Re: Shocking from Leeds
From the Official Site.
The club is disappointed to announce that there will be no supporters at Elland Road from Cardiff City at this Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship fixture. Cardiff City Football Club were originally offered 1,000 tickets as part of a voucher to ticket exchange including a new escorted coach system for their family season ticket groups. This was rejected by Cardiff City who declined the 1,000 tickets offered. After further consideration Leeds United offered Cardiff City Football Club 500 tickets with unrestricted travel. Late on Wednesday April 8 Cardiff City notified Leeds United that they did not wish to take up the second offer of 500 tickets unescorted, and that no supporters would travel to Leeds for the Championship fixture at Elland Road. Leeds United have consulted with West Yorkshire Police and The Football League regarding this matter and Leeds United will continue to work with Cardiff City to try and reach a mutually agreeable solution for next season’s fixtures, both at Elland Road and at the Cardiff City Stadium. Leeds United has always put the safety management of spectators at the forefront of their planning. With no away supporters at Elland Road on Saturday the club are expecting a unique atmosphere, and would like to encourage as many Leeds United supporters to attend to support the team.

No doubt there will be quite a few scattered around the ground, and we will see the Purple Ronnies, along with the stewards, running around the touchline trying to get the various little disturbances which will inevitably occur.

Leeds United FC have only offered Cardiff city 500 tickets for next weeks fixture without restrictions. The supporters club has declined this offer and will maybe look to boycott running coaches to this fixture but instead run a coach up to Leeds to demonstrate instead. We will discuss with our other travel group members and urge them also to join the boycott. It will then be up to the individual if they want to attend the game or not if they qualify for a ticket.
Further discussions are taking place but this is our stance as it stands at the moment.
We are awaiting confirmation what parties made this decisions and where our protests will take place. As an organisation we will be engaging with the Football Supporters Federation to support us in our actions and look to see if a legal case can be brought against those responsible.
Leeds United are being totally unreasonable over the tickets for our game in 10 days time, Leeds are trying to enforce restrictions on Cardiff City fans travelling by coach to Elland Rd, our club is holding firm and want the same treatment afforded to their fans earlier this season repaid on a reciprocal basis.
That means we should travel without any need for a voucher exchange but go to the game as we have done at any other ground this season and be respected but Leeds don't want to play ball, their fans were able to travel by any means they wished earlier this season without restriction and Cardiff City are fighting our fans corner in demanding that the same attitude is applied to our supporters.
Between 1pm and 2pm today there's a meeting with Cardiff City fans and the club to decide weather to boycott the Leeds match, they will maximum give us only 500 tickets and that's thanks to the Football League
Fair play horrible club.
Dont worry we will sing a song for you.............
Redders must stay we might need him in Feb!!!
