Heidi's Blog - Leeds United v Preston North End

[Lufcheidi]

Only 11 years since I stood in a crowd of 13,000 to watch us play Accrington Stanley in the League Cup.

A lot happened since then!

Definitely. Bielsa brought the love of football back for many of us.

Agree Heidi, that was some atmosphere yesterday, incredible scenes at the end when every single supporter was singing.

Like you, I found it quite emotional.

Think it got to many of us. With missing out last time, I really want us to have that experience this time.

Yea, I had one for over 25 yrs, obviously I couldn't go to many with work, but a lot of times my mates would snap them up when I couldn't go, then when thigs were awful, you know, the low crowds and dreadful team, I literally couldn't give it away, so gave it up.
Thats obviously my issue but it's cost me a small fortune since, I do complain about the prices because the facilities are awaful for the money we pay, that west stand is a disaster waiting to happen.
Saturday I had a great view from the esat stand upper, 3 rows from the front.

I was up there last home game in hospitality but a bit higher up. Was a decent view though but wouldn’t like to be at the top of the stand.

See the link below for my Matchday blog and all photos from the Preston game.
There are many other memories to look at too.

Thanks again for the brilliant report & photos Heidi, you got everything spot on as usual. I said in another thread that it was the best atmosphere I’d seen at ER in years helped near the end by the SU scores filtering through.
We were in the East Stand as well on the half way line & couldn’t fault it, usually a bit quieter up there but it was bouncing on Saturday. We’re finding tickets harder to get and that little stick man who walks across the ticket site screen as the queue counts down then practically starts running when they’re all sold out does my head in.
We used to have a local supporters club and could get as many tickets as we wanted most seasons but they eventually dried up and we’re left scrambling for tickets. It’s obviously a good thing that more fans want to attend but they need to start the redevelopment sooner than later.

Thank you. They do and it's sad that I can't help anyone these days.
