couple of years back i went to the Bremner suit tickets were 40 i think so not much dearer? got to go in vip area before and see a lot of our history and trophies which was very special and walking round er inside was special sadly the seats where near back so view not great (well for me as i have dodgy minces) but the atmosphere was not amazing either as near the back.

this said it was few years ago when we were playing bad and fans were protesting against mc, might be different now. Last season sat in front of west and was great as right on pitch side and my little girl met kop kat was lovely but family end so not sure that is right atmosphere.

I think if looking for proper fan experience so to speak you have to sit in the kop? sadly something i haven't done in year and looks out due to my little girls not quite being the hardend fans yet, even if they do love chanting the songs.

there is only slightly less atmosphere on the moon than in the Bremner suite.

south stand best atmosphere but unlikely you will get a ticket there - north stand second best. if you are travelling to the city centre, you can get a special bus to the stadium and then back - that is sometimes the easiest way

Thats outrageous BW They obviously didn't see your facebook post mate. How can they possibly give berardi an award when he is a liability and plays out of position? Dumbfounded.

simple because he is good on the right and not his fault he is right footed to be fair as cover on left he is decent just not as a starter. I think you should applaud his attitude to the team to play out of position if anything, but then I wouldn't expect you to know that as you only have eyes for wood!

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree. Every club needs a player thst asked would play every where on the pitch and still give 100% and do a good job. We've got berardi. Mr fix it!

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Mar 2017 13:49:42
so are we saying left back isn't Berardi's best position?

Lads just read this response to a news article that feel is a great piece of writing. "Monk and his staff has been singing from the same hymn sheet all season. All about the squad and the next three points, he has maintained dignity throughout, not getting carried away with a win, lose or a draw, some supporters could do with learning the same ! Monk and the club have move a million miles in 6 months, yes 6 months ! The thing monk must do is keep ALL the players in check and on an equal level, not so easy as we have seen with Rannieri, what fans don't see is the day to day basis, there are some big egos in football, and some who think they are the 'big fish' amongst the players, the difficult thing for managers is keeping these type in check, they can cause all sorts of problems, and who gets the blame, the manager. On the cooper front, I am not saying he is a great player, as with most of our team, however, we should remember how much some so called supporters got on wood and greens back, 'useless, not worth the shirt, get rid of them', and worse ! Its funny how players improve with confidence and BACKING from supporters instead of abuse, like in any walk of life ! I really hope Monk can keep the players so focused, we might not have the best players, but boy have we a team now and a fighting spirit to be proud of. What ever happens monk has done amazingly well in such a short time. Could we actually be promoted, you just never know, especially with Leeds United" ! MOT Makes you proud don't you think!

Good post Dougie. People do tend to get carried away. I remember at the start of the season people calling for Monk's head, even on this site. Then we win a few and we're getting promoted, lose a couple and we're doomed again!

A few of us commented at the start of the season we were in transition and that we'd have peaks and troughs; luckily for us we have a manager who's getting the very best out of the majority of the players, with many of the players who were average last season improving dramatically this season.

That has to be down to Monk, Pep, Beatts and the rest of the coaching staff. They've got players fitter, more confident and have instilled a togetherness we haven't seen in many a year. The away results we've grinded out when our backs are to the wall have proved this.

Last season etc we'd have lost many of these. With regard to your comment about Cooper, this guy has appeared to remain professional at all times. Often turning to Twitter to express his delight at results, even when he hasn't got off the bench. He is a team player and the lad deserved his chance.

People bang on about the fact he could have cost us against Brighton, but that ball in was a bitch to defend. If he left it, it would have been a tap in, so he had to get something on it and unfortunately he skewed it straight towards goal. Luckily he got a bit of air on it, or it would have been a certain own goal. Apart from that I thought he played excellently in a game which would prove to be one of our toughest of the season.

His confidence will improve with more game time. We're having a great season and I'm sure Gary will keep the team as grounded for the run in as he has all season. The pressure is really off us now and we can afford to look up now and put the top two under pressure. Up the Whites, down the pints! MM

I agree both dougie and mm and i know you are not including me in the some fans bit. But we can't just be hippy happy all the time. Boring! We all support leeds
But we all got our own opinions and are allowed to whinge and air them.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2017 13:41:52
good posts both. Nice pov on the Cooper near miss as well MM - if he'd left it thinking he might turn it in and a Brighton player had scored from the cross we'd all have been lamenting the fact he didn't try to get something on it - maybe he knew Green was right in front of him and would deal with it for him.

Aus, I can't remember most of yesterday, let alone who it was saying we were doomed earlier in the season. It certainly wasn't aimed at anyone in particular and you're right we all have our own opinions and it would be a boring site if we all shared the same ones. MM

I agree with you all

Lads the nice thing is we care and whatever the league position or the we play we all go back to the same old thing. We are tribal we are unique being a Leeds fans you only have to listen Leeds bang bang bang Leeds so whether it's Janson Cooper Taylor or Baradi they are all fighting for our tribe MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2017 09:08:42
Very sensible post mm Thought it was a BW post. And alf, true about cooper not getting anything on it and us all saying he should have. Leave the lad alone i say. They all put a shift in. Sometimes you have a good day sometimes bad.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2017 06:55:45
I think what we need to all take away from yesterday is yes we love the game and the club, but in the grand scheme of things it's only a game at the end of the day and it won't change our lives!
