Just spoke to a mate who knows a few Leeds lads and apparently they are coming in big numbers despite their moderate allocation.

Not sure why they would do that really, yes its an important game but by no means their biggest of the season.

Unless you are Old Bill and actually have some intelligence, how do you know if it is bullshit or not? I am just saying what i was told and thought it was interesting.

4000 is also a very specific number , why not 4010 ?

Could be as its near end of season? I dont know about Leeds and their travelling support much so no idea if they routinely take more to away games than they are allocated or not.

He did say over 4000, to be fair.

Still, half a million Leeds fans in Coventry is certainly going to be good for the city if they are spending money on food, drink and museum visits.

Jeez this has triggered you a bit for some reason. If they do bring 4k down good luck to them, it is a freeish country.
I am not suggesting there is anything contentious about it mate.

Would it not be a positive for our city if they did bring 4,000? The ones without tickets probably would find bars to drink in, so it would be good for hospitality?
I dont see it being an issue and they are a large fanbase, I wouldnt travel to an away game without a ticket so it seems a bit of a daft thing to do imho but if they do come fair enough, hope its a shit day out!

Leeds were actually allocated 2,529 which I suspect is precisely the amount that will be travelling.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did bring 4-5k. And no, that wouldn’t be positive for the city. I’ve sat in the West Terrace many a time as Leeds fans basically ran into it. Not the most relaxing occurrence.

There won’t be 4k in the stadium. But there might well be 4k travel.

I remember the Notts County away play off leg - Mansfield, Forest and others had all teamed up to take on City fans. In the pub before the game, a lad I know was swearing he'd heard from a few reliable sources it was going to go off - others repeating it, and it became 'fact' - then, nada.....

'You got a ticket for Saturday?'

'No mate, you?'

'No, no joy? You want to come round mine, get a few beers and watch it on the stick?'

"I've got a better idea, let's travel down and follow it on Socer Saturday in Bedworth Wetherspoons"

'Nice one, I'm in, it's only £130 on the train'.

Any others who grew up in the 70s will know that Leeds fans outnumbered us at school, usually by about 4 to 1 . And there will be more than a few turncoats amongst our ranks, who pretended they were Peter Lorimer every time they took a fierce shot, or Billy Bremner every time they won a tackle .

Back in the day, you were probably about as close to a Leeds fan as you were to a rat, in most cities , to use a fair comparison.

I make a point of correcting my 2 grandsons who come up the City with us now that the correct pronunciation is “Dirty Leeds”

No, why would you want their fans twice as loud encouraging their team. Why do you think Southampton and Birmingham have reduced our allocations. None of the top teams give large allocations, they are in it to win it looking at the bigger picture.
