Elland Road has been left ‘looking like Glastonbury after the festival finished’ after Leeds United fans chucked paper on the pitch.
Play in Leeds United’s match this evening, being broadcast on Sky Sports, had to be stopped briefly while players from both sides removed debris from the pitch. Some on social media have been asking whether it was some kind of protest.
Whereas actually, it appears like supporters at Elland Road are just being a little mischievous. The paper has come from a mural reading ‘ Yorkshire ’, aimed as a little dig at the visiting Lancashire side, which fans formed ahead of the match.
