The invasion of East Lancashire?
Leeds fans are set to swarm on Blackburn in two weeks time with the Lancashire club making more tickets available for the visiting end at Ewood Park.
Leeds have already sold an astonishing 5000 tickets for November 30th's "War of the Roses" clash and our number could swell to 6,800 as Rovers have now also given us the upper tier of the Bryan Douglas Darwen End stand following this incredible demand.
Despite a sticky patch in the early Autumn, there appears to be a renewed vigour and belief amongst the Whites' fans that we can move into the play-off places by Christmas. Last weekend's 4-2 win at Charlton took us up to eighth just one point behind Brian McDermott's old club Reading.
Lets hope the players repay this amazing leap of faith from the fans. Our record there isnt too bad either as we have won four and drawn two of our last ten visits to Ewood Park.
What to read next:
Norwich AwaydazeWe visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.
Leeds cruise to comfortable win over CoventryLeeds totally dominated this game against a lacklustre Coventry City, and if anything should have won more comfortably. It now looks like the team is coming together, though there will be tougher tests in the weeks to come.
Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
Patience Pays off as Solomon signs for LeedsAs Manor Solomon joined us on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur, the club were quick to justify their approach to the transfer market when they announced the news on the official website.
