Gary McAllister has given his views on the Friday night friendly against York City. Andy Robinson and Enoch Showunmi both made their debuts and Jermane Beckford resumed his scoring ways with a goal in the 1-1 draw.

McAllister used 23 players during the match at the KitKat Crescent, essentially a different team in each half.

“It’s all about getting 45 minutes and some time on the pitch,” commented McAllister on the official Leeds United website.

“There some glimpses, but the main thing is that everyone worked hard and it was a good workout.

“I’ve been really pleased with the players since they came back. They’ve looked after themselves over the summer and they’re all in good shape.

“At times against York we looked decent. Jermaine took his goal well and looked a threat.”

Next week the squad begin their tour of Ireland. All matches and social function dates can be found on our LUFC Calendar. There is also a countdown timer for the first match in the right-hand column on this page.

They have been added to our full Leeds United calendar of events

Leeds United fans must purchase their tickets for next month’s pre-season friendly against Barnet FC directly from Underhill.

You can contact the Barnet FC box office on 0208 4496325. Apparently, there is an allocation of 1200 tickets for Leeds United away supporters.

The match takes place on 26th July, KO 3pm; tickets are priced at £15 for adults and £7 for concessions.

This friendly was arranged as part of the Tresor Kandol deal last season and is worth attending even if it is only to enjoy the delight of an away game with a 3pm kick off - they must have a real police force in Barnet! Well done to them! The rest can hang their heads in shame - you know who you are…

Details are now available for getting tickets for Leeds United’s pre-season friendly against Bray Wanderers on Sunday, July 20th.

Ticket prices are: Adult - €15.00, Student - €10.00, Child / OAP - €7.00. That’s approximately £12 for adults at today’s exchange rate.

Interestingly, Bray Wanderers are charging their regular League of Ireland Premier Division ticket prices for the game! Let’s hope the Guinness in the club bar is cheap! Although as Tipperary Natural Mineral Water is one of their corporate sponsors travelling fans may be in for a bit of a disappointment!

If you want to know more about our opponents they have an excellently designed website which is worth a visit. Their shirt sponsors are, worryingly, called “Rehab Bingo“, which brings all kinds of mental images to mind, but the young lady parading in the club jersey adorned with their logo is worth a look.

After 11 games of the season Bray Wanderers are currently in 6th place in the twelve team Premier Division. If you have Setanta Sports you should be able to catch one of their games live before our friendly.
