It's been said many times but our Away support can never be brought into question.
Birmingham (A) Friday 3rd live on Sky- SOLD OUT
Fulham (A) Tuesday 7th -SOLD OUT

Looks like Saturday's game v Sheff Weds will be close to selling out and later in March I'd imagine Brighton at home 17.30 live on Sky will be another near sell out depending on how many The Seagulls bring. I just hope the team can deliver the goods to send everyone home happy after these games

Other teams may have larger fan bases, but no team has a more dedicated, loyal, rabid fan base worldwide than Leeds United.

agree 100% im amazed we have any fans left when you think what we have endured over the last few years police , FA , league and even sky moving fixtures with little or no notice . A lot of our fans take flights , or train journeys and book hotels for overnight stays , they book in advance to try and keep costs down just for them clowns to move games and lose money .ken bates away membership , pie tax .
The big one for me though is the pricing that keeps the family away ,most other clubs have a package where kids come free with 2 adults , or operate kid for a quid , do the club not understand this is the future support they price out , and if you bring in the family merchandise , food + drink follow . wish I hadn't started typing this now as im getting very annoyed , as a club we have more than our fair share of the d1ck head supporters but the majority of leeds fans are decent people and deserve better than whats been given .

The best supporters in the world and true fans who follow through thick or thin, doesn't matter where I travel a lot in the UK but also places across the world but if I put the shirt on, my scarf or even a badge I always get stopped by someone whose also a Leeds fan, strangest ones a old guy (Mexican) in Cancun he loved Billlleee Bremnor and two young Saudis in Ryihad Airport who at the time were more up to speed with going ons with the team than I as MOT always

Agree Bert as fans at times we've been treated like dirt by LUFC apart from the FA/FL & Sky

Highest priced season-tickets outside the prem to watch rubbish in a cramped stadium.
Matchday tickets highly priced.
Queuing up for twelve hours for play-off tickets - organisation an absolute farce.
Herded into grounds like cattle.
£4 a pint.
Refreshments priced far too high.
Poor quality merchandise sold at the highest prices in the club shop.
Sold our best players & replaced them with average/useless players not fit to wear the LUFC shirt.

I could on & on however we've endured all the crap & still support our club in numbers
