Sorry you didn't make it down to the pub here in Sydney David!
Its was an unbelievable result for us, and the atmosphere was incredible! Still cant believe despite the delay that the score was kept mumm. Another bonus is the bar manager was so impressed by the behaviour and drinking ability of the Leeds fans that we have been invited to hold another meet up there for the Spurs FA Cup game in a couple of weeks!
