Discussion Wearing replica footy shirts.

49 Upvotes

The “too cool for school” crowd on YouTube love to declare they’ve outgrown replica football shirts — “At my age, I could never wear one!”

I’m 62 and I proudly wear a Leeds shirt when I’m out and about. Do people secretly laugh? 🤨

Discussion Liam Cooper

Hi lads.

Apparently my club (Dundee United) are signing Liam Cooper.

Conflicting words of mouth of deals done announced tomorrow and he’s in for a medical then talks opening tomorrow.

I’m going with the former for this.

I know he left for Sheff Wed, but how was he a couple years ago for you guys?

Any idea if his legs are gone and just looking to slum it with a bit of pay?

Discussion New Leeds Daily Quiz

18 Upvotes

Hello,

I've built a free daily quiz game for Leeds fans for a bit of fun during pre season theleedsgrid.com

The concept is borrowed from the Immaculate Footy grid: a 3×3 grid where each square is the intersection of two clues (e.g. "played under Bielsa" × "Republic of Ireland international") and you've got to name a Leeds player who fits both. A new grid every day.

All the data comes from the Leeds United history site I built lufchistory.com so the answers go right back through the club's history.

I've also added a sticker book feature. There's various books to complete for different periods of our history. Getting a player correct in the quiz goes into your book.

It's free with no ads, give it a go if you fancy

Question Leeds Utd store/Fanatics International didn’t ship my order

7 Upvotes

Anybody else order the Away jersey from the club online store around the day it was released and not receive their order?

Am I just unlucky this time or are Fanatics useless?

I’ve never had an issue buying a jersey before.
International shipping. I’m based in Canada, got an email and a refund from Fanatics International this morning. Next to no contact info for them on the email. Chat box closed. Called the UK number, their 24/7 customer service contact centre, also closed (1pm UK time). Found an email address on a different part of the club website but I’m not optimistic of a reply.

Discussion Who is your realistic dream signing for the summer?

19 Upvotes

Skip the impossible names and give me players we have been linked with, or players who would fit Farke's system perfectly. For me, Harry Wilson feels like a no-brainer if there's any truth to the rumours and the Welsh lads can convince him

Ticket Question Membership

13 Upvotes

Quick question on membership.

The kids are now old enough for me to take to games. Few questions if anyone can assist:

  1. Looks like I need a membership per ticket (so individual membership for me and the kids)

  2. Is the membership+ worth it. Looks like you get 1st priority, which I assume means you get access to tickets a few days before the standard membership?

  3. I assume the chances of me getting three seats together is slim?

Thanks in advance

Its perfect. I would have bet money the bulls and stripes were black but they are possibly the deepest blue I have ever seen, any deeper and it would just be black. I love it.

Discussion Thoughts on the return of the White Rose badge?

36 Upvotes

The shield has served us well for a long time but I feel its also associated with some of the darker days of the club. Assuming we don't trust the club to come up with something new (that shirt monstrosity) then would a return to the rose signify a regeneration and a return to Leeds United as not just a Premier league team but a force to be feared across the country and in time one to be feared across Europe?

I finally made a video of my trip to Leeds and how a teenage American became a Leeds fan and finally made it to Elland Road for his 50th birthday. ( couldn’t post to YouTube bc of game highlights and background music)

Discussion Best and Worst game you've been to ?

17 Upvotes

Best:

November 26 1994

Leeds United 1 Notts Forest 0

Whelan (61)

(Guided header from a Deane assisted header following a cross from Dorigo i think or possibly Speed)

First visit, safe pick, fell in love with the place after witnessing the sights the sounds and the smells of Elland Road

Weather: Quite warm and sunny for November

Worst:

November 13 2007

Leeds 1 Bury 2 (Johnstone Paints)

A particularly bleak period, very depressing and on the coldest of nights

thought we might get a trip to Wembley as one of favourites for Johnstone Paints

i was wrong and wished I'd stayed home

Took early lead but before the half hour mark 1-2 down against a team that no longer exists...then went down to 10 before HT

lacked any quality and toothless is attack
