Only 5 days to go... Hope you're as excited as me!
First of all I'll give you a bit of info, I realise others on here have but a few more points can't hurt. You will have no problem parking, Elland Road is surrounded by very large car parks and some smaller ones, each will cost you about £5. I assume most of you are coming up the M6 and across the M62 (I live in Manchester so I use the M62 also) leave M62 at J27 and head towards Elland Road. The ground is signposted of the the junction BEFORE the ground, its easier to park and easier to access the stadium if you go to the next junction so that you pass the ground on your right, take the 3rd exit at the roundabout so you are pretty much next to the stadiumn. Don't park in the side streets! you'll see planty of available car parks from here.
Avoid the OLD PEACOCK but you should be ok everywhere else, wear colours if you want to, it isn't as scary as people would have you believe. as long as you're not singing anti-Leeds songs you'll be fine... Only teams who we have a big rivalry with shouldn't wear colours (Man U, Cardiff, Millwall etc.)
So onto the main event, how you lot been playing in pre-season? we're playing arguably the best football since we played in the Champions League. we 'appear' to be the going in the right direction this season. So far our warm-up has consisted of a mediocre trip to Ireland, a draw with Grimsby, Blackburn (we hammered them), another draw with Newcastle and a win at Burnley, the latter without probably our best 5 players!
I'm not sure what the attendance will be, we usually get around 25,000+ for the opening day in League 1 but apparently you have sold 3,000 too so we'll see.
I fully expect Leeds to win, as would many Leeds fans. Should we have any aspirations of getting out of this division we need to win our home games add that to the fact that we haven't lost an opening day fixture home or away for 20 years... I will go for Leeds 3-1 Exeter City
Hope you have a good day and a good season!
