BFC have advised on Social media that there is no parking facilities at the club and that we are using turnstiles 5-8 (which is normal)

The leeds website has advised away fans through turnstiles 1-4 :o

"They won 3-0 at Aston Villa two weeks ago today. Alfie Cresswell gave them a first half lead before Harry Gray, whose dad Andy was our leading goalscorer in both the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons, added two more in the second half."

Harry Gray will be the brother of Archie at Spurs and I presume Alfie Cresswell is the sibling of Charlie, currently plying his trade at Toulouse but formerly at Leeds.

Which would be relatively unusual.

Given Archie is also Andy's son, of course they are brothers, but I saw no relevance to that, just to the fact that his dad had played for us.

There's 10 loyalty points for anyone attending the game.

They did that once last season but not then for any of the other games. I was told they'd made a mistake in awarding them the first time.

Sure that I've seen it that it's 10 points for U21's and Women's games. I'll try to find it.

I was merely stating that to have two players in a team who both have brothers playing professional football must be relatively rare. Nothing more, nothing less.

Interestingly the Leeds first team squad has three:

Sean Longstaff (brother Matty at Montreal)
Brendan Aaronson (brother Paxten at Utrecht)
Lukas Nmecha (brother Felix at Dortmund)

Can't anything on the Club website but is from a reply I received from the Club a few weeks ago -

loyalty points will be added for attendance rather than purchase for this season as with our 25/26 Season ticket policy.

This applies to U21 / BFC Women games.
