Serious question: would folk go to Wembley again if we get into the play off final? Last years trip was shit for me. £100 a ticket, probably spent near £400 on the whole day. Shite atmosphere, shite drink, shite food, fucking work the next day, Forest wankers allowed in our end, fat fuck of a ref and swizzed by VAR. Maybe it would have been different if we had won. There were so many cheaper tickets and you spend what you want. The whole weekend; ticket, travel, accomodation and beer cost £200, gove or take £10. It is one of them, if you weren't to go and we won, you would regret not been there.

I've always held the theory that the depth of feeling towards Leeds is stronger on the Leeds side of Huddersfield. I grew up in Moldgreen/Dalton and then moved to Wooldale/Holmfirth as a young un so they never really affected me. We rarely played them. Don't have any Leeds supporting friends or family or work colleagues. I believe folk from Mirfield, Dewsbury, Hecky, Battyeford, Cleckheaton etc may be more in contact with Leeds fans or family who are 'wrong uns' and probably feel closer to the enemy so to speak and thus the depth of feeling is stronger. No way. I've always lived on the Colne Valley side of Town and I don't know a single Town fan that doesn't hate Leeds. I get that but the heavy woollen is a half way house, a melting pot. Its probably 50 50.

Fingers crossed the council buy the skip back after another capitulation

Somehow the lure of the PL wasn't all they make it out to be second time round.

As much as we did when we got that point at Chelsea, celebrating 17th place doesn’t have the same feeling as celebrating being elevated into the league above. The PL is simply a cash cow, and unless you’re prepared to spend hundreds of £m’s then 17th place is all you can ever aim for.

Of course I would. We went down Friday and took in the Challenge Cup final as well, all in it would've been cheaper for me and the Mrs to go to Tenerife for a weeks all inclusive holiday than the what the weekend in London cost us last May but we would still do it all again.

As a fan those are the games that make it all worthwhile and give you the memories that last a lifetime. So the (currently) 18,000 or so ‘proper’ fans would go no matter what you would hope. It’s the day trippers who might think twice next time after the experience of last season and the fact that we’ve been and seen it and done it so many times. That’s why we don’t sell out any more. Always makes me laugh when people make such a big thing about how many tickets each club sells. There’s a post somewhere about how Coventry and Luton will comfortably outsell us this time. They may well do but so what, they’ve both risen from either non league or league 2 in recent years. It’s not rocket science that all the hangers on will want to see them reach the PL. Doesn’t make them a better supported club than ours. * not suggesting ldr isn’t a proper fan 😋

Like many of here, I’ve come across fans of many football clubs over the years. Last year at Wembley was my worst ever experience. To make a weekend of it, we booked into a hotel for the night before the game, close to Wembley Stadium. Take in the atmosphere and experience the anticipation of such an important game etc. in the hotel, Forest fans were abusive to families with kids, they were aggressive towards female Town fans and I didn’t witness one person who was prepared to have friendly banter. Before the game we went for a walk and were abused constantly ( I can take it but not very pleasant for my wife) After the game, at Kings Cross Station, when Town fans boarded the train we were all abused again. This wasn’t banter - it was venomous. If you didn’t attend Wembley, you have no idea how bad these people were. Not doubting your experience, but other than a couple of lads in the services on M1 heading down, I didn't encounter anything like this around the ground from the Forest lot we walked by at all points. But, recalling all the social media postings, undoubtedly they do have a rather distasteful fan culture. My post above should have been in the quote.

We made a pretty good fist of celebrating 18th in the Championship last week

It’s very feasible that you can attain a mid table place at least without super spending. Reaching the Premier League is the ultimate goal for any club, you can’t take away the hope and the ambition.

We get slated for not filling our end at Wembley, yet if we'd sold out we'd get called day trippers and plastics. I always ask them what number could we take that would meet their approval.

A major factor in the day is which end your in the Green man pub and walk down to the stadium is a FAR better experience, I would be going no matter what , I will never miss such a big day out with my beloved club. I have been every time we’ve made it since Swansea and had a brilliant day out every time. Probably putting the Bristol rovers and reading games in my top 10 experiences in my life and I feel I’ve lived a dam good life. I suppose it’s how much your invested in the club. The emotions of the day really run away when you’re deeply invested. The year we lost to Peterborough at old Trafford didn’t really bother me as much but I’d been working away for the majority of that year and obviously wasn’t as invested with my heart that year.

If you look useful they won,t say a dickybird.{quoting from experience} Look useful , were you carrying a trowel or maybe a placard stating willing to help if required . Just intrigued to know why you look useful. 😂and surely a useful person will attract attention. No need to reply I’m only joking.

Worried now that Leeds will escape the drop. Two winnable games coming up against two teams totally disinterested in the result. Everton will probably win their last game against Bournemouth but it might not be enough. Mind you a trip to Goodison next year sounds interesting although Southampton and Leicester doesn't.

There is only so much can go your way. Town staying up was obviously a massive priority. Anything else is a bonus. Bradford fucking up again is a minor little bonus.

And Peterborough making an arse of it Agreed. Wednesday ballsing things up at Wembley would be fun though. Think WH will do leeds Sunday but they’ll beat Spurs last game of the season which might not be enough as I reckon Everton will get a result in their final game. Leicester are toast now, they’re not winning at St James’s Park on Monday. Everton have dodged a few bullets in recent seasons, leeds should have gone last season, both are worthy relegation candidates.
