For once I'm disappointed at a 'game on' call, from an entirely personal point of view. Driving conditions in Leeds still not ideal enough for me to make the journey today (and it still looks very different around here, compared to the conditions shown on the pic).

All this fuss and the pitch looks like a bloody carpet and we’re nearly in December - times have changed and for the better but it wasn’t that long ago the penalty areas resembled ploughed fields by this point of the season. It’s ten degrees, it isn’t windy, but it is pissing it down. I treated myself to a car park pass - I’m sat in there now, haven’t braved getting out yet. But I might go in a sec and see if they’ve got the early kick off on tele in the east stand concourse.
