So - As Fans Are we a Rabble on Away Days ?

A point that often gets a mention when on our travels by local press is the masses & volume that our club brings to towns & cities.Most comments expressed are centred on the atmosphere our fans generate inside the stadium which is always positive and this season is no exception.Yes we do have sadly 'incidents' that obviously can occur which are negative which are few and far in between thankfully.

This season we are being followed more closely by the authorities & media off the pitch as well - Why ?

Well, we are a 'story' for starters (always were/and still are) and various Leeds fans have noticed more cameras & phone piccies been taken this season and with more heavy Police supervision being implemented this scenario won't change.Reacting to this legal 'intrusion' can create incidents but hopefully this won't escalate into any of our supporters being placed at risk.

The 'shepherding' of our fans at London Bridge station prior to the Millwall game has been flagged up as an example of how not to treat travelling fans,despite the fact that drink & bravado was obviously a contributing factor but the 'herding' added to crushing incidents on the station forecourts.Rights or wrongs this is an 'Away day' and safety is paramount to all members of the public including all Leeds United supporters and dogs,batons and herding is only going to create hostility IMO which is something that needs addressing quickly as does the non Leeds ticketing allocations for our away games.The club can do only so much and does it well for the record.No doubt Cardiff will be ready for us next out.

Various videos are out there but the one below captures the above points (particularly after 10 min mark) and the amount of views tells a story too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KWOkqFuFJ04
