Singing at the ground tonight...
I thought was ace once again..
And it was fantastic that even though they persisted with their anti-Bates chants relentlessly, which is fair enough, they through in the occasional 'ONLY ONE SIMON GRAYSON' just to let him know that they dont think it's his fault..
Soft of confirms what Twiggs keeps saying, which is that the OLDER generation of Leeds fans that still attend ER (all of his school buddies), of which there are HEAPS, and most of whom do not know what a message board is, still believe in Simon..
Great stuff guys!! :thup:

Anti-Bates chants weren't relentless though Silky, but I agree it was great to hear There's Only One Simon Grayson and that chant was more than occasional.
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.
Re: Singing at the ground tonight...
Bates has had the chance this summer to get the fans on his side, he's failed miserably with very low key signings whilst other clubs have signed some quality players without spending too much !
I can fully understand the fans frustrations when they see clubs showing ambition & our beloved Leeds standing still
All the same the anti- Bates chants are not good during the game as were the O'Brien sarcastic cheers & the racial chants, not very clever !
To be fair to our fans they did get behind the lads & showed their approval of Larry when chanting ' One Simon Grayson...'
Personally i am very concerned, hoping for some points v Boro' & Hull, if not i can see the fans frustration reaching boiling point
Long season ahead & a roller-coaster ride at the wrong end of the table i fear !

Re: Singing at the ground tonight...
Not funny Johnny Utah, not funny at all.
I am really saddended to hear this type of chant at Elland Road......I am not stupid enough to think that we erridicated racism from ER altogether, that sadly will probably never happen, but I thought we had moved on from that kind of vile rubbish being sung !
Was it from a big section of the Kop or small minority elsewhere ?

I was there but tbh I didn't hear any racist chanting at all, which I'm glad about, I was in the West Stand btwGurj wrote:Not funny Johnny Utah, not funny at all.

That's really disappointing. The people who sang that are knobs and an embarrassment to the club.1964white wrote:

Just p1sses me off that stewards who are all too keen to make people sit down do not show the same level of urgency to report these " fans " no sorry, these " w@nkers " to the police !1964white wrote:

Must admit I have been really saddened all day at work today as my mind kept coming back to these chants......wish this scum would detach themselves from LUFC !!

Not being funny lads - but if the stewards were put on a high alert to racist chants, the thicko's would be kicking out fans singing "Come on you WHITES" ..."oh when the Whites go marching in".1964white wrote: No Gurj, some to the right of me & group of them singing racial chants as i left the ground
Agreed that racist chants are disgusting...just don't give the steward twats any more reason to kick out Leeds fans.
It is up to the Leeds fans to tell the racists they are not welcome....
Did you and your mates confront the scum, '64? I hope so.
