Guest AbbeyOwl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Go to quite a few away games but have not been to Leeds for a long time after getting bottled outside the ground after a game years and years ago, My 13 year old lad is absolutely desperate to go, I just wondered if anyone had been there in recent times with kids. We would be driving up. Before all the comments about hiding behind the settee I just want my kid to be safe, after seeing them at Hillsborough earlier this season it seems they are still stuck in the 70's, which is fine if you are going with a group of blokes.

Eck Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Good question. My usual crowd arent going so thought about tekkin the boy but not if its gonna go all 1970s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Take the lad, I think they'll be a heavy police presence so only the thick will decide to start trouble. Obviously keep colours when walking to and from the ground at a minimum. Imo I think you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Massive police presence for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Won't be any different to any other away match, if you want trouble you will find it. There will be lots of chavs pointing fingers at each other and singing nasty songs but if you go to watch the football you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this, but the reality is that there is probably an increased risk of trouble. Although it's an increased risk if you keep your head down then you probably will not be subject to any trouble as generally speaking real trouble is rare in my experience. I'd be wary of wearing colours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'm taking a few kids! If it goes all nawty...I'll use them as a human shield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 There'll be an edge to this one. The early kick off will quieten it down a bit but early kick offs just mean an early start on the beer. I think DJ is going to be in for some stick after calling them all vile animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You can sadly be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get hurt like our friend Sid But in general apply common sense Ie No colours outside the ground Find out from the local plod where they advise you to park your car Obviously nothing associated with Sheffield should be on display in your parked car No shouting, singing or acting a tw@t outside the ground Finally if you and your lad want to go please go don't let the w@nkers win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham67 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If it's not safe for you to take the lad to Elland Road. Then the authorities have to seriously looking at closing that club down. Sure you won't have a problem. Enjoy your day and come back with the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AbbeyOwl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I don't fear any trouble what so ever but yet again I don't got looking for it. I will hardly be looking for trouble taking the lad with me, i was looking for trouble when i got bottled near the Ground before i was just a kid myself. Anyhow we will go and hopefully 3 sweet points will be ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
