Won't it be very very surreal if we gain promotion with no fans in the stadium... I'd take it every day of the week mind but how very bizarre it would be.

It'll be very very interesting to see how well or not so well everyone starts when it does resume. We had great momentum. 7 points clear with 9 games left.. realistically probably only need 4 wins or so.

I think the break will actually benefit us. Last year the team ran of steam and there were times it looked like it could happen again this year. Firmer pitches and the long break, with the opponents we have to play, and I think we'll see the best of this team. Bielsa won't leave anything to chance and will no doubt be spending this isolation studying everything about our opponents and how the team can improve

It’s got me today as well tad. Great player for Leeds and a lovely guy off the pitch. Massive contribution to those glory years.

There can't have been many better centre half pairings in the history of the game than Hunter and Charlton.

Very very sad news. RIP Norman

More sad news from ER this evening , the passing of the much underrated Trevor Cherry , a classy defender who represented the club almost 500 times , no mean feat for a player who's quality was often overlooked even by the club's own fans .

RIP Trevor .
