Huffer - Pearce - Halme - Struijk - Dallas - Forshaw - Shackleton - Clarke - Baker - Brown - Bamford

Something like that should do. Providing no other injuries of course. Would rather see Dalby or Kun than Bamford and Harrison for Clarke though.

Maybe a Cup tie starting in West London this season could end up in North London next May. We can dream.

Glad I'm not going 63, it mean't rising even earlier with it being a 2pm kick-off. I reckon I'd have to get up at 4am on a cold winters morning :(

Stay in bed have a good sleep, keep warm & save myself £70+ not to watch our U23's is the order of the day. I don't even do the 65 mile journey to Leeds to watch our young un's so why would I wish to travel to London.

It’s not either Leon. The match is not actually being shown by a UK Broadcaster.

Apparently the FA signed a new broadcast contract with overseas television which means a substantial amount of games can be switched for foreign tv.

http://www.thefa.com/news/2018/dec/06/f ... und-061218

As many as 20 games being shown !!!
Absolutely ridiculous and with the FA Cup struggling in recent years anyway, this is just another nail in the coffin.

I mean how many viewers abroad are going to tune into the likew of Millwall v Hull ?!

It’s utter madness by the FA !
LEEDS AND FOREVER PROUD TO BE !!

I should be able to get a ticket in the home end, providing stands aren't shut. Just gotta keep quiet all game, very difficult though!

What a load of sheet. The FA are so desperate to sell out our game to the U.S., China and the Middle East. We can't even get 3pm kick offs in the cup now. :roll:

You'll be okay in the Rangers end, they are a mild-mannered crowd, only problem is if the stewards are a Leeds fan in the home-end they are likely to eject you out of the stadium.

I almost got stopped going into Colchester of all places when we were in League 1.
I had just gone through the turnstiles when a steward spotted my Leeds top under my jacket. I hadn't done the zip up far enough and the top of my Leeds shirt was showing.
He said "you can't be in this stand with that top on". I assured him I would be watching the game with it on and I hadn't paid for a ticket to not see the game. He told me to zip the jacket right up and not to celebrate if Leeds scored or I would be out!
We did score (we won 1-0 with a goal from Becchio) and I did celebrate. No sign of the steward.
I also got to have a nice long chat with Eddie Gray before the game which made my day as he is my favourite all time Leeds player.

Fair play to QPR for trying to sell out for the FA cup 3rd round tie, tickets go on sale next week with a price of £10 adult £3 concessions & U18 £1 we’ve been allocated 3,100
