York City v Leeds United 10th July 2019 at Bootham Crescent Welcome back to all my followers and I hope this season brings us the rewards we are all craving. Last season’s ending hit many of us very hard and it has taken a while to get over not getting automatic promotion. We have brought …

I was asked to take part in this Dissertation by Hatty and thank you for the opportunity.

With one thing after another happening kicking you when you are down together with grid locked roads all around us, it was a relief to get to Elland Road in time for kick off. The one thing it did though was give me no chance to worry about the game ahead of us. I knew …

On Wednesday I was having my nails done and it was really funny when I was introduced to the lady next to me, as she was a Leeds fan too. The two of us were chatting away about Leeds United with Hannah and Debbie looking at us both saying that they hadn’t a clue what …

After hearing Bamford had got a two game suspension for simulation after the Villa game by the FA it came as no surprise that Hourihane from Villa had got away with the punch on Klich. Because he stayed on his feet it was deemed not a punch, surprise, surprise. Leeds put in a defence for …

Well it’s certainly never dull being a Leeds fan that’s for sure! Today we had what I call a proper game of football, blood and thunder, with the Leeds crowd roaring the team on. Full commitment from the start from our team which helped to ease the hurt felt after missing out on automatic promotion. …

Despite Leeds losing the semi-final 3-0 which I put down to me jinxing it (sorry), it was nice to go and see the game. After the pressures of the Championship it was a refreshing change and there were lots of familiar faces there to support the team in a sellout crowd of 3,051. It was …

After having no nerves up to now, today’s game had a different feel to it. Despite sleeping on the way to the services which I thought would take my mind off things, my stomach churning started with a vengeance. After the Wigan defeat which was a real downer, it felt like we’d blown our chances …

As I headed to Elland Road with my granddaughter Alexis the sun was shining making a great day for football. On arrival at our parking spot all the stresses from a manic week slipped away because all that mattered was being at the game. Although I’ve had to limit going on social media recently, I …

With such a hectic week behind me I’d not really thought about the game today so wasn’t unduly worried, because as usual I was going to see what transpired on the pitch. With only five games left and having a later kick off due to Sky televising today’s game things could change in the table …

I was travelling by car to this game as the person who was taking me was in a meeting so we set off later than we normally would. Because of this we had a pre-booked parking spot and a big thank you to David Hill for sorting this out for us which is greatly appreciated. …

This week has been a very challenging and emotional week. Tuesday saw a great gathering including lots of Leeds fans pay their respects at Trev Horsley’s funeral. Thursday was the anniversary of my daughter Charlotte’s death and the end of radiotherapy/chemotherapy treatment for my husband Phillip and yesterday saw the anniversary of the murders of …

It’s not often that a television crew turns up at your house to interview you! I would like to say a big thank you to Mark and the crew for filming me for the 100 years of Leeds United documentary. I look forward to seeing the finished version of this in due course which will …

The weather was foul as my granddaughter Hannah and I headed to Elland Road showing that this storm showed no signs of abating. With flooded roads to contend with on the way home, I’ll be glad when the weather improves. At least we didn’t have snow like Northumberland and Scotland though. For once it wasn’t …

After a bad night and an early morning call to Jimmy’s Leeds, I was looking forward to catching up with my sleep on the journey to Reading. Again thank you to fans who spoke to me in support of my husband and me as they are greatly appreciated. I’d seen Andy Loftus post that the …

Hearing loads of Leeds fans and neutrals had found their tickets for today’s game had been cancelled by Bristol I felt for them. What makes that decision a mockery was seeing half of the away stand seats had been covered over and out of bounds when they could have accommodated these fans. Never mind the …

Before the game I couldn’t have told you what day we were one never mind who we were playing, plus I’d forgotten the game had been moved for Sky. Suffering from extreme lethargy I needed a pick me up that’s for sure. The Navan Whites were bringing their new flag with them and I’d arranged …

As Leeds headed to QPR for the re-arranged game, I tried to ignore all the stats coming out about their recent bad run of defeats. Having followed Leeds for so long, I know the form books go out of the window when they play us but for once I was hoping we would have the …

Firstly, it was good to hear that Jack Clarke’s recent illness has been diagnosed as a virus and that he is back in light training. Get better soon Jack and I look forward to seeing you back on the pitch. The soap opera of Leeds United reflects my own family, with always something going on. …

It was good to hear that Jack Clarke was released from hospital and although he is still having more tests this week, I wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch. Personally, my days of multi-tasking and trying to be Superwoman came to an abrupt end yesterday as …
