Marching On Together

A message from the players.

As the first team squad at Leeds United, we wanted to reach out to the fan base regarding yesterday’s game and subsequent posts on social media.

Firstly, the performance was not good enough. There is no other way to look at it and the only way to respond is on the pitch. Leeds fans travel up and down the country in huge numbers and deserve more than this.

What is just as concerning to us as a group, is the video online of us leaving the hotel. Words can’t express how sorry we are that the youngster in the video wearing the Leeds kit is not shown more love from the squad. On a matchday we do an activation walk, before and after this we stop for photos and autographs to ensure we interact with fans, but also that we are on time when leaving for games. However, there is no excuse for not acknowledging fans and if the parents of the fan wearing the Leeds kit in the video could make themselves known to us, we would be grateful.

We do not believe that this fight is over and we will keep going until the last ball is kicked this season. Thank you again for your support.

The club can be contacted at [email protected]

Fight till the last ball is kicked. Ok then

Irish Ian wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 12:14 pm That is a pretty high standard to hold others too.
I hope you can live up to it yourself.

But these overpaid pampered footballers are representing their club and it’s the absolute minimum expected that they should take some time away from their phones to chat with a youngster etc.

Move on

Jaydog wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 12:34 pm Not really with you Ian. I’m saying they are very privileged and should remember where they came from.
Are you defending the behaviour of some players in completely ignoring fans. Young fans.
As a kid I went to loads of Opens (golf) and it was easy to get autographs and chat to players. Even the greats of the game. Sport has become very elitist generally speaking.

I really regret (being caught) and I'm so sorry (I was caught). I won't do it again (as in I'll make sure I won't be caught again)...
