Leeds bringing over 4,000 allegedly despite only just over 2,000 tickets (3 Viewers)

[messiahrobins]

Just spoke to a mate who knows a few Leeds lads and apparently they are coming in big numbers despite their moderate allocation.

Not sure why they would do that really, yes its an important game but by no means their biggest of the season.

Why do cov fans have so many stories to tell

It's like the bullshit capital of Europe

 

[Woolly68]

I heard they were bringing 20,000 and 200 tanks

Unless you are Old Bill and actually have some intelligence, how do you know if it is bullshit or not? I am just saying what i was told and thought it was interesting.

Well let's use our heads ...

They've not done this anywhere else but think they will for Coventry

Train strike too!!

 

[Evo1883]

4000 is also a very specific number , why not 4010 ?

 

[Evo1883]

The average cov fan

spoke to a mate of a mate of a mate who says Leeds will bring 4k down even though they've sold 2 , just to stand outside

Could be as its near end of season? I dont know about Leeds and their travelling support much so no idea if they routinely take more to away games than they are allocated or not.

Il just be honest with you , I'm 99% certain this isn't happening , and I have ZERO police intelligence

 

[Woolly68]

He did say over 4000, to be fair.

Still, half a million Leeds fans in Coventry is certainly going to be good for the city if they are spending money on food, drink and museum visits.

Jeez this has triggered you a bit for some reason. If they do bring 4k down good luck to them, it is a freeish country.
I am not suggesting there is anything contentious about it mate.

Cool, like i say its just what a mate told me and i thought it was interesting. Nothing to be excited over.

I’d say 100% certain.

 

[messiahrobins]

I’d say 100% certain.

Would it not be a positive for our city if they did bring 4,000? The ones without tickets probably would find bars to drink in, so it would be good for hospitality?
I dont see it being an issue and they are a large fanbase, I wouldnt travel to an away game without a ticket so it seems a bit of a daft thing to do imho but if they do come fair enough, hope its a shit day out!

Leeds were actually allocated 2,529 which I suspect is precisely the amount that will be travelling.

Bloody hell, they yield more power than I ever thought.

 

[Cally Fedora]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did bring 4-5k. And no, that wouldn’t be positive for the city. I’ve sat in the West Terrace many a time as Leeds fans basically ran into it. Not the most relaxing occurrence.

There won’t be 4k in the stadium. But there might well be 4k travel.

Leeds would bring more

There won't , sorry , you can't genuinley believe that 1500 leeds fans will just come down for a pint

I remember the Notts County away play off leg - Mansfield, Forest and others had all teamed up to take on City fans. In the pub before the game, a lad I know was swearing he'd heard from a few reliable sources it was going to go off - others repeating it, and it became 'fact' - then, nada.....

Cov fans have great stories

 

[clint van damme]

'You got a ticket for Saturday?'

'No mate, you?'

'No, no joy? You want to come round mine, get a few beers and watch it on the stick?'

"I've got a better idea, let's travel down and follow it on Socer Saturday in Bedworth Wetherspoons"

'Nice one, I'm in, it's only £130 on the train'.

Any others who grew up in the 70s will know that Leeds fans outnumbered us at school, usually by about 4 to 1 . And there will be more than a few turncoats amongst our ranks, who pretended they were Peter Lorimer every time they took a fierce shot, or Billy Bremner every time they won a tackle .

Back in the day, you were probably about as close to a Leeds fan as you were to a rat, in most cities , to use a fair comparison.

I make a point of correcting my 2 grandsons who come up the City with us now that the correct pronunciation is “Dirty Leeds”

The pedant in me suggests you forgot the coach drivers…

No, why would you want their fans twice as loud encouraging their team. Why do you think Southampton and Birmingham have reduced our allocations. None of the top teams give large allocations, they are in it to win it looking at the bigger picture.

A few where I drink said they were going to get tickets in the home end,probably couldnt due to ticket history just hope we manage at least a draw so I walk in the pub with a smile on my face instead of listening to super fucking Leeds.
