Johnstone's Paint Trophy

[wobbly]

Great draw for Stanley as it will generate some much needed revenue, however doubt there will be 10000 at the game, we only pulled 10000 for the last round with Grimsby and Grimsby brought about 2500 at a guess

Tickets will be around £15 then concessions for kids and seniors so average around £13

A lot of Leeds fans (myself included) want OUT of this Tin Pot Cup and should have got out a lot earlier, but Bates being Bates no doubt wants the big money final to line his pockets even further as Simon Grayson has played 1st Team in all rounds to date

TV rights should bring in around £70k each (Sky TV)

I'd be very surprised if Leeds allowed him to play against them. Unless, of course, the rules on half season loans prevent them blocking him doing so.

Aren't you glad you said that BEFORE the match. He was clearly not at his best and couldn't pass for toffee.

Am an exile living near Leeds and journey back is easy enough only about 45 minutes drive, but beware of the bloody speed cameras through the roadworks on the M62!
If anyone is driving instead of the lousy trains, parking at ground £5, but some street parking available in Geldard Rd/Lowfields Rd area on industrial estate (check individual streets as some are no parking). If you look on googlemaps or anything like that though it doesnt show that you cant get down lowfields rd by car from stadium end, instead need to come off at j1 m621, take 1st exit off roundabout and then right at lights down Gelard Rd (A62), park around the Lowfields Rd area and walk through under motorway down Lowfields Rd and to stadium.
lowfields rd, leeds - Google Maps
Come on Stanley!

LOL, mind reader, I'm on with it

[AccyAggro]

How many does everyone think we will actually take??

Im guna go for and say about 750, with this in my opinion against the size and history of a club like leeds, being probably the biggest game the club has had post 62 so any stanley fan should be looking to go this game

[baldy]

Shirley The first game back in the football league was bigger?

[AccyAggro]

Perhaps, but like the relevance of this game like cup semi final, wembley 2 games away if we win etc...

Different opinions for different fans

Anyways ha the question was how many does everyone think we will take?

[Grimps]

if put in pappers footy mags etc we could and should take 1000+ more than the 150 away we do

Date confirmed as Tue 15th Dec at 19:45

Cannot wait for that

Not a surprise that we'll be in the South East corner:
