Leeds vTown
Ask any football supporter and they will tell you that there are some matches in a season that matter more than others. For a Huddersfield Town supporter, it’s when they play Leeds United. Judging by the attendance at Saturday’s match – a massive 36,726 – the feeling is mutual. Town did the double (won home and away) over Leeds last season but by virtue of being top of the league had every chance of reversing that this time. It was not to be. The match sounded brilliant (not being season ticket holders we had no chance of getting tickets to see it) with Anthony Pilkington coming so, so close to scoring the match winner in injury time for Town. Leeds have a reputation for snatching three points off opponents in the last minute so it would only have been fair for them to have a taste of their own medicine. We’ll have to wait until February to do it now.
I suppose the good thing about the draw is that Tom Palmer, my Reads United partner, can’t crow over me when we meet. Not that he does crow. Tom’s not the crowing kind – unlike me. Anyway, no crowing. Honours even. Onwards and upwards.
