Leeds Leeds Leeds - Boxing Day !

So the biggest game outside the premiership was our next away day, falling on boxing day!

After a good Christmas everyone was looking forward to beating the yorkshire puddings (again!).

Dave's dad had offered to drive, in a van! I was told there was to be a playstation in the back and it meant I could get on the beer so I wasn't going to complain!

My dad, and JoeB joined Dave & his dad in the van. Tom Drove the Megane up as well with the rest altho there was a distinct lack of convoy!

I wan't disapointed on the playstation front either. Despite the teeny screenWe managedto have a good laugh on Joe's Red Card Football. I managed to give everyone a royal whipping despite having never played it before. A stop off at the service gave me a chance to get a pic of the van
The back:
And My dads views on being "made" to drink fosters!
We made good time & arrived at Leeds for about 2, parked up in an industrial estate 5 mins from the ground for £3! My dad headed off to some rough pub, I thought I'd give it a miss and go and see who I could find in the ground!
Walking towards Elland Road:Billy Bremner Statue:In the Que for the turnstile (Which was massive!!!) we met up with Chris, Katy & StezKaty and Me:Big Stand!
We'd been allocated just under 3000 tickets which sold out well in advance. We'd got the "Cheese wedge" and half of the south stand.
The match was good, spoilt by awfull stewarding only bettered by Huddersfield this season and Our idiotic fans asking us to sit down but not wanted to swap tickets. Morons.
After Matt Oakley put us infront, with a sweet shot from the edge of the box, we looked comfy untill the last 15 minutes when we started to sit back and play hooooof ball, you could tell an equaliser was on the way, and sure enough it was, 91st minute. 1-1 at FT. Ah well, most of would have taken a point pre-match, and we're still top of t'league!
I think many of us would love to have beaten the scummers though!!
The way home was less intresting and focused around watching family guy and trying to undo bottles of stella without a bottle opener. Dave finally gets into his after about 30 mins trying when his dad stops for petrol!
Next up is Yeovil on a Monday nite. Vundevall!
