This is a message to all Leeds fans. Get your self down to the game Saturday with no excuses. Since leaving school 3 years ago I work with my Anty on the market I get paid Â£150pw and give my mum Â£50. I still get a ticket every time Leeds play at eland road and I walk 7miles each way to watch the boys.

Good for you pal seems like you have it sorted. For me the walk is a tad to far but I will be cheering on from pub instead

Try having a family to support, bills to pay, car which needs fuel, mortgage to pay and so on. I life 200 miles away and would love to go every week but simply cannot. I know you mean well but shut up

Good for you mate, but you clearly don't have any other commitments i.e kids mortgage. times are tough for a lot of families mate not everyone can afford it.

Not all of us can afford it though, I mean i'm not walking the 30 miles to ER there and back, and I know that other fans live thousands of miles away.

I understand both points of this argument. 1) People should make all efforts to get to ER. Even if the clash is on tv, its not the same as at ER. 2) Finances and homelife doesn't allow you to get there as much as you wish, you may be on a tight budget or can't always get to ER because of the other half.

I do try and get to each game as a can, but it comes at a price (the girlfriend comes along). So that's 2 x tickets Â£50/60, petrol Â£20, programme Â£3 (got one from everygame I have gone so not going to stop), drinks Â£20, food Â£10, and to say we live on a budget of Â£150 per week we can't justify it each week.

So instead of each fan saying your not a true fan you can't go, or you don't have to worry about money and can go unlike me etc, let's just stand united and realise that all of us are true fans!

PS I will be going Bolton away! (closer to home and don't have to bring the MRS!)

Peace out!

Not everyone lives with their parents and can spend their money solely on luxuries my friend

No more excusses, bates gone the management is sorted
bought a million pound player
its up to all leeds supports to come to the games as much as they can
i can't afford it so bought a season ticket and 5 of use share the car
everybody could do this
get to the games they have changed this season and support is brilliant and more optimistic

I flew back from our family holiday in Spain on tues, touched down at 1730 got our cases dropped the wife and son off at home and made my way to Donny, not going tomorrow as work and finance dictate not. It's a case of if you can do it go, but a good majority of fans have budgets and houses and families to keep.

Nice story
Did similar mate when I was a young lad from Huddersfield to ER for the grand total of Â£1.50 to stand on the kop
