I think that's very expensive for a pre season game. I understand it's against Leeds but for a friendly, I think it's a bit steep.

Looks like our Ken called your Chairman and said to stick the prices up (he'll do anything to piss us off). Sold 2,000 Away tickets to Leeds and an estimated 800 - 1000 without tickets on the way to drink Devon dry.

They all seemed to be massive as well - like you have to be 6ft to support Leeds!

I was invited to tuck in, not just me though

Camp on the pitch and take yer tent down in the afternoon and re-erect it after the game (under the cover of darkness)

Go on, slip in the Bristow with us and join in "Leeds fans here, Leeds fans there, Leeds fans every .................. ". [/quote]
It was hardly a 'glory' as it was only a 3rd round game. Mind you we also played in the 4th round that season unlike some. I am pleased to say I will be in Italy when this pre-season spectacular takes place although I would not have gone anyway. Thanks for your invitation but there are some clubs I could never support and Leeds is one of them. I'm firmly with Cloughie, "never won anything without cheating". As Cloughie knew far more about the game than I ever will I am happy to trust my opinion on his professional judgement [/quote][/quote]


OK, I will leave you with your opinion that only Leeds have only ever won anything by cheating. I am pleased you imply there is no diving, feigning of injuries, shirt pulling, sly handballs, bellyaching in the refs ear. Or teams like Chelsea in the 1970 Cup Final equally as dirty as Leeds were with both sides kicking lumps out of each other, but hey if Cloughie didn't know that, then it couldn't be true.
Similar to my earlier post about not comparing Leeds fans of 2012 with those of the 1980's, some people are so blinkered.

You and Scott B would make good Leeds fans by the sounds of things, living on past glories, if you are refering to 50 odd years ago...

Quite right too, you never know, we still may draw a decent team in one of the cups later in the season.

I don't know wether our club and some of our fans have not quite got the picture here with this match yet, hopefully our club has, Leeds fans wether you love them or hate them are a different breed, they will follow their team to the ends of earth in large numbers no matter what is riding on the game/P-S-F etc.

Many Leeds fans have already picked up on the fact they can pay on the day and will try to enter the home ends anyway, not forgetting Leeds have a massive support around Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, this game may well sell out.

I am away on Hloiday next week and arrive back in Newton Abbot around 4 pm on the 27th just in time for the match..yipee, I have been down and brought tickets for the match, I suggest those who really want to go do the same, remember the greater number of us gulls fans who buy tickets the less Leeds fans we will have on the popside.

Guys, this is Leeds United 2012, please do not confuse this with Leeds United of the 1980's. Yes, very good away following and that does not mean trouble makers, this will be a Party Atmosphere if the TOMA happens.

When I was a Windmiller in the late 90's, I often worked at Oakhampton and come t'end of week on tut way back North I would nip off Junction 26 of your M5 (across the border in Bandit Country) and collect some flagans of bootleg cider from Sheppy Cider Mills.
After a nogin I would use it to strip the paint of our doors before re-painting bthe buggers.
Aaaaahhhh,

You know what Fanatics, even Mrs KBEES is getting excited about this match. With her, the little jesters and the dog spending a long weekend on the Englands equivilent to the South of France, she thinks she will finally get to meet all the Foot Soldiers I go to away games with.
FKTS ........ and will not tell Mrs KBEES any stories
Thorny (FameAsser) you know the score...... schtum.

once again thankyou torquay utd for a sensible approach in the allocation of tickets.
as for the ones who are bitter and twisted about leeds fans having half of the ground, get over it and think of the money your lovely little club will make.
regards.

Doesn't suprise me as Mrs KBEES has booked it. I do not mind fine dining as, but prefer a decent plateful or just fish n chips with scraps from Graveley's. I did say I would take the family for good feed if she let me and my foot soldiers go to the football........ Looks like it's my own fault.
Anyhow Gully, thanks for the heads up and enjoy the game.

BTW, if Bates sells up in the next week or so, which is looking very likely, the Leeds fans will be in extraordinaryly good spirits and the party will be in full swing that weekend.

NW1919 wrote:BTW is Man Fridays a decent restaurant as we are thinking of booking there for the Saturday night ?

Also, is the Orange Tree any good, I think Mrs KBEES has sorted lunch time Saturday their for us and our little foot soldiers.

TIA (Thanks In Advance)

Is this thread still floating around, I thought we weren't going to be given any additional tickets. I have mine and my boys and have a couple of mates who were trying to get tickets in the home end as they thought we sold out.
I'll have a word and tell'em to get online and dust down the jester hats.
