We Are Leeds...

I had tickets for a posh box at Wembley on Sunday to watch Leeds in the Division One play-offs final.

It was the first time I'd been to the new Wembley and it was truly fantastic and the box was fab. Sadly Leeds were rubbish and Doncaster Rovers were the worthy winners and, had it not been for the Leeds United keeper Casper Ankergren, they would have lost at least 3-0.

The even more depressing thing from a Leeds United perspective was that every time a Leeds player got the ball nobody else seemed to want it passed to them, whereas every time a Rovers player got the ball he had at least half a dozen passing options.

On the plus side, however, I have now seen my team at Wembley and at least I still have a team to support, which five years ago was looking decidedly dodgy. We also had the best chant of the day after selling out our ticket allocation, a point made to the sparse gathering of Rovers fans when the Leeds end started singing 'You're shit and you've no support...'

And, of course, next season we start on a level footing with every other side and with Gary McAllister at the helm so we could go up automatically.

Hopefully...
