Morning all,

As the website says "sell out" and it has been a few weeks without a home game, i wondered which of us are going?
Particularly as kiss of death me is turning up for this one!

Second question....what is the best way to get back to the city centre afterwards?

I had a nightmare with Taxis last time

Any advice would be appreciated

walk ( about 35/40 mins however with your long legs you should do it in 15 :) )
or get the special buses. they leave from sovereign street in city centre and after the match at the bus park opposite the east stand.
enjoy your day and hopefully you dont put the mockers on us !

East Lower L32 row F as per usual, just far enough back not to get wet when we have a downpour.

Not too often, this year being the exception. This time of year is the worst as the sun is usually just above the West stand roof shining straight into my eyes.

Definitely require a cap plus a rain-mac if one is in the lower part of the East Stand

I used to have my season ticket seat on row II which was 9 rows from the front, it was great in a way because you could hear the players shouting and give the linesman “advice” with some of his decisions but a certain evening in September 2000 against AC Milan was the day we decided that the following season we’d move further back. I’m sure most of us will remember it absolutely poured it down all game and Lee Bowyers speculative strike late on slipped through the hands of Dida their highly rated Brazilian keeper to give us a 1-0 victory. I was soaked to the skin but the result made it worthwhile...

I wish!!
However, in early 2019 Chilli will be making a long overdue visit to Elland Road along with another couple of Suffolk Whites.
It's been way too long.

I am L31 FF so probably within shouting distance!

Saturday cant make up its mind as to whether it is going to rain or not
