Galway at Cardiff
LUSN group Galway Whites in Leeds
Galway Whites organise 5 or 6 trips a year, bringing a coachload of about 30, to Elland Rd. They make good use of their allowance of 30 tickets for at least one of those trips.
Well 30 of us Galway Whites made the bus journey over on Friday, another few flew over.
We had a great drive up the motorways on Friday arrived in Leeds 3.15 pm first stop was Elland Road club shop. We spent an hour there (spending lots of money!) before heading into the city to check into our hotel.
We caught up with a few friends in the Templar on Friday night.
Saturday morning didn't start too well for us as one of our members, Pat, suffered a mild heart attack in the hotel and was taken to hospital . The good news on Saturday evening was he was comfortable. We hope Pat will be discharged today and wish Pat and his wife Laura well. Luckily Pat has family in Leeds and can rest up before the journey home.
We loaded the bus again at 12.30 on Saturday and headed to Elland Road. We parked up next to Hampshire Whites and said a quick hello to Jacqui, before setting off to the Peacock.
We then went in to the watch the game. And what a game.! Never in my life did I think I'd see a 7-0 win but the mighty Whites put on a football demonstration on Saturday. Right from the off 2 goals up after 13 mins Another 5 in the second half
I was sitting in John Charles Stand near the Tunnel. Could hear the banter from the south stand but wasn't sure what they were singing until I saw the videos on line. What a laugh it was brilliant the South singing to the lad in the big coat. You'll never outsing Leeds fans. They'll come up with any song Brilliant humour.
Sunday was the journey home finally landing in the door at 11.30 last night. Another brilliant weekend with Galway Whites. We'll do it all again in March. Roll on.
