It was always going to be a strange atmosphere inside Elland Road on Sunday afternoon. Leeds United’s fate wasn’t sealed before the game, but those who made the journey to Beeston knew their side needed a miracle if they were to stay in the Premier League.
Chances to pick up points had come and gone throughout the closing weeks of the campaign and many supporters had probably already come to terms with their side’s relegation from the Premier League. It’s been in the post for some time for Leeds and that probably sucked an element of the tension and expectation out of the day for a lot of those inside the ground.
That didn’t stop supporters from belting out ‘Marching on Together’ with all their hearts as the two teams entered the field of play on the final day of the season in the thin hope that something special would unfold in front of their eyes. Unfortunately, they were let down by the 11 players representing them on the field of play.
