Fuck it, let's go for it.  If nothing else it will be a great day out and a good piss up.  We've got to win the bastard thing one year...

We should have beaten Arsenal at our place a few games back and we are utter balls at home. We're a lot better away and there's no reason why we can't beat either of those two teams.

Agree with this.
If we go for it though, not if we respect them too much and start by being frightened.

That's if it's Arse.
If it's Leeds, the same!

Who knows, it maybe Leeds Utd we come up against.

If not Arsenal v Aston Villa, game of the round for me, the Liverpool v Man Utd will probably flatter to deceive.

At least we're away from home so we have a chance of beating either of them.

I really hope we can take up and sell a massive allocation, forget about the League and try and enjoy ourselves for a change.

Leeds got an initial 5,100 in the lower tier with an option of a further 3,700 in the upper tier.

A travelling support of nearly 9k would be a quality experience. Just need the team to turn up.

From the Leeds site I got the info from.

We will receive an initial allocation in the Lower Tier of the visitors section of approximately 5,100 tickets priced at £35 adults, £15 senior citizens 65+ and £14 for juniors under 16. Disabled tickets (wheelchair and ambulant) are priced at £17.50. A further allocation of approximately 3,700 tickets may be available in the Upper Tier. However, this allocation will only be available if there is sufficient demand and we can guarantee to sell all of this section. Prices in the Upper Tier would range from £41 to £50. The deadline for us to request the Upper Tier is 5pm on Sunday. Therefore, our usual sales period is shorter than usual but necessary on this occasion.

I doubt we'll ask for the extra 3,700 in that case - it's a lot of money to gamble with.

Well we have just spent over £500k on Robbie Keane apparently. Im hoping the club lay on free coaches as well.
