Well roger me with a poker POOLS winning at Chesterfield having scored 3, I wonder if Sir Robert of Newton was present, and talk of the first 30,000 crowd at LEEDS on saturday for the visit of 'lowly Hartlepool' a phrase I once saw in the Sheffield Star when we played Sheffield United back in 1982. How Sir Robert would have looked forward to this - does anyone remember the 'Sir Robert's' 2 peanlties in the 16,000 1979 thrice postponed FA cup 3rd round game in 1979 game at the VIC against Tony Currie et al?

I hope the LEEDS press are still billing us as Little Hartlepool - I suspect playing it down will be Danny's tactics.

Those of us with longer memories can truely say - saturday will be some occasion. Just hope Antwi can defend more stoutly than at Hillsborough. For all the 'knockers' out there he is in the side becuase he has some pace whereas Nelse and Big Ben do not!

I am going with a LEEDS Fan so will be in the west stand. Irrespective of the result 30,000 to watch POOLS for a league game is better than Boston away - bring it on and its only Tuesday.

I wonder what the game means of Monky, a Leeds lad, and how Mark Tinkler would have loved this. Two Danish Keepers on show as well!

yes i remember bobby,s pens that was the night they refused to get changed in the old stand(the wooden one)and got changed at the grand

Take it the official site is wrong when it says 1300 sold? Especially when the headline says 600 left.

Presume 2200 gone. Are you gonna wheeze over the 2800 figure or is it going to end up costing you in unsold seats?

Great game in the cup even if 6-2. The crowd was fantastic that night - the biggest I have ever seen. Don't think Leeds are quite as good now and they have a few injuries. Hope that Danny W winds up Bates' toy Elf - shouldn't be difficult.

Typing error I reckon - this pages says less than 600 left.
