The scene at Nethermoor

Hats off to the Nethermoor staff

You wouldn’t know it now but there was a crazy storm at around 4.30pm here which delayed things a bit. Thunder, lightning, folk running for cover. It was more like the Caribbean and the staff here at Guiseley have done a wonderful job getting rid of all the water. They were forced to open the ground a bit later than desired as a rapid clean up operation was undertook. And now you would never know. Team news to come shortly. Expect a young side for Leeds who are away at Blackburn tomorrow.

Kick-off delayed

Tonight’s friendly will now kick off at 7.45pm - owing to bad traffic it seems and not the effects of the storm. In the meantime it’s so nice not just to be back but to see actual fans. You can feel a huge sense of relief at some sort of normality returning and plenty of people are sitting down with their pints, and enjoying them,

A big moment

Only a friendly tonight but hugely significant in the bigger picture that this will be the first time Leeds away fans have been at an away game since Hull City on Feb 29, 2020. And then the world changed.

Tidy and quick start from Leeds for whom Gelhardt is upfront. Zipping it about. Miller wide left. 0-0. 4 mins.
