Another first for the Foxes in modern times, the 1st round of the FA Cup.

At home to the mighty Stevenage. An accident waiting to happen...

Don't worry, it's just as bad as you imagine it!

At home to Northampton tonight, live on Sultana. 5 years without a win in the competition, an incredibly small crowd producing little or no atmosphere.

You can tell I can't wait for it can't you?

They're not forcing you to go you know, Ken won't come round to your house asking awkward questions if you don't turn up.

Mainly because he's limited on how many days he can spend in the UK mind...

Are you going along? If so, which end are you sitting? And, are you taking a guest who may have to be a bit quiet if things go wrong for Leeds?

Yeah, I'm going, my first visit this season.

Steve and his dad are up from Northampton, which to be honest is the main reason I'm going. We're not sitting together, we're all in our "proper" ends, so it'll just be a case of regular texting.

Got my tickets for me and Pete on Wednesday, middle block of the East Stand, right on the half-way line, 3 rows from the back. I think that gives you a clue as to how big the attendance will be, when the best seats in the house are readily available 48 hours before the game.

Buying the tickets reminded me of the old gag about "What time's kick-off?"

I know. As you can see, I've explained my reasons for going above. I suppose I'm just a natural pessamist in these situations; despite recent events, it's what following teams from Leeds tends to do to you!

Oh, and it's amazing how many days you can spend in the UK on "limited" time you know. If you, say, travel over Thursday, spend Friday in meetings, watch your team play on Saturday and then flight out that night, it only counts as 1 day in the country.

It's based on midnights now, so he'd have to arrive after midnight Thursday and be gone before midnight Saturday for it to only be one day.

Damn. It'll hardly be worth it when I win the lottery now.

Huddersfield lost 4-3 to League Two side Port Vale after leading 3-1 after 65 minutes.

Could be in trouble if a decent manager isn't appointed, but saying that I can't think of any availiible. I imagine Boothroyd would rather go to a Championship side.
