We are coming with a group of at least eight men. Please order some extra beer for that weekend ;)

How many awayfans will come to Leeds do you think?

Probably not that many.
There's a bit of a rivalry built up between the two clubs these days and there's been some issues with ticket allocation in the last decade or so.
This may mean fewer Cardiff fans will make the effort ..

Between 100-200 I would imagine, they've never really brought many to Elland Road but even with those numbers there'll be a huge police presence.

Yeah, I was gonna say about 250 max. too, so we're both thinking the same ..

Good job too - they tend to be a bit arsey.
I remember the mayhem they caused in Southampton when they brought a couple of thousand down here. Some businesses actually closed down for the afternoon : on a bloody Saturday :wtf:

There is a direct train that takes a couple of hours, mind ..

Last season Cardiff brought 10-12 (although officially none), you could actually count them

No, it'll be a good match, mate - just that Cardiff don't like us and we don't like them so the police make it as difficult as possible for both sets of away fans to travel and the reception they get in the town is usually less than welcoming.

Sometimes it's better just to stay at home.

The game itself should be great though, especially because our recently ex-manager, Neil Warnock, is in charge of Cardiff City and has prompted a mini-revival since joining them.
They also have our very recent captain, Sol Bamba, in their defence so there should be lots of opportunities for us to score :lol:

This was because they were having a protest against ticket prices for away fans at ER
