NO TO LEEDS AWAY BOYCOTT ETC ETC

Fri Nov 30, 2012 6:53 am

I've read a lot on here about the fact that people want the fans to boycott Leeds away or just send one bus etc there. Are we missing the point here? Fans travel to away games to support the team and lend vocal support in what is a trickier game than at home. Surely the only people that a boycott will make a difference to is our players?

Leeds would feel like they have won because they have managed to get less away support to the ground making it that bit harder for our players. Yes they wouldn't like the commercial drop in money but for one game against the League leaders, I'm guessing they wouldn't really are, especially with a new takeover.

Personally, I would do the opposite! I'd have a role call for fans to all make the effort to get to this game and show them that they can bring the kick off time forward as much as they like, our fans will still be there in huge numbers supporting the boys onto (hopefully) another three points.

I think we need to have a bigger attitude to this and if bringing the kick off time forward a few hours is going to make such a difference to our away travel then I'd say its already Leeds 1-0 Cardiff.

Wolves banned us. We won.

Leeds ground will have no atmosphere whatsoever with no away fans there. Even their fans
know their Club stinks over all this. Our players will look at the empty stand and KNOW full
well why there are no City fans there. So will the manager, so will the Club.

There are many who just wont go BECAUSE of the kick-off time, and who can blame them.

There are many more that think the price (£42) is disgraceful, the stand we'll be put in has no
view, the stewards are bully boys who have an agenda they'd NEVER fulfil against our older
type support, the coppers are scum cunts who will back the stewards and love the idea of 'giving'
it to the Welsh.

f**k Leeds.

Time to make a stand

Yes!! Lets turn up on mass so every other club thinks what a great idea it is to stitch us up and charge us a fortune to turn up at their ground!!!

All Leeds will do is count the pennies!!!

The more City that did go, the more the stewards would find an excuse to
kick off then run behind the coppers.

f**k em

In my eyes Leeds v Cardiff should be pulling in 30k plus at Elland Rd,instead your'e talking of a boycott and with our crowds as poor as they are could be looking at sub 16k should never happen :oops:

Did you go to leeds last season? I did and it was awful, so won't be going back. I hope all city fans boycott it, so leeds get no money out of us.
