The kick-off time for the Leeds United away trip to Stockport County on Sunday, December 28th has been brought forward on Gefusspo advice.

The scheduled kick-off of 3pm is now a 12 noon kick-off.

This is the sixth kick-off change for an away match for Leeds in 2008-09.

The other weaklings who have changed the kick-off times due to local police admitting they are unable to police a football match are:
Scunthorpe United (a relegated club, wow!), Yeovil Town (no surprise there from the scaredest fans in the league!), Carlisle United (arse-end of Cumbria), Peterborough United (lousy pubs, not missing owt there either) and Huddersfield Town (West Yorkshire police embarrass both teams with their admission).

Presumably at some point the Football League will step in to say that the repeated attempts to prevent Leeds United fans from attending away games is actually against the spirit of the League rules and will not be tolerated without a specific reason being given for the sudden extraordinary circumstances causing a change in kick-off time.

The fact that police feel unable to do the job that they are amply overpaid to do, is clearly not one of them.

We await the seventh change with baited breath and, actually, total disinterest, as we wouldn’t cross the road to piss on these clubs if they were on fire, let alone spend any money watching their wretched teams. Don’t want me, don’t want my money…

Bray Wanderers 2 v Leeds United 3

Leeds United made it two wins on the bounce on their Republic of Ireland tour with a dramatic second-half comeback after trailing 2-0 at half-time.

Eirecom side Bray Wanderers took the lead in the 9th minute through Daryl Robson and Ger Rowe doubled in the lead in the 32nd minute.

However, Angolan international Rui Marques gave Leeds hope in the 55th minute and thirteen minutes later Canadian trialist Marcus Haber did himself a lot of good with his first goal for United.

With just seven minutes to go home-grown hero Jonny Howson produced a winner in front of a crowd of almost 4,000 fans at the Carlisle Grounds.

After the game Gary McAllister reflected on the see-saw match.

“The first half was disappointing,” he told the official Leeds website.

“I know we’re very rusty, we’re only two games in and have done a lot of physical work, but it wasn’t acceptable.

“They deserved to be in front, their first goal was a great strike, but we had words and got good reaction.

“The second half was like night and day. We moved it better, showed more quality and got three good goals.”

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…
