stadium wise - it was a bit of a shambles.

get to the turnstiles at 19:25 - get told to walk down to the box office to purchase a ticket.

Due to the 30 minute queue I just make it in time for the first goal. Only 1 window open serving fans who want to purchase a ticket, they where printing off the tickets on demand; everyone had to wait for their tickets to be printed which slowed the queue down not to mention leeds having 6 other staff sitting around doing nothing waiting for leeds fans to collect tickets.

Stewarding was the worst I have ever seen. Totally over the top, encouraged problems, police lead by stewards as oppose to the other way around. Stewards/bouncers where unidentifiable dark clothing with no ID number on show.

Surprised by the police, they where used as puppets of an over zealous stewarding team for a company (showsec) who have been banned frm running various events all due to heavy handed nature.
Most noticably, they where thrown off the Leeds festival contract for hiring no more than a bunch of thugs who did some very dubious acts all under the showsec name.

The game

Im proud but feel frustrated as it clearly wasnt our night. Look at the BBC website, the stats show an even game. with Stanley missing a greater number of chances.
I though Bobby Grant played very well and I hope he will still be with us come the Gillingham cup game.
I think its fair to say David Martin played well for Leeds in goal.
