was fantastic. There was only 3-400 of us there - maximum. The fans got behind the team all game and I think it spurred the team on, in the second half especially. None of the silly 'lets pretend we've scored a goal' and 'lets all copy celtic' songs were sang either which was a bonus!
Andy Thorn kept encouraging the lads, even when they made the odd error he was right behind them telling them to keep going and it paid off.
I haven't seen the City fans go that mental when we have scored for a long time, great scenes at FT!

Only heard it via the radio but support sounded brilliant and im sure the players found that extra bit of effort as a way of repaying the fans.

According to the 'Leeds view' elsewhere there were 48 Cov fans in the away end. Not being bitter is he ? He also said there was a poor crowd and no atmosphere, also no doubt the fault of 'pathetic' Cov. So pathetic they didn't lie down and allow the mighty Leeds, greatest of the great, to steam roller a 3 or 4 - 0 win.

Went to Leeds one year and had to sit in their end. Confirmed my view of them as a bunch of ignorant, vile morons.

Great result last night and a real change for us to score at the death. Seems like a win to snatch a draw like that, remember coming back from 2 down against Boro a season or two ago.

There was definitely more than 48 but I'd say no more than 300. He's just being bitter about the atmosphere, we outsang them for the whole game. Unbelievable scenes when the goal went in - thought I was going to have a heartattack! Got a few scrapes and briuses for the trouble as well - must have climbed up and down between four rows to celebrate with absolute strangers! Brilliant

Mumford i had a random bloke jump on me.........was it you?!

i'm still buzzing too.........we never score last min goals away from home!

i've managed to talk 4 ppl to go the burnley match now and talk a couple of people to go to doncaster with me.

Most the lads i know who don't go anymore say its cus the atmosphere is crap, well last night proved the atmoshpere is only as good as we make it..........you can't go blaming stadiums and this that and the other........its down to us.

the more ppl who turn up and the more ppl who get involved in the Support (no random slagging off songs, we are they to support our team) the better.

This lack of atmosphere / positive vibe is a vicious circle and something has to be done to break it..........last night has broken it for me personally - i'm going to make the effort to get as many people as i know to start going to matches again..........if we can get a positive vibe going it will go a long way..............we've all been to great games or remembered great nights being city fans, the only way we are going to get them back is by doing something about ourselves

Our away support even though they lack numbers they do make up for in noise (think that made sence!)

Haven't done an away yet this season, might do Doncaster in two weeks time.

Well done to those that went and got behind the boys last night.

It was one of the games I eyed up as a definite when the fixture list was announced but alas I couldn't afford it in the end. So now I'm jealous.

Managed to talk a mate into attending the Burnley game - would be great if we could get a decent crowd to "help" through our 1st half snooze.

they seemed a decent bunch last night, went the peacock pub right by the ground before and after the game and had a good laugh with the leeds fans.

infact i think we were the last to leave the pub

That right? I'll have to look into that one then.

Leeds over Donnie any day. Been to Donnie twice and both times it was a bit flat - first time round Freddy's dad gave us some tickets outside the ground so can't complain I guess!

Hate Leeds though so that would have been very fun last night.

Sounded like 4000 there! Dont take any notice to what Leeds Utd have to mutter about Cov and the support they were fantastic.

As for Leeds Utd? Fuck off there the most disliked club in the country and really believe there something.. there not in fact with there 20,000+ gates each week you wonder where this image that Leeds are/were some massive club came from. I've never considered them a big club or even thought about them in the top 10-15 clubs in the U.K.

Just laugh at the dopey fuckers.

The best craic is always away. Haven't missed one yet and if you want to go to a great away game go to Peterbro. They still have terraces which will see them omitted from any promotion. Still don't have a voice.

Didn't Blackpool have terraces when they went up? Don't you have to have a certain % seating and have a set amount of time to convert it to 100%? So no wonder Blackpool didn't budget for staying up

Blackpool didnt have terraces they just had 3 stands and one of them didn't have a roof. So they put a roof on it and built a 4th stand.
