Back in the Highfield Road days, I remember a large mob of Leeds fans being escorted from the Gosford Green area around the back of the Spion Kop and all chanting - to the 'tune' of We are Leeds, (repeat) but with the words 'Get your coat, Get your coat, Get your coat' Thought at the time 'wtf is that all about?'' and wondered if my ears were mishearing the words (pretty certain it was, though)!

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.

Yes probably a good chance it was Leeds fans singing We are Leeds, also heard Aston Villa fans once chanting Villa really loud walking down Gulson Rd...amazing!

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.

Might sound rather callous of me, but i'd prefer the large away allocations over trying to squeeze in another couple of thousand City fans.

Atmosphere generally (not always) better with a large away allocation, and makes our noisy support more up for it as well.

If you re-read my post, that was not what they were singing. It was the slightly strange 'Get your coat' Anyway, your dripping sarcasm is duly noted.

I genuinely can’t think of anything worse than going on an away day without actually going to the match.

The ex wife, literally the worst human being I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting, was a Leeds fan, got it from her stepdad who beat her mum.

This is my experience of Leeds fans and I will not be taking further submissions.

Not that long ago the worst part of an away day was the match, so I disagree with your statement tbh.

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”

Spot on.i remember more of that dirty Leeds squad from the 1970s than any other apart from City. . Their fans still very much live off the success of that era . Horrible team. Clough never had a chance .

Train strike so £130 for the bus replacement.

Not for a pint no. Hopefully Leeds don’t score but if they do it will be interesting to see if it’s just the away end celebrating.

Then expect mass brawls , this isn't 1996

Interesting though how many Leeds fans have previous purchse history in the home end , which is what's required to buy tickets

There won't be any , now hospitality I can't guarantee

There will be none in the standard home end but I reckon there will be a fair number in hospitality especially the balcony.

There have been lots for sale from people who bought them for points without going. If they do then hope police just move them into the away end

This is a call to arms for all normal fans. The legion need you to get your best stone island clobber on and defend the city.

There will as always be at best maybe a handful of away fans in the home sections hospitality not included

Anyone who thinks there will be "loads" is chatting whiff.

I can guarantee you any away fan in a coventry end won’t get out easily, blokes will be travelling across block just to get at them. One Leicester fan in the executive box had to be got out fast someone was climbing up at him.

So if there's a Leeds fan in the home end, someone is going to run across an entire block to get at them. Across loads of seated Cov fans no doubt screaming in a rabid state as he goes. It'll take them forever to get across by which time they'll be stopped or just too tired to be bothered to remove their Cov scarf from their wrist and strangle the offending Yorkshire to death.
I've never heard such bullshit in my life.
