Description:
The United fans pack their end at this pre-season friendly with Burnley at Turf Moor here before the 2007-08 kicked off for real. United lost the game 2-0 in front of 5,290 supporters with a massive showing of support for the Whites. The panicked Burnley officials at one point ran out of tickets, according to them they said they wasn't expecting that many Leeds fans to turn up. Just under 2,000 United fans made the trip many of them from the wrong side of the Pennines. During the game the Leeds fans held a protest against Chairman Ken Bates chanting 'Get the Chelsea out of Leeds' in reference to the links that Bates and manager Wise have had with the side in the past. Then later the United fans took a comedic approach with 'Shoes off if you hate Ken Bates' which prompted many fans to remove their shoes and wave them in the air. The protests followed the release of fresh details regarding Bates' shady purchase of Leeds United.
