Not a rumour but more of a question-do you reckon kaspar deserved the barrage of abuse he received last night? Top keeper who didn't really want to leave but made us a few quid

He got the abusive for ignoring the kop when we were clapping him at the start of the 2.nd half

No i suspect he didnt, will be the old 'son-of-scum' thing i guess. Dont see the point myself. Imagine if we did the opposite and cheered all ex players. Looked what happened to Beckford last season. Got cheered, opposing manager subbed him!

I didn't agree with the chants or abuse Kasper received. He was a victim of the Bates, pretend to over them a contract they refused we sell them brigade. It is however true that at the start of the 2nd half Kasper walked towards the Kop, who were showing him a respectful round of applause, and he simply turned his back on them w/o acknowledgement. I don't condone what happened, but he appeared almost nonchalant to the fans. He should remember we didn't sell him, Pappa Smurf concocted that situation.

Kasper was a victim of his own surname, and i dont think he was THAT good, his shot stopping is good, but his decision making was hurrendous, hed get beat from 30 yards and get in the left backs face

Singing your just a sh*t b****** was a bit harsh tbh im sure that Man U dont think of him as one of there only after all he played for City and Leed united so i highly doubt they love him

The abuse started in the first half, so How can you say it started when he ignored the Kop at half time ?

He deserved every bit of abuse he got he used leeds has a stepping stone!

I can say he got the abuse for ignoring the kop in the 2.nd half because before that i didnt hear any abuse towards kasper from the kop or the other stands... my statement was in answer to the abuse i heard and the south stand wasnt loud enough for me to hear saturday

Cant believe he ignored the kop applauding him how rude. remember our chant we gave to him, 'ya dad's a c**t but your alright' u all should have sung ' ya dad's a c**t and so are you' lol abuse the ex leeds son of a c**t who ignored your applause! abuse him more when we visit the king power stadium when we score 5 past him, we should be in a strong play-off spot by then :)

I live in devon and get up when I can leaving at 6am snd getting home at midnight doing a 700 mile round trip does this mean I ain't a true fan MOT forever and all u anti nw fans shut up we will be there come the business end of the season

You just can't please some people on here my friend. Think you have to go around the international date line to be called a true fan. I think football is a single man's game now.

Now the takeover is all but complete Norwich city have decided to publicly come forward to announce that they are the financial backing behind GFH Capital, and that they intend to rename the club for the start of the next Championship season 'Norwich City B'. This would fully commit 'Leeds' to the role of feeder club as Norwich look to continue working towards sustaining Premiership football for years to come. Ultimately this would take away any chance of the former 'Leeds' team progressing any further than the Championship, but Norwich saw that the fans already had limited optimism and are fully accustomed to underachievement. The above facts and previous transfer history made the mediocre team ideal for Norwich's future plans.
MOT

Your about as funny as anthrax,its Norwich who are filled with Leeds cast offs,who we will surely pass on our way up,and them down.

Reasons crowd down.....we have been removed from the leeds public's view by the removal of live radio to the masses, people who used to follow the whites no longer have access to media coverage so they lose interest, bates priced a lot of families out of the picture with massive price increases during times of financial restraint, we isolated the next generation of fans by making it difficult financially and following via the media the whites, exposure to other teams made our kids follow their progress, even hitler was smart enough to used the power of propaganda the sway the masses and get fanatical support.we need a massive push on customer satisfaction by making it affordable to lads and dads who listen to games they can't attend and wet the apatite and create a a new generation of fanatic, my advice is to the new owners get match day back on radio leeds, lower the prices and keep the fans informed, no more secrecy, buy some quality player and show willing and re shall reap what you sew and win back the massive fanatical fan base you have lost. i rest my case........... goodnight zzzzzz

The team are now playing better because they realise the club now has the money to replace them in jan if they don't get their acts together!! About time!

ed i travel up from peterboro most weeks and i thought last nite was poor attendance but saying that it was mid week game and times are hard for a lot of peeps so all i will say to the peeps who dnt get there try and get to a few when u can it makes a diffrence ! mot nickybee

Only a suggestion . if the board came out and said their doing away with £31 a time cat a games (last year- donny , burnley , barnsley , brum , cardiff etc ) it wud be a sign to the stay away fans that we are not being shafted anymore .

congratulations leeds utd for a cracking performance against leicester last night. hard fought out gritty performance.
tate/lees were outstanding, byram and norris were excellent. allround great performance by everyone, even brown whenn he came on. why did'nt warnock replace thomas with hall - like for like, just keep that option of a left winger to be a threat down the flank/crosses for becchio/norris & green.

So you say brown came on and gave a great performance , we won, but why didnt he put hall on to replace thomas instead of brown,jeez , some people

He put brown on to close off the game defensively....personally I would have carried on attacking by putting hall on but NWs tictacs worked so no one will complain

Just because he believes that brown did well, it doesn't mean he can't question or agree with the decision.
Original poster I agree with you, for me offence is the best form of defence. It takes the pressure of the defence.
First reply to you - jeez some people.

one thing dawned on me last night when i was sat in the north west corner at kick off.I looked around and realised we are not a big club anymore. probably have'nt been for a while but for me seeing 17000 fans there just realised. Where are the fans who were staying away until takeover. A one club city its a joke especially when you look at a little club like brighton getting 24000 on the same night.
leeds fans should be ashamed of ourselves.
i bet if we get to the play off final at wembley the plastic fans will appear.

