Anyone going to this?

The question could well apply to Leeds United themselves sad.gif

Not sure I can be bothered travelling across the country for a chance of getting beaten up!

The other games are mentioned here:
Leeds United pre-season football games in Germany

Im going.. marching on together and all that..

Isnt there just a little bit of over speculation regarding the trouble we might encounter?? I know every football team has its bad side but a pre season friendly?

Ill be wearing my shirt...

I was just kidding. But it's still too far for me to go, even if it is my birthday!

ok so i went, the atmosphere was hostile my god.. 7500 people it was like wandering into a dragons den (not the tv show!!)...

not a bad game, unfortunatly my seat was with the union fans and i notice one guy with a leeds shirt on, sat next to him and said thank god your here.. put my shirt on and then he replied "was??".. but i didnt get much trouble apart from when my confidence gre and i started heckling...

funniest moment was when a german competition winner was allowed to choos a song to play at half time.. the announcement included an apology to fc union that he chos a song by great yorkshire band embrace...

walking out with all the union fans in my leeds shirt was a little bit worrying seen as though u end up walking through woodland but even so i managed to spot dennis wise in one of the makeshift changing rooms and he agreed to sign my girlfriends shirt in front of th hostile procession..(i might even goet 3pounds for that on ebay!
