bunch of c*8ts.

Seriously difficult to get any atmosphere going with him behind.

It's not that deep really. Neither is singing about Tottenham and Chelsea in our anthem or Living and Dying in Coventry.

They seem quite proud of him!

Leeds United supporters cheer on Jimmy Savile as 'one of their own'

The fan was kitted out in a shell suit, blonde wig, and rose-tinted glasses - and had a cigar in his mouth. Leeds fans sang: 'He's one of our own, he's one of our own, Jimmy Savile, he's one of our own.'

Someone a few rows back from me shouted that “Of course we’re losing, we’re a town full of immigrants we pay for” at one point. Then when he got a few looks “if you don’t like it you can …. Just shut up”. Absolutely bizarre and the first racist stuff I’ve heard at the ground. Thankfully nothing more like it all game.

Pre match mix is dreadful.

It used to be brilliant 2/3 years ago when people got in their seats early and people joined in with the songs. Now it just sounds like a jumble of naff songs.

Doesn’t help that I don’t even know what the chants are for half of them. We really do need better chants if we’re going to do it. We had that 3 years ago.

Things can be done about that. The twerp wouldn’t last long if he kept on with it.

I was waiting for him to do it again so I could identify him and report him. Hopefully someone had a word.

To be fair, he's got a point. If we got rid of the likes of Wright, Torp, and MVE, and replaced them with good old white English players, we'd be sure to win every week.

They used to sing a song back in the day glorifying the Yorkshire Ripper.