I thought that myself. Was only my 3rd match of the season (I don't live in Leeds so travel is expensive and current times) pre takeover we had larger crowds than last night. Hoping it's just the mid week Christmas period money wise keeping people away. Hopefully new year we can get back to 25-30k or maybe not. Wonder how many true fans we have. I'd say a lot of the early 00s pre relegation fans were glory hunters as Leeds were the cool on form team

Crmd

It occured to me while I was sat at home last night watching the results tick over online that, wouldn't it be nice to be able to go to Elland Road more often, perhaps if I stopped feeding my kids or paying the leccy, I might manage the stupid premiership prices I would have to pay but, alas, I made a commitment to my wife and family that I would remain a PLASTIC fan, which, i presume, means that the only way I could afford it would be to do it on a credit card. I have a life, I love my family and I love my football team but obviously not enough for you REAL fans. I apologise if my decisions offend you, I thought maybe you might be happy that the club has a brighter future now but, I guess not, some people will always find an excuse to have a good whinge.

I was there last night. As I am every home game as I have a season ticket. The problem is I think is one of cost and Bates etc...but just generally we have had a decade of disappointment followed by disappointment, layered by crushing disappointment. Most people have written off Tuesday night home games, as it's been over a year since we last won or kept a clean sheet. It'll take time for people to believe again. The last two games have been a good start, but January and GFH's true intentions will be the true acid test.

Think you will find we are staying away till Bates is out, not takeover. He's still there, still in charge isn't he? Question answered.....

Tickets for those games should be loyalty based.

Take the Leceister fans out last nights crowd, probably only 16,000 Leeds fans attended last nights game, What is the answer to get fans back, is it Still because Bates is at the club, Ticket Prices, the Team, the Weather,Can't be bothered, I'd love to hear some reasons why.

Unfortunately I can't come at the moment as food as taking precedent over football. Sorry if my priorities and that of many others are wrong and football should be the one primary concern.
In case you didn't know, the majority of people in the North are not very affluent at this current time (the south has always been more affluent anyway).
When a ticket is the price of a months money for food at work, or half a months travel it gets to the point where it is no longer financially viable.

I started supporting Leeds when I was 9, 46 years ago when I lived in Norfolk. I went to university in London and got to see them when they came down to Arsenal, my mate was an arsenal fan. I moved up to Sheffield after that. Still I knew no other Leeds fans. I got a job in Bradford in 91 and came into contact with other Leeds fans and started to go to ER with them and up to this year have missed a couple of matches. There has always been something to fight for be it good or bad. This year however I lost hope of progress under the Bates regime. I still seek out every crumb of news on Twi**er'aggregation sites an all other avenues. I still live and breath the whites. With the new regime I once again have hope and from Ipswich onwards will be at ER every game. Call me what you want, I don't care, but that is my honest reason for absence for Sept, Oct and November this year.

I understand cost, family comes first. But please stop using Bates as a smoke screen as to why you can't be bothered to come. I was proud of the 17,000 last night. When we go up again, and we are playing in the Prem League, those of us who have stuck by the club will all remember last night, the Gary Speed remembernce was special. As was the commitment of the players and fans

Why do people keep using bates as an excuse , he has no say in anything to do with Leeds utd anymore, he owns nothing, he takes no money, you are not lining his pockets by going, you are just hurting your club.if you can't afford to go, like i cant every week,then fine , but stop with the bates crap

Until Saturday and the Palace game I hadnt been to ER since the Man Utd Cup Game, and had boycotted ER because of bates and ultimately his comments in the programme that night.
I will be at ER for as many games as I can make/afford from now on, against palace and Leicester it was great to be back and Ive missed ER like you would never know.
Bates has gone, it is now a new era, and one which all fans should support and give a chance by attending ER en mass.
If you cant make it to ER cos of personal circumstances fair enough, but your 'Bates excuse' is no longer valid. MOVE ON

Guys, tuesday night games have always had bad attendences (people like me work nights through the week so i go weekend home and away), if we get some proper quility on the field in jan then maybe everyone will feel they are getting there moneys worth. We was a once huge club we arn't at the moment but we are definatly on the rise! get back to how we was or possibly bigger. Till then then we are championship side paying premiership prices to watch us play the likes of derby, brighton,peterborugh ect, instead of scum, arsenal, chelsea, spurs ect. You all see where i am coming from. I stongly feel we have a good chance in getting promoted this season NW is the perfect man for the job, wait and see in a couple of seasons when we are back in the big time it will be 35000-40000 average. Hope we can all stop bickering its a great time to be a leeds fan. Ben MOT!

The Jyg

Last tuesday night victory in the league was August 16th 2011 4-1 win over Hull City

364 Days to be precise from yesterdays result - even longer for a league win on a Tuesday night at ER - about 15 months!
